bas mai aur meri tanhai,

aksar socha karte hai ,

Je yaar ki dikhe parchai

hum bas roya karte hai

beete waqt ki hasaiyan

te yaad dilaye judaiyan

un yaado ke aaye aasu

hum bas pocha karte hai

bas mai aur meri parchai

aksar socha karte hai

kabhi khush the har lamhe

kabhi hasi the woh nagme

ab sama-e-judai mai

hum tasveero ko piroya karte hai

bas mai aur meri tanhai

aksar socha karte hai

tamanna thi saath jeene ki

aarzoo thi amrat peene ki

ab gum ke hi zahar se

hum dil-e-zameen ko seencha karte hai

bas mai aur meri tanhai

aksar socha karte hai ...

sanjoye hue kwabo ke

parinde aaj rava hue

badlo ke sayo se

sitare hai khoye hue

us chand ko tod lane ke

hum kalpana banaye karte hai

bas mai aur meri tanhai

aksar socha karte hai …

samjhate hai hum , dil-e-pagal ko baar

nadan hai wah, uska tu hi bas sansaar

bade mushkilo jatan ke baad

hum use tujhse juda rakhte hai

bas mai aur meri tanhai

aksar socha karte hai

din-e-ujalo mai chaye andhera

andhere mai dikhe chand

khoye hue ki talaash

hum bebas hi kiya karte hai

bas mai aur meri tanhai

aksar socha karte hai

chattan-e-dil mai lagi jo aag

hua baraf bhi aaj raakh

shaant se is toofan ko

hum hass ke alvida kiya karte hai

bas mai aur meri tanhai

aksar socha karte hai …

Je yaar ki dikhe parchai

hum bas roya karte hai…

Bas mai aur meri tanhai…

Suicide or Murder

A food for thought.
Should a suicide forced on someone be termed an act of murder. Many people in India die or rather kill themselves, but certainly as the Law of the Almighty dictates no being shall ever wish to end thou life. But people do, sane human beings, supposedly the most intelligent species on earth.
I read an article the other day of the famous footballer, German goalkeeper, Robert Enke.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8354979.stm

Now a successful man like him could have all he could have wished in life, but could not sustain the pressure. Is this not murder, a cruel criminal deed to force someone to end his own life ?
As for the definition part Wiki defines suicide as - Suicide (Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, to kill oneself) is the intentional killing of one's self.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide).
But this definition excludes the drive for the intention. If intention is serious irrecoverable medical ailment and a medical suicide the result, it is fairly acceptable.
But what about the case when someone torchers a person beyond extent and force him/her to intend to die.
Murder, as defined in common law countries, is the unlawful killing of another human being with intent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder). Again the same question arises. Can murder not be done unknowingly. If a person pesters someone to the extent that the other person commits the sad act, I would still like to include it in the definition of murder, though it did not intend to be killing the other person.

The debate is on. May the soul of Robert Enke find peace.

Literacy – definition defined

about:blank

Just thinking back what the word literate has to signify – the ability to read and write as was taught in our pre-nursery classes or something. Just ponder over and try to analyse this definition.

Okay, I seem to eating off your head so lets start from scratch. READ and WRITE but what? Seems so trivial a question but beneath lies the precise point I am trying to make here. Read and write a language like English – few may answer. Think again !!!

Are you above trying to say I am illiterate in say, German. How dare you call me illiterate man, I am b****y 23 and almost half MBA !!! But yes the definition makes me illiterate.

What about the so called illiterate population, say the tribals. Can you read and write their language, forget read and write, can you even claim to understand all their gestures. Going again by the definition from their perspective even we people are illiterate and they and more knowledgeable than us – YES coz they can read and write their language.

Go more deep. There are so many signs, symbols, signals used in nature to each convey some meaning. Am I in a position to decipher even a percent of it. the answer is plain NO. How can I than claim myself to be literate and consider this as something good.

What am I still trying to say ?

Just that if we break the bounds of man made superiorities and go beneath nothing in this world can be considered inferior. It all depends on the perspective and the situation we are in. If I land up in some jungles of SA, I would be an illiterate their and I have to learn and understand their language, their customs, their behaviour.

Some may argue that their are people who know not even a single language whatsoever are they also not illiterate, I say YES. They are supposedly more genius then others that they do not need a tool like words to express themselves. Coz at the end of the day

NOT EVERYTHING CAN BE EXPRESSED IN WORDS.

The stigma of melodarmatic uncertainity 

May no longer survive - fears sanity 

Up the bubble rises, to receive the blow

The tide of life osces high and low 

The concept of "crucial" seems so ironic

Wings of butterfly create an effect phenomic

In decisions of seconds you so deeply dive

Sometimes you forget, you have a whole life

Break the chain - for freedom beckons 

Why do you bother of pros and cons

Forget the train, go drive your kart

For just once- can you not follow your heart

Spread the wings, challenge the winds

Up you rise and high you'll soar

No albatross carriers, no mighty barriers

Break free off stigma, and let the roar

The above piece of jumbled words is not just a permutation with constraints of rhyme and rhythm, nor is it only a meagre emotional expression. Its a thought quoted and an argument encrypted. 

We are all so happy when the so called luck favors us. All so correct and surprisingly logical when things are in place. All good results seem to be as an harvest of your hardwork and toil. And when the tables turn, its luck. We seem to be thinking that we have been all correct and its the luck thats pushing us on backseat. We develop a feeling that all's so uncertain and start bothering of the immediate future. For small things we think so deeply. Spend millions of seconds for something which could have been decided almost promptly. We start laying emphasis on the miutest of details, and push ourselves deeper. Just not realising that its a multitplying effect. The more we think, the more we get involved( read confused) , the more importance we give to the matter at hand and the more we think and ....... and then we grow just to pass this self created tension through all sorts of weirdo treatments. 

I think at times, that is the world really that complex or its just the maturity that we have gained. Can we leave behind all our confusions, roam like a free butterfly. Can we ever break this schedule bound life where each train has its fixed time and route. Can we make this life our kart ring and drive our own way. Can we follow our heart for once and make ourselves happy. Its time we realise ourselves, the purpose we are here, the ultimate we want to achieve. The basic and the ground level effect that is required from our tasks. Its then that we can feel that in the BIG game of life its important to play long but remain safe and sound mentally and physically. Worry but not over-worry and give our dreams some freedom to at least explore the possibilites. We need to get ourselves out of the chains of life that restrict us to enjoy the beautiful gift of life and lets flow freely in the stream of love and joy ....

Crap life

khoya hai chand kyun badlon ke peeche
ki meri zindaggi mai andhera cha raha hai
koi anjana sa taaar mujhe pashopesh mai kheenche
ki mujhe na aadi na ant nazar aa raha hai

lubhati thi mujhko hamesha baharo ki khushbu
aaj koi baag na nazar aa raha hai
Tha mera saya us ek sahare ke rubaru
aaj uska saath mujhse door jaa raha hai

khoya hun tanha is soone registaan mai
ki ye ret ka teela jaane kahan ja raha hai
akela hunn pareshan is kaaton ke maiddan mai
dil se nikala ye khoon jane kahan baha ja raha hai

bahata tha jahaj ye, leharo pe seena taan ke
jaane kyun aaj mera mann daldal mai dhansa ja raha hai
jeeta tha ye jahan apni kalpana ke gyan se
aaj bhavnao ka ye panchi pinjare mai fansa ja raha hai

khata kuch hamse hui ki zindagi humse khafa hui
ki glani ka ye dard ab is dil ko sata raha hai
gum ka badal kuch is tarah chaya, ki khushi sama se lapata hui
karah raha hai is kadar ye dil, ki ghav bahar bhi nazar aa raha hai

A cricket match on the Bizarre World

I know you were all waiting for another weird thing to come up here, so here I am with another Bizarre event. I had a match yesterday and I thought I should share the experience with you.
Here it goes …. And yes if you get bored on the way please read the annexure at the end , I assure you that will make the progress through the article interesting and you’ll get the fathom of it. And for all the witty (in positive sense though I know it has none) read on and enjoy

So , I played this qualifying match in one of the series yesterday. This is a typical series of this Bizarre world where all teams bat against the same standard bowling team. The bowlers are same for all the teams and they bowl with the same efficiency and style and all what it takes for bowling. The only flexibility each team has is , which bowler to choose in what order , the no of bowls to be played of him and the time one can use on each bowler. And like in a test match you have limited time and so a slow over rate means less bowls to be played ,same here, each team was given a limited 2 hr time and we had to maximize our score.

My Match

I started with a spell from spinner, the reason I chose this to start was his fast over rate so that I could save time for coming bowlers and play maximum bowls in limited time. But !@#!$#@% what a shock !!!! I had absolutely no clue about the balls, they turned in all directions , they were pitching in the danger area and my GOD !!! I was forced to play some risky shots. I don’t know what was the result because the most amazing part of the game is you don’t get your performance report or the result of the shot when you play it . you get the whole report in a SINGLE SHOT.(the game is in bizarre world so anything and everything is possible). So guys fingers crossed . By the way I played shots on some 15 deliveries in 7 minutes on this bowler.

Next came the first medium pacer. Now why a medium pacer at 2nd number, coz I thought they would take relatively lesser time per over , compared to a pacer and so I attempted max over of this medium pacer , but I lost track of time and so attempt less ahead. On this medium pacer I was confident, and I played 36 out of max 40 and I hope 30 of them should fetch me runs.

Next came the 2nd medium pacer. He was also very easy to play and most important reason I attempted all possible deliveries of him was that runs scored on him would add doubled to the score. Counting this it should fetch me at least 50 runs. But now I had got too late to score most off the seemers though that is my strength . any ways I attempted some 15 deliveries and seems that should increase my score by 15 runs.

On the whole it was a satisfactory experience and I hope to get a score of around 80-100. lets see what turns up when the results are out and how did other teams perform.
