Mehdi Hassan Unlimited

One very loveley and very famous gazal by the mastero called Mehdi Hasan is "Ab Ke Hum Bichde".

The gazal is just perfect. There is nothing more that can be added from this. Just perfect to render and perfectly rendered.


Ab ke hum bichde to shayad kabhi khwabon mein mile
jis tarah sookhe huye phool kitabon mein mile

dundh ujde huye logo mein wafa ke moti
yeh khazane tujhe mumkin hai kharabon mein mile

tu khuda hai naa mera ishq farishton jaisa
dono insaan hai to kyon itne hijaaboo se mile

game duniya bhi game yaar mein shamil kar lo
nasha badta hai sharaabein jab sharaboo mein mile

the shayaran side of life

Well this was relly inspired by Tokas who keeps sending me shero-shyari and poetry. So I thought why not as per his instructions add some shayri to my blog.

There is a this very gazal I had heard some years back. I can't remember who did this originally but I fouund a variant by some unknown singer here.

The lyrics are really good. And I shall quote them here as well.



Woh chandani ka badan, kushbuoon ka saaya hai|
Bahut azeez hume hai magar, paraya hai||

Utar bhi aao kabhi, aasman ke jeene se|
Khuda ne tumhe, humare liye banaya hai||

Use kisi ki mohabbat ka aitbaar nahi|
use jamaane ne shayad bahut sataya hai||

mehek rahi hai jameeen chandani ke poolon se|
khuda kisi ke muhabbat pe muskuraya hai||

SENTOSA the island ..REVISITED

Hey I like this life...this thing can't get over me. Life is beautiful when u have company n money to spent..Without money nothing is beautiful
The island of SENTOSA is really amazing.
Spent the whole day on the beach n almost half the nite as well came back on the wee morning hours only...
started with boozin a bit and this time I had a lesson, I drank just enuf not more not less ..n then had a gala lunch indian food..moved towards the beach for a swim...a decent swim all alone on a beach..that was good..
n then back some card games..
again a basketball game though I was basking in the sum.. n then a beautiful sunset one really worth watching with u r beloved ones..it was amazing
next was a splash in water again with all the people and the ball..it was great i njoyed it really well....
Came back went to the musical fountain and laser show...oh what a beautiful thing it was...amazing I can't describe it in words..u come to SINGAPORE must c it..at all costs..the dream world was really fantasy land.
Then the burgers at burger king and the monorail's bumpy ride...it was a nice scene on the platform all running for the train madly n especially when it was supposed to stop for a decent time :D...we all were running from here n there :-P
Came back 2 see some live bands playing some musik on the next beach..some kewl songs live.. some more beers...
then another chito chat session on the sand..i liked it all
came back at around 3 am n...

THIS IS A WEEK OF CELEBRATIONS!!

EID WITH SHOAIB WAS AS MEMORABLE
WHAT A GALA LUNCH THEY HAD HOSTED THAT I COULD NOT EVEN THINK OF DINNER AFTER HAVING IT..THE FOOD WAS SO TEMPTING THAT I CAN"T REMEMBER HOW MUCH WENT IN.

BTW We have moved to our new house, though now at present i dun have the money to but even the swimming trunks to go to the swimming pool..:D
u c one of two things shorter in life is the fun

The only bad thing abt the SENTOSA trip is ankita's injured leg. I just hope its just a minor injury n not a major problem...:D

Shall upload snaps as I collect them from people...i dun have a camera here to blog the snaps today...

new place new woes..lessons from life

I still remember, my dad saying to me "Son life is the biggest classroom and u just can't walk out of it..N life's lessons are for all". Today another such lession was taught by life.

Out in Singapore with my just out of college attitude I was searching for a house with my friends. Nops thats not right, in fact they were searching for a house and I was with them. And then just before we were about to sign the agreement, I just asked the brokers(two of them, one who represented us and the other one who represented the owner) what if we have to leave the place beofre the sipulated time..and to my shock it was totally different from what we had thought about it. We were supposed to pay 9 months rent watever months we stayed and that was strange. Especially when I knew that we were sure about is 6 months in Singapore. That was a shock. We even knew there is a contract here which allows u to loose ur deposit if u break the contract.
And we paid some SGD $900 for the house..and I consider them as bad debts.
And we just walked out safely of what could had been a worst thing to end out stay here.

Lots of things happenned in between phone calls to bosses n their bosses and lots of discussions, and then what ended the day was a bad impressions of ours about the uncertanity and the employer of ours. But thats the truth the plane truth and thats what it is.
But today when I think about it. Am happy I was happy n I talked and I know cause i talked...and its not that the company is bad..u c how can somebody gurantee u something..when even they are not very sure about it..simple.thats what business is and risk.but right said my manager..a software engineer's life is like the life of a nomad..u go where the pasteurs are greener..on and off site..and thats what life is.

Lesson is do all that you can and do it urself if u can.

This morning we have paid a deposit for a house in Bukit Panjang 3+1 Apartment as they say in Singapore. And to be very frank its going to be the best house I have ever stayed in. Swimmin pools, BBQ, air con in all rooms, 3 baths and huge..fully furnished..some luxary in life is not a bad idea at all

wow What do u do....

Sometimes strange things happen...some of those are really strange to think and talk about..and when u feel like speaking up about some of the things u want to talk loud about u have no other but on option to keep churning all the crap and the shit about everything else..all but not speaking up about what u want to talk about.
U have some issue..u talk and u talk but u can't just talk what u wanna talk about..one of my closest frn told me that u gotta trust someone..when u wanna speak out..coz u can't live like this..but just can't get used to the idea..i try hard..to forget no to talk..i don't wanna feel..i wanna talk but i just can't..thats bad..thats the truth..all but hundered percent truth that I can't tell whats wrong...
ALL THIS CRAP SPEAKING ABOUT WHAT U WANNA TALK ALL BUT NOT WHAT U WANNA SPEAK...
Am expression less am typing this time beacuse i just want to ..speak aloud......HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....
HURRRRRRRRRRRRR......HUHHHHHHHH...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....can u hear what i speak...if u can u r not the one and if u can't ur urself.....:D

SENTOSA New Year : BEER FRNS BEACH SAND BIKINIS

.

hey this is just one of the snap
the guy in the orange is meee and what u r looking at was some chinki singing one of the two good songs..i could not resist headbanging to....this was a good time and it was a nice new year eve when the new year came before it really came :D

FREE MUSIK or FREE BEER

which one is better..people ask each other so many times.

My vote goes for free musik and in my little perfect shangri-la i would like to take along the softwares (for free obvioulsy) and I would love to pay for my BEERS. Now somebody can say where does this conversation pop from, all of a sudden but every thing I blog is a reflection of whats going on in my life at the time I blogged.
Found a beautiful web-site which allows you to dolwnload music for free, its not that this is for the first time that I was downloading the music but this one is good cause it was a small trick, a smart browser and a small tweaking and now I have loaads of my fav music. Though I prefer to listen to music online..this ain't too bad if I copy the same to a player :-P. But as they say everfy rose has a thorn this one comes with poor quality, only 24kbps...still something is better than nothing.

myMood:Today was not a bad day :-P

BLACKOUT.....another one

it was the perfect recipy..but what ended the party was a BLACKOUT.
Shoiab and ankita invited people to their apartment in Dover Rise for a barbeque party.
Pool side bbq party was seomething really a gud idea and i wanted to be in one since i had heard about it....not many people were there and it was an official gathering...it was called the DP-03 party(the module that was just released..purchase orders being the major part of the project).

Everything was going fine till the time boozing started. There were a few beers i knew about and then there was some whsky bottles that popped up. And then I Remember standing and working around the chicken on the BBQ. I was sipping some very good smooth scotch i didn't know wha it was ..people say it was black label..johny walker..who cares for the name but it was smooth and the problem with smooth whisky is you don't know when it will hit u. Is at down with the Ashwani Surendra Aashish group and then the cocktails started that was the time i remeber something was happening. Next thing I remember is i woke up in the morning. In between there was vatsa ..telling me vaibhav am alone and we need to do this and that.

In the morning I realized that I had left my bag and sandals at the party grund only. And I don't recall anything that happened..thats wat I call a black out. I still have a bad hangover, its very heavy have tried black coffee nothing works...bad. Watza is telling me last nite I had beers after finishing the whisky and wine. And it was Aashish who was puring more and more for me. And then he handed over more beers to me. I don't know why this affinity, okay we are from same place dehradun and luckily or unluckily from IIT Kanpur..but this guy did beat the shit out of me..i am a boozer and he poured until he could no more...I have lost one evening of my memories.

Just went to CITY HALL and funan it mall earlier in the day. There is only one regret when i walk in one of those malls..y are there so many things to buy and why I can't buy what i wanna buy. Apple's MAC is a treat for eyes..and wat do u say about the G4 notebook..i shall envy those all my life beacuse i can't buy a MAC. The nest thing i liked so much that am planning to spend one grand is a player from iRiver. I don't know what it is called but it was all a techie like me would know is a big competitor to apple's iPod. It was about the size of ur palm and it was like a mp3 wmv player with capability to play the divx mpeg4 xvid files as well. U can plug the same to ur TV and u can connect it to ur home entertainment system. There was an inbuilt 2.5inch coloured screen to watch them and the memory was 40GB. I think am going to buy that thing.
Oncemore in my life,I have realized that there are somethings in life which money can't buy and for everything else my salary ain't enough.

Singapore Blues

Every city in the world isn't equally good and now i have realised that Singapore has its own share of problems. Finding a house is so difficult in Singapore that it has left me and a couple of my friends not only frustrated but losing quiet a hefty sum to the hotel and at the end of it we are living on the terms and conditions of some one else, till we find a house. The guy we are staying with ain't bad but we can't stay with someone for long.
New year party was great. Went to the islan resort of SENTOSA and it was the longest party I had ever been to. Cam eback at 5 am in the morning. Lots of beer, chinki music..thought they also played NIRVANA and GnR for a while, sea, sand and bikini's...not to forget the beers. Njoyed it and the next day was spent sleeping......

The office in Singapore is small but very high on efficiency. I liked the feeling of workign with Shoaib and Ankita. Its even better than working with Rahul. When somebody like one of them is around you don't fear taking up jobs which are complex to do otherwise. I think its nice to be heard and valued. Feels lke you are working at home.
I sometimes feels as if its a family project we are doing. People ask me when am I leaving vMoksha coz they are not paying great. All I know is as long as the RBS is here am here and as long as shoaib and people like rahul think am of some use, I think its a novel idea to stay. I know money is important but its the mean and not the end. If i work well I know the appraisal would follow..so no plans to change the company for now.

myTune: Not much of music until I buy a jukebox or a iPod...am bored in Singapore
myMood: am happy Purchase Order completed
justOneLine: when the hell would this purchase order module finish.when do we shift to our house.
