Aj main Zindagi se mili

Pareshan thi , bheed men phasi thi ..uljhi uljhi si thi
Maathe pe uske lakeeren khichi thi mano keh rahi ho ki
Thak gayi hoon waqt se ladte ladte .
Saanse kuch fasi fasi si thi uski , shayd khul ke hasna chahti thi ..
Maine rokna chaha ussey par ruki nahi who ..
jaldi mein thi thoda ..phisalti chali gayi

usko yuh dekh ke aankh bhar aayi meri ..dam ghutne sa laga
mai ek gehri saans ki talash mein nikal padi.

Aaj mai Muhabbat se mili...

Muskuranyee woh mujhe dekh kar
Par aankho mein kahi koi dard chhupa tha ..
Shayad phir raat bhar woh soyee nahi thi !!

Chahre ki raunak kai sawalon mein kho gayi thi
Waqt se shayd kahi who bhi haar chuki.thi

Baar baar mujhe dekhti thi par khamosh ho jaati thi
Ansoo tham chuke the shayad ya sailab abhi aana tha.

Bas ek muskurat thi halki si mano keh rahi ho ki ..”khush rehna “
Uski is phiki muskurat ko mai dil mein dabaye aage badh gayee
Jawaab dene ke liye mere pass bhi kuch nahi tha kahi.

Soch mein doobe kadam mere kheech le gaye kahi
Nazar utha ke dekha to bachpan ki galiyon mein khud ko kahad paya.
Waqt bahut guzar chukka magar phir bhi, kuch bhi nahi badla tha wahan

Mai wahan YAAD se mili

Bahut khush thi .. chehak rahi thi
Kuch chhote bachho ke sang nange pairon se daud rahi thi

Mujhe dekh kar khilkhila ke hasee,
Boli ..aaj phir aa gayi tum mujhe dhoondte hue
Is taraf !
uski hasee uski aankhon tak pahuch rahi thi
maine pehli baar phir us din ghehri saans liya.
Maine yaad ko gale lagaya to palke nam ho chali meri.

Meri khushi ko dekh ke woh ekpal tak pujhe dekhti rahi
‘Boli saath hoon mai tumhare hamesha ‘
Lekin yeh bol ke phir un baccho ke peeche daud gayee.
Aur un galiyon mein lukka chhupi ke khel mein kho gayee.

Shaam ko lauti kamre mein to TANHAYEE intezaar kar rahi thi mera
Bas sirf uske pass hi hai waqt mere liye shayad
Maine ussey bataya apne is mulaqat ki dastan
Aur who khamosh ho kar sunti rahi mujhe ……

Chalte jaana hai...

Its been a long time since the blog is updated. And I am kinda velli today. So here I go.

Progress of TB is kinda unstable these days. Some days there are 100 posts n at times people don't post for days :. but atleast it is active so I shouldn't crib about it. Though many random people claim that TB is active because them. Prolly its been days since they have seen a mirror :P..

TB is active only coz of bonding we all share. That reminds me of chemistry classes covalent bond, simple bond n how can I 4get James:P.

Its been a long time now since some of our founder members have gone absconding.

Himani does pop up on gmail prolly she lost her way to TB..
Avradip so immersed in love that he cant see anything else… huh :O
Kandy did post few days back and we are still trying to come out of shock.
Deepu is busy doing a deep research on blondes.

I guess we should sing “Jhalak dikhla jaa” :P
I suggest venky should be given this job. His personality goes well with Himmesh. Please someone lend him a cap.

Enough of crap for now..
Now back to work.. its been quite some time since I have worked.

P.S: i know the title has got nothing to do with d content.. but who cares =)). i cudnt think of anything else..

An Odinary Day!

2007-06-12T23:56:00.000-07:00

I dunno what came over me ..my love for change or a general restlessness ..I got this job offer from Jaipur and I accepted it . something which few months back, before I accepted the offer, would have been totally unacceptable ..even the thought .

I am not made for small town/city ..the slow pace kills me … not that I have a fast pace . on the contrary am too slow ..somewhat a misfit .but I guess it’s the contrast which drives me .
But here I am in a city , rooted in age old customs and traditions ..modern in infrastructure yet not free from superstitions . I don’t want to sound offensive to those who belong to this place but as an outsider and that tooa single women ..this is a hostile place.!

When I started for jaipur I kept my mind blank, keeping no expectations and very deliberately not thinking about anything …trying hard for a positive approach .

My bus reached the stand and before I could get down there were number of auto walas grabbing my bag ..kahan chlana ? idhar ayiee,…. my protest went unheard . I clearly looked an outsider . my bag was taken away , I found myself in auto . “Mansarover chalo” …”kitna loge ?” “100 rupiya(for a distance of 40 max) .. madam yahan itna hi lagta hai” !!deal was done .

.it was getting cloudy .. half way I reached …it started drizzling . I smiled to myself .. March rain .. it had to be this way. Jaipur ..”amber is in ur city ..sky !.. it had to drizzle “
I looked at the city ..my hope started diminishing , good roads , clean in general but it was clearly a small city . typical small shops , 4-5 people gathered around every shop , just gossiping . Women in pallus , people staring in my auto at the signals .. my heart started sinking . I didn’t fall in love with Jaipur in first sight …sigh , all positivism fading fast . .. tmrow will be better …I secretly prayed !

Now its three months and ma here in a rented palce .I live by myself . cooking cleaning and walking to office , TVin free time , STD calls most of the time and movies on weekend . this fills my day . still I have that restlessness . haven’t adjusted .
Life for a single women that too from metro is not easy .. everybody has perception . neighbours keep an eye on you , not that its not there in my place but here u are clearly an outsider .scrutiny is more solid. Paper planes with scribbings, pebbles …loads of them, plastic balls lie on my terrace ..haven’t spotted who is behind it or how many !I come to the terrace only when the city is sleeping .

Irritated and Running late as usual , I hurriedly walk for my office today .. its too hot , so I take a rikhshaw instead . A girl in Capri jeans, more importantly in sunglasses with messy curly hair is a unique feature . I feel hundred of eyes on me as I wait to cross the road . traffic passing by me , whitles ..”aa ja baith jaa” ,(come sit!) …..I ignore . its ritual .
I finally take the rikshaw .. 5 mins ride is a long journey here . two cyclist paddle along with my rikshaw ..same pace . smiles , I ignore , comments ..i ignore ,they come too close for comfort ..finally I look at them ..hard . they slow down !!

I reach office .

Am in lift for my office ..3rd floor ..looks like 70th floor to me . the one across me is bowled out of his mind .. he just spotted a Alien in lift . his lucky starts . he stares and stares . I stare back . My hands itch to hit him right across his cheek ..slapppppppp. I control my carnal instincts :D

Finally am in my safety zone . , work is fun, Music drowns me . its a creative fields , challenge everyday , some production every day .. brainstorming I love it … light hearted fun am completely lost . In between I chat , catch up with friends across the globe, and then its time to leave .

Evening … I walk back .

Cluthing my bag tightly I walk down the main road for my home . I keep looking back to make sure nobody drives past too closely ..hitting me from back.. comments , stares , a slopppy kiss sound from the passing scooterist ..degi kya ? (translation not allowed )I hurl a string of abuses ..he speeds away .i feel good . its all OK .

Touchwood its just another Ordinary day in here . God,save me from extra ordinary . I pray in heart as I hum a tune inside my gates , unlocking my flat .
Tmrow is another day!

hey all...

Hope this new year really rockkksssss for each one of us! Have fun, stay safe!

Much love

Himz!!

I wonder

2006-12-15T01:43:00.000-08:00

I wonder !

Will we ever sit side by side on a sea shore and see the sun go down?
I wonder ..

Running in opposite direction ..will we ever stop by ..and think of each other ..
I wonder ..

Moments today that we savour, will we ever go down this memory lane ..
I wonder ..

Running in the rain ..soaking our body n soul. . will we ever get drenched like this
I wonder ..

Smiling on the song on the radio…will it ever move me this much again
I wonder..

I wonder for the life that we have …
Strangers … ..friends ….. companions …

What name should I give you … or does it even matter ?
I wonder ..

I gather my memories …to pull me though for the rest of the journey.
To find my horizon .. to create new story ..to be a wife, a mother and to live life.

But all this while … a feeling lies ..nudging my heart time n again .
That far far away in a separate sphere.. will u pause ever to think of me again.

I wonder !

Where to Tap!

2006-12-05T20:31:00.000-08:00

Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed?

The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fixthe engine. Then they brought in an old man who hadbeen fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer.

He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars." What!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer ............................$2.00Knowing where to tap ........................ $9998.00

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in our life makes all the difference.

Your part of world...

2006-11-20T02:41:00.000-08:00

This post comes after a long time... Heard this story somewhere...

A man was walking down the beach at sunset. As, he walked along, he saw another man in the distance. He noticed this man kept leaning down, picking up something and throwing it out into the water, again and again. As, he approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach. He was throwing them back into the water, one by one.

Puzzled, he approached the man and said, "Good Evening. I was wondering what you are doing."

"I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If, I don't throw them back into the ocean, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."

"But, there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possible get to all of them. And, don't you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"

The man bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and threw it back into the ocean. With a smile he replied, "Made a difference to that one !!!"

Just remember, no matter how small the deed
it really does makes a difference.
Make a difference today.
Do something nice for someone else.

bas yun hi .

Mai jee rahi hoo dar dar ke
kuch toot raha hai andar se,
mai rokna to chahti hoon
par hath bandhe kyon paati hoon?

khushiyon ki to mehfil hai
phir aankhen kyon bhar aati hain
sab kuch pehle jaisa hai
phir yeh saasein kyon ghut si jaati hai?

patte ke girne ke dard kisko zyada hota hai?
woh patta jisko udna tha ya woh shakh ka muqaddar tha .
sapno ke is saude mein , kisne kitna khoya hai?
kyon ek patte ke girne se , dil mera bhi aaj roya hai?

itna kyon hasti hoon mai ki
rona phir pad jaata hai?
darti hoon kuch paane se ki
aksar khona bhi pad jaata hai.

khamosh sa kamra mera
mujhpe kyon aaj hasta hai
kehta hoon dost hoon tera
phir kyon yeh tanha karta hai?

kisko boloon , poochoon ya ilzaam doon.
mai apne is dard ko ab kiska naam doon.
bhool sakoon un khwabon ko mai,
is kaam ko aur kitni shaam doon ?

gar rok saki mai tootne se to,
ek pal me jee jaongi.
par rokne jo jaati hoon mai
to ..hath bandhe kyon paati hoon?

mai yeh haath bandhe kyon paati hoon ?

Here comes Nothing....

Udaas roohein, gamgeen aakhein, mayoos chehre,

A Sweet Change

2006-10-05T22:20:00.000-07:00

Man, I didn't know that TB Inc. was a flirting community!! Someone great had once said, "Titles can be deceptive". Huh! What's that? Haven't heard that one? Come on ppl that great personality is me. If only I knew it earlier then I would have been an overactive member of TB, but just as spilt milk and broken eggs can never be fixed so is thinking about something that did not occur not going to help; however I'm glad that I'm an active part if the community now.
My Orkut story has been very exciting so far. I've had some great moments on India community. Aaj bhi mera naam India community ka baacha baacha janta hai. Anyway, (coming back to reality) the fun did not last long as communal and religious hatred began to stink up the place. Even after all that I won't be able to forget the good friends that I made there (getting emotional). And then after taking an voluntary retirement from India community, I joined TB. Well, to tell you the truth, I never felt welcome there. I just went there whenever Furry asked me to join in. Part of the reason was that I didn't know anyone there other than Mr.India, Caco(whom I met there once in a while), Amber, Prof. Kandarp..hmm not a long list. And then there is the time difference that made it even worse. Whenever I came in the conversation would be over and everyone would have left by then…poor me! (And someone said that I was the sleeping beauty, huh!). Okay I'll stop being a brooding child. I'm so glad, as a matter of fact, I think its so awesome that the wall of obscurity between us have been broken.
TB has changed, and it has definitely changed for the best. How I love the new and improved TB! At least its new to me, and I'm enjoying every bit of it. I'm damn sure everybody feels the same way as I do, don't you? The meetings and blogs are something I look forward to every week. So, lets keep this going and enjoy every moment we spend here.

My journey

2006-10-05T15:10:00.000-07:00

Few months back, as u all know, India Community was filled with hatred. Everyone was just waiting for a reason to fight. Among so much hatred I found a link to a community called Thread Busters Inc. I immediately joined the community, but I was too shy to post there. Days passed and one fine day ( 13th April 2006) I decided to push in . Amber was at her best. I am sure u must have guessed. Yea, she was busy flirting with Nipun. A series of formal posts, and then I had to leave for college. I found Amber too sweet and bindaas and coming to Nipun, I felt he was a serious person (I still repent over that. Now I feel he is craziest person on TB- soye huve sher ko jaga diya :(). Second time when I came to TB, Amber was again at work- flirting with Amol. Kandarp was also around. And that was the day I got attached to TB. It was so fun that day. Soon Kandarp started showing his bluffing talent. He was bluffing about Ceylan and what not! No one was ready to believe his stories. Poor Kandarp, rather poor us as we had to bear his stories. Soon he realized that, so he stopped telling us bedtime stories which he thought were bravery stories.

And not to forget simultaneously hatred on India Community was at its peak. That was the time when Thread Busters came into action. Our dear friends AK, yusuf, Gunny and many others had so much love for people from other communities which was a boon to Thread Buster Inc. It was like a bollyword scene.." Har ek hatred threads ko TB se ghuzarna padega. Muuhahahahahaaa". TB INC. was a huge success. TB was now the topic of discussion rather than religion. Peace loving people were happy about it while others were saying, "TBians are running away from reality". Reality for Tbians was peace and love, and we were able to achieve it to a great extent.

Coming back to Thread Busters Inc. community, ignoring the part that they used to treat me as a kid, I came across such lovely people. TB always used to be on top. It was active 24x7 as there is no precise time for flirting. Soon Tb was renamed as Thread Busters Matrimonial. Amber and Himani were masters at flirting. They had a loooong flirting list: - Kandarp, Nipun, Amol, Venkat, and Rishi. Priyanka and I learnt a lot from them. I was so inspired by them that I hooked myself to Avradip who claims to be my childhood lover ( coz of my dp). Not to forget about my bros Ajay and Shaminul. Shaminul used to send rochers for me everyday (coz I used to threaten him that, "Yas ko sub karname bata dongi"), but it never reached Kuwait. Deepak, who kept encouraging me with fishing business, and Paul, who wanted me to send him my birth certificate because I don't sound like a 18 year old girl probably, that's the reason why I got the Dadi maa award.

First thing I used to check as soon as I signed into Orkut was TB. I was soo addicted to it. TB is a place where we laugh together, share our problems, and of course, flirt together too. Thanks to Venkat, I learnt Cobol too. How can I forget about ashirward from our subject experts like Venky and Mr. India for cobol, Amol for maths, Kandarp for French (he said something in French before I left for the exam that is when I realized I should have worked harder but it was too late). And crazy Kiran who used to scare me and Priyanka before every exam with his kind thoughts. And one day everything crashed when Orkut was banned at work. It took me few days to come out of that shock. But thanks to gmail, Kandarp, amber and amol used to keep me updated. Sanjay joined tb during those days. Amber and I were really excited to rag him.

Then Nipun came back from hibernation. I still don't know why and where he was hibernating! Our great Nipun came up with great ideas to revamp TB. Operation Black which a operation to wipe off fakies but I found more fakies joining in. He came up with new, and improved ideas for busting too. But it was too late. Orkut was banned in many offices by then. Venky somehow pushed in but he cant post (lolzzz) whereas poor shilpi cant even sign in. Then one fine day Nipun ke demaag me chemical laucha huva and he thought of having Yahoo meet. Thanks to the meet many inactive people popped up which includes Shirin (Our sleeping beauty), Mr. India (Our DJ), Aniroodh (who claims to be my brother; however, that didn't surprise me as every third guy says the same thing. I am confused whether I should be happy about that or not), Avradip (ignoring the part that he runs away in 1/2 an hr saying he wants to have macchli and daru).

Now we even have a blog and group for Thread Busters. So there is no excuse for not staying in touch. Thanks a lot for being such wonderful friends. Always remain the same.

LONG LIVE TB AND OUR FRIENDSHIP TOO!!!

Ameen!!!

Highlights of the Conference

2006-10-01T21:01:00.000-07:00

Finally, we had the best conference of TB so far on 30th September. As usual, Nipun and Furry, patron saints of TB, were on time. Furry just slept for 4 hours. Soon, I joined too.

But Amby and Shilpi came late. They said, they got late because of make up. But the chowkidar Bahadur Ramlalla, of their hostel, while doing a voice-chat with me on Yahoo, told me that on Friday night, they all had Hyderabadi biryani. All of us know, that for a woman, it's difficult to retain four things; gossip, boyfriend, makeup and Biryani. So, you know. In a hostel, with a shared WC, you really can't be on time!

Anirudh, Deepak and Mr. India came late too. However, the reason they gave was that they all had gone for Dandiya. However, after some investigation I got to know that they didn't go for Dandiya, but they are in the process of coming up with indianised Salsa. And they were practising hard for their first public show, due on Christmas. Below given is a demo of some of their group members. I am not sure, whether they are also dancing here...

I know, I know, This isn't enough for you. Look at this too

Ok ok!!!!! Some more!!

Shirin also came late. However, she said that she was using a special, "Prabhu Dewa Arms Exercise" for stretching arms-muscles so that she can type for long hours in the conference without getting tired. Here is a demo of "Prabhu Dewa Arms Exercise". Our investigator couldn't shoot Shirin, so this is a video of her roommate.

Well, these are the minutes of the conference

Nipun has a very "interrogative" voice. He is very curious. But he asks like a police inspector. e.g. "KAISE HO?" "TUM KYA PADH RAHE HO?" "KAHAAN PADH RAHE HO?" "KYON PADH RAHE HO?". The other person, would get totally apologetic by the time, the third question comes up.
Furry has a very sweet voice. She can speak some Hindi too. E.g. "Shirin ko hindi nahi samajhti hai".
Shirin has a very sweet voice. She can also speak some Hindi. E.g. "ok"..............................well, leave it!
Shilpi was speaking to someone on phone time and again. Who was she talking to? Investigation is on! Soon, you will have results.
Amby, hugged everyone. When she hugged me, I realised, in my life how badly I needed a friend, ................................................. and how badly she needed...a deo!!!
We also discovered that Mr.India are two people. One is Mr. and the other is India. Everyday they toss a coin to decide, who is Mr. and who is India!
Nipun hadn't slept at all. Finally, he had to give up and he started sleeping during the conference himself. But, he could still keep typing. However, it was easy to make out when he was sleeping. Because, suddenly his sentences started making sense!
Shirin was in Deepak's friend list once upon a time. What events led to her removal from that friend list? It's still a mystery.
Everytime, somebody got disconnected, it was difficult to invite the same person back to the conference. We had to start a new conference. In this process we started 57 conferences in 6 hours. Furry topped the chart with 39 conferences, followed by Nipun with 13, yours truly 4 and Shirin with 1. Amby also started one conference, but that was 24 hours after the conference when nobody was online!
There was a Singing competition too. Which I won, because nobody else contested. I won uncontested, just like Sharad Pawar in BCCI elections. My belly is not the only thing, that resembles Sharad Pawar.
Amby and Deepak had an hour long conversation. However, only after 59 minutes they realised that amby had no speakers so couldn't listen to what Deepak was saying and Deepak wasn't reading what she was typing!
The best moment of the conference came when, Anirudh asked through Voice message "How many of you don't have speakers?". Reminded me of a teacher, who used to ask in her class, "How many of you are absent today?".

If I have missed something, please Add.....

Adios

The Biggest "Thread Buster"

2006-10-01T20:58:00.000-07:00

Well, i think, the right way to Start this blog is by defining what is thread busting. At Orkut, Thread busting, means busting a thread of nuisance and hatred. However, thread busting isn’t just playing mischiefs. Thread busting is a phenomenon. Thread busting is a culture. It’s not new. Time and again, when there has been “threads” of nuisance, torture, discrimination, hatred and enmity on this earth, “Thread Busters” have arrived and busted all the threads.

Let’s salute the biggest Thread Buster of all times.

Today is his birthday. When our nation was on the verge losing its identity; he arrived, and busted not just “threads” but all the "shackles" of British empire.

Mahatma Gandhi. Thanks a lot. For letting all of us experience, freedom and democracy.
