Living an era in a day

I think it is the best time to write down something over here, i am in a situation of mind that I can't say is the best or worst, its just the situation, I wonder if I will ever be able to find out the cause why I can't be into the situation deeply. I just came giving my 5th sem Computer Architecture exam, and before the exam I was thinking I may not be able to clear this paper, after the paper I am happy that I am in a situation better than that. So many things are happening inside me, which are affecting me very badly. Of late I have been indulged in thinking and thinking, its like buffer overflow. I keep thinking about my future, the days to come and present day, the way I am living and the way things are happening. Before going far I would like to write down something about today, it is 3:46 pm here in India and I wake up today @ 5:45 am, so I can say its been long since I wake up and in all these hours there has been tremendous changes, I would like to categorize these into following categories: (as in these exams I have bee in habit of writing points ;) )

1. The pre 7:30 era, from 5:45 to 7:30 I was in a very extreme situation, after waking up from few very horrible dreams the first thought that came to my mind was I am gonna fail, I couldn't recall anything I rott last night. Once I decided to quit, to not to revise again, the other thought stuck, that I can do it, the other one was I have to do it, the last thought was really powerful, it made me take book and move over all the syallabus again, and to my wonders I never thought that I can do that, I went over all the pages in 1 hour that was amazing, it is the power of fear, I could still feel that fear, at that moment I was feeling like einstein of today, and working beyond my capacity. After going through all the course once I become a bit relaxed.

2. The second era was post 7:30 era upto 8:20, among extreme tension and fear I continue to have bath, have breakfast, If I can see myself in that situation I may be laughing, how stupid I am. This is I say height of being in fear of what may cause your life in dark, one wrong move and you are out of life, I might be thinking like this, hilarious. At temp around 6 degree centigrade and northern winds blowing at few km/h speed I found myself on the pillion of bike running at around 80 km/h, on a road barely having any traffic. Once while on bike I thought I am going to be mad, I wanted to slap myself for doing what I am doing with me. Reaching college was a pleasant experience, but reaching there meant you are one more step towards exam, thus again that ugly fear.

3. The third era, 8:20 to 9:00 am, this is my beauty that when I found myself in trouble I start doing things like speaking loudly, trying to look cool, when I saw other class mates in same trouble, I become a little relax, this it now beauty of being human, others pain make you relax, as 9:00 am was approaching I become clearer that I can't get out of here and have to concentrate on what seems to be impossible task. Everybody around was stuck to the books and I was little fearless, and someone was having 5-star chocolate, I don't understand why the hell people do this, she could have had that some where else, gosh! people can do anything to look cool, what can be cool than having 5-star just 15 mins before exams sitting like in your bed room, that is something to laugh upon, anyways I just wanted to say her if she had one more of that, she tempted me for 5-star, poor me. And than there are very uncool people who try hard to look uncool, that is also totoally un understandable, and than there are people who don't try to look cool but are born cool, like me ;), 9:00 am its and I am on my seat waiting for paper, the most un desirable wait, second one after one for the results.

3. Three hours, 9:00 am tp 12:00 noon I was in examination hall, exploring myself to every possible limit, recalling everything I know, I learnt after landing on this planet, fighting hard to make that diagram happen the way it was in the book, remembering that 6th point which never happen to come down, repeating those lines , "as we know that" which I myself never knew before this day, scolding myself hard for not rotting this important question which eventually find itself lucky for being on paper, trying hard to avoid myself from looking at the window, and finally counting the pages of the text book that remains un filled, that last minute before 12:00 noon seems to be the most valuable minute of my life, in that minute I knew almost everything but alas! just one minute and the bell rang!

4.Get the hell out of here! I am out, feeling the freedom, who give it a damn! and exam was over! End of an era! tremendous mental torture, one always wanted to avoid but never succedded!

It took a little while to be normal, living in that era was really, really amazing I explored various layers of my inner being and took my self to new height, I can't regret for getting out of that era because still there are lots of them in queue.

@Happys Endings!

I think I don't know the person who wrote this comment, I knew a very different person, this can't be you! I would be happy to be mistaken, but I know I recognize you, giving words of consolation is neither I like never you like, you in tears! I can't even dream in my wildest dreams, all I want to tell is come on man , don't kid with me! A person like you, who had the attitude of saying yes to any situation is saying these words! I tell you I cry almost everyday, in dark! Crying is the most beautiful emotion, I know you will pass this exam and passing this exam is not the point, the point is this paper is just a medium from god, just a message from god to tell you that,"aisa bhi ho sakta tha" like a warning! you know, after 1st year Mechanical and EEE exam cried, that was for the first time I cried after giving exam, I was feeling the same you are feeling, that I am over, and really that feeling had changed my life I am telling you the 1st year exams, the first year hilarious exams changed my life completely, after them I decided not to think exams as the only way to achieve what I want, and I am happy the way I took over from there over! I am feeling sad for you and more than that I am feeling happy that this made you think! you will get out of here with flying colors!Give it a damn! :) And what you fear of? are you fearing of failure? then you are going in a right direction. This fear has done wonders for many people including me! I bank upon you, I don't want you to change but I surely be wanting to tell you that you can do much better, you know that, why I wrote all this? forgive me!

इस दस्त में इक शहर था वो क्या हुआ?

I am listening to a very very beautiful ghazal by Ghulam ali, and I want to dedicate this post to this ghazal। The ghazal starts with a 'sher' which goes like, अपनी आवाज़ की लर्जिश पे तो काबू पा लो, प्यार के बोल तो होठों से निकल आते है, अपने तेवर तो सम्भालों की कोई ये न कहे दिल बदलते है तो चेहरे भी बदल जाते है। I don't remember how many times i have listened this ghazal but still each time i listen to this, it gives me a new meaning. This is the beauty of ghazals, you can get a new meaning every time you listen. ये दिल ये पागल दिल मेरा क्यूँ बुझ गया, आवारगी, इस दस्त में इक शहर था वो क्या हुआ, आवारगी! The english translation is impossible, attempting that will be like killing the ghazal। What I could understand from this line is "what had happened to me", इक अजनबी झोंके ने जब पूछा जब मेरे ग़म का शबब सेहरा की भीगी रेत पे मैंने लिखा, आवारगी। Then ghulam ali sahab takes us to some other place by just his voice, amazing. ये दर्द की तन्हाईयाँ, ये दस्त का वीरान सफर, हम ल...

आख़िर तमन्ना ही तो है!

तमन्ना का क्या है? आख़िर तमन्ना ही तो है! न ख्वाब है, न हकीकत है! तमन्ना तो बस तमन्ना है। जो सच नही वो ख्वाब है, जो सच है वो हकीकत है। जो ख्वाब हो कर भी हकीकत लगे, वो तमन्ना है शायद। खुली आंखों से जो दिखे, वो हकीकत है, जो बंद आंखों से दिखे वो ख्वाब है, जो दोनों से दिखे वो तमन्ना है शायद। सोच कर ही जिसके बारे में, आह निकले वो है तमन्ना! ख्वाब है न हकीकत है, तमन्ना तो बस तमन्ना है! ख्वाब तो फिर भी पूरे हो जाते है तमन्ना तो बस तमन्ना रहती है! पूरी हो जाए जो तमन्ना वो तमन्ना नहीं ख्वाब था। न ख्वाब है न हकीकत है, तमन्ना तो बस तमन्ना है। हर पल एक नई तमन्ना है, हर पल पुरानी को भूलना है। आख़िर तमन्ना ही तो है!

How Osho and Open Source are connected?

In the deepest layer of mine there exist a thought that Osho and Open Source are inter related, once my younger sister asked me what is Open Source and why I am so crazy about it? As Osho's ideology inhibit in all of us in our family, to explain her what exactly Open Source is, I told her, Open Source is like Osho, when we talk about Open source we certainly mean no Microsoft, similarly when we talk about Osho we certainly mean not the trivial way of thinking. I don't know if I can justify this thought by giving some equations, but certainly there is some connection. My heart says this. Open Source is a movement, Osho is a movement and both are related to make life better, think better, think bigger, respect individuality. The biggest connection I find between Open Source and Osho is the importance both to freedom. Open source is all about freedom, free to share, freedom to choose, freedom to modify, Open source talks about freedom of every type so as Osho talks about freedom,...
