Remove from Friends

It was a good, eventful day today. Had a great project orientation for my students and later had positive conversation in my past college where I did my graduation, regarding my association as visiting faculty there. During the day I finalized a deal for the furnishing of my office for my new venture. I was in a good mood. In the evening, some silly comments from one of my facebook connections did break my heart. Seriously, I was not expecting that the person I am referring to, will have so mean sense of perception and complete confidence on his tunnel vision. I instantly removed the facebook connection. I don’t know if this was right or wrong to remove, with the option to hide that connection was available. But I could not tolerate the statements that were deviated and out of context. Justifying things to that connection was like banging your head on the wall. When logic fails, you can do nothing. I am feeling pity, not for what the connection has done to our relation, but for what h...

Tamanna

Tumhari muskurahato par fida hona, Tumhari julfo me apni parchayee dhodna, Tumhari nigaho ki gehrai me doobna, Tumhari hoton ki khamosi ko sunna, Tumhari dhadkano ko mehsoos karna, Tumhari adaawo par jaanisaar hona, Tumhari taarif apne dil ko sunana, Tumhari yadon ko bhulane ka asafal prayaas karna, Tumhari khubsurati ko alag hi andaaz me bayan karne ki tamanna, Tumse har waqt na sahi tumhari tasveer se hi baate karne ki tamanna...

Dhadkan se Guftagu

Meri dhadkano se gujarish ki maine... Apni raftaar ko kam kyo kar rahe ho mere yaar...? Main jine ki kosis kar raha hoo... Par tum khud ko mujhse door karne ki kosis kyo kar rahe ho mere yaar..? Mere dil ne mujhe jawaab diya... Dhadkan tumhari kisi aur ke dil me dhadak rahi hai mere yaar...| Dhadakna chahata hoon tumhare hi dil me... Par tum us dil me meri bhi dhadkan doondne ki kosis kyon nahi karte mere yaar.. (Found out this, when I searched my archive for some stale post to my these days rarely updated blog. Dated Feb, 2006)

Nice One: Iktara Male Version

I liked this song very much. I was unaware of this Male Version  (courtesy: Karan Johar on Twitter) (Sung By: Tochi Raina) Torrent here  (As on April 26, 2010 ). Hope u have heard the  Female Version  (Sung By: Kavita Seth). Only heard the male version today. I am posting the lyrics and the song links (See above). I am sure you will like this, and if you have heard it before you must have liked it. Lyrics courtesy with a nicely attempted Urban Translation from:  spinningawheel ------------------------------ -------------- Rooh ka banjara re parinda  Chhad gaya dil ka re gharonda  Chhad gaya dil ka re gharonda todke  Re gharonda todke, gaya chhodke (rooh = spirit, self or seat of intellect, banjara= nomad, parinda = pigeon, free rebel bird) Its the free spirit (in me) that is soaring, flying out like a bird, escaping from my heart, which (once) used to be its abode…..breaking the shackles that held it within….(as we talk), the spirit is a...

Typo Anecdotes

"This post warrant that you are 18 years of age or older" You greet someone with a "Hello", You miss an ‘O’, And you are cursing them to hell. @ The other end:: MUTE : YOU GO TO HELL!! Someone is sick, you say "Get Well Soon", You miss an ‘O’, And you become the father. @ The other end:: MUTE : AS IF YOU ARE, YOU MOTHERF***ER!! You wanna wish someone "Good Luck", And the left index replaces the key press of right ring finger, And you end up being offensive. @ The other end:: MUTE : THAT WOULD BE NICE, BUT WITH WHOM?

How Phewa Lake Originated? - A Legend

Image
Once upon a time there was a village called ' Panchaase ', where there lived two gods. They were  Bhayer  and  Barah . Both of them were the most respected and well-preached gods of that place. One day both these gods were unable to control their instinct of explicit proud and started arguing, who is of more importance and of more value to the people? Then what they decided was really the turning point in the story of creation of Lake Phewa . Both had a solution to this argument, which said that the one who wins the fight of power would be declared as the winner and hence mightier of the two. After this they started to fight with all the might and power they had. The fight lasted for long years and after a tiresome struggle the god Bhayer   out powered the god  Barah . After this shameful defeat the god Barah felt insulted to stay in that place and thought of emigrating to some another place. He shifted to a place called ‘ Mathum ’ which is the origination plac...

Domestic Airport to Home – Via International Airport

This is an atypical incident that happened to my wife two weeks before. She landed at the domestic airport in Kathmandu, after attending the marriage ceremony of one of her closest dear friend at Pokhara. On the same plane was an Indian lady. After they landed, the lady asked my wife about where the International Airport is, when they were at the baggage reception area. To this my wife said, “ It’s nearby, you can walk and I can help you reach there as I am also taking the same route ”. The lady started walking with my wife. Both were not accompanied by heavy baggage, an exception when it comes to females. After a while they were out to the taxi stand, and my wife thought of walking to the ring road, about 400 meters from the domestic airport. The reason for the walk is that you can take a cheaper exit (only Rs 10 in the city bus) after you reach the city traffic, which otherwise costs you not less than Rs 300 to reach home. Prior to walking on her own she thought of guiding the ...

The Tunnel, The Train, The Rucksack Full of Responsibilities, The TITAN and The Alarm

I saw a light at the end of a tunnel. A long one. I was hoping, just hoping it was not a train. But I was sure hopes will not keep me alive. It was on the rail tracks I was walking, and you do not find subways in the tunnel to dodge the speeding train. I don’t know what made me walk without alternatives in this narrow tunnel. I do not bother to bother. I thought to run for LIFE. But what is the point now? I had started to find LIFE, a long time before. But always in vain. What I always met was an interesting creature that portrayed itself as LIFE and was full of gossip. I always believed the falsity of this mocker. I was sure it was not the real LIFE.  Then, a fight started. A duel between two parts of my inner self. One was advocating “Don’t die before you meet LIFE”. The other said “Bull shit – Bloody Philosophy… Just Run!!” I thought both are at each other's throats for the same cause, to live. The former seemed a bit more possessive about meeting LIFE. The echoes of my inner c...

FB Super Heroes Status Updates

Image
After about two weeks when females started an interesting campaign by stating their bra color in their FB status , which was thought of as a campaign for growing breast cancer awareness, now it’s been noticed that male FB users are up to something. Tracking the pattern, they are updating the status with the names of Comic Super Heroes. The real reason is not disclosed yet and the source of origin remains unknown as was the case with FB bra color status updates . Is it that, there is some kind of Super Hero Meet happening soon? Or is this a cause for supporting Haiti? Who is behind all this? What is the motif? Who earns or get popularity remains a question unanswered. Whatever, it seems that boys are enjoying updating their status. Many seem confident updating their status, some “ go with the cro wd ” kind, and some making it real funny. Some are adding a list of super heroes to their status, some adding a single name. Some status seems telling the secrets but when ...

Basanta Panchami - Knowledge for All and Always

Image
Hinduism is one of the many religions which have immense impact on how people practice their existence.  Faith in gods and goddesses is the key to believing in one’s self. It is a matter of fact that the count of deities in Hinduism is numerous, and hence the numbers of worship rituals are also in abundance. One of the many is  Basanta Panchami  (or  Shree Panchami  ), which falls on 20 January 2010 this year. This is the special day when people worship goddess Saraswati, the goddess of learning and wisdom. It is the special fifth day in the waxing moon period ( Shukla Paksha Panchami ), the fortnight of the lunar month of Maagh. This day is marked as the beginning of the spring season as the name implies, Basanta meaning spring. Goddess Saraswati, the consort of Lord Brahma  ( Lord of Creation ), is the one who gives the essence ( sara ) of our own self ( swa ) as her name implies. In entirety, she is considered as the personification of all knowledge -...

Maaghe Sankranti - A Nepali Festival

Image
Maaghe Sankranti  (or  Sakrati ) is a Nepali festival, similar to solstice festivals in many other traditions is observed every year on the first day of the month of  Maagh . The month of Maagh usually starts during mid January and ends in mid February. This festival takes place around 21 days after the tropical winter solstice (between December 20 and 23) that marks the starting of  Uttarayana , which means northward journey of Sun and this year it falls on 15 January 2010. This day is also considered as the coldest of the season (may not be in reality though), signifying longer and warmer days ahead. It also brings end the month of  Poush , the month prior to Maagh, where most of the holy ceremonies are forbidden for many trivial and unreasoned religious grounds. This festival is also called  Maaghi Parva  and  Makar Sankranti  amongst many other. Maaghi Parva implies a festival in the month of Maagh, where Parva relates to festival, is t...

Facebook Color Status – Fun or a Real Campaign

Image
One of the popular social networking website, Facebook (FB) has gone colorful. Syllables speaking single word or phrases are representing color. Since the afternoon of 8th January 2010, a trend is seen where females are updating their FB status with the color of their bra like  Pink  or  Black  and  White Polka dots or  Beige  and so on. Many were in fact puzzled status updates. And the majority does not have any idea about the  Pink Ribbon  as well. Is the bra color FB status a conspiracy to make Facebook hotter?  Facebook status colors have already become a hot search on the net. Or is there something absurd and specious going on? A rumor is on air that it is a way to raise awareness for breast cancer. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today. Interestingly, breast cancer is about 100 times more common in women than in men, but survival rates are equal in both sexes. It is the month of...

Sir Isaac Newton’s Google Doodle

The Google Doodle for Sir Isaac Newton is the first animated doodle I have seen. When you load the Google home page you will see an Apple tree over Google ’s logo, after a second or so, one of the Apple’s drop from the tree. The logo is also missing an “o” from it. This is to remember Sir Issac Newton and his famous gravitational theory on his birthday. Sir Isaac Newton born on 4 January 1643 was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian.
