It's a new world, It's a new start

I post after close to 2 years.

Yes. 2 long years. 2 hard years.

Within that I have changed jobs - twice, changed my city of residence, changed my career - twice, and changed myself.

The hectic and almost inhumanly stupid sales at Nokia led me come to a career in education in Bhubaneswar, Odisha at KIIT School of Management. I do hope this is my last career change.


I hope to post much more frequently now.

Why India Lost the match today

India lost today's match because of two reasons:

1. Gavaskar came on commentary in the 46th Over when Sri Lanka neede 35 off 30 and had 4 wickets in hand. Next over 12 runs. I knew it was coming.

2. Zaheer Khan and Veeru are sorely missing Robin Singh and want him back. Fielding in the crunch was never sloppier.

कल की आशा

कल की आशा
----------------------------

कल फिर धूप झांकेगी खिड़की से |
कल फिर सुबह सुनेहरी होगी |
कल फिर चिड़ियाँ बोलेंगी पेड़ की डाली से |
कल फिर बाग में गिलहरी होगी |

हैं आज तो बादल आसमान पर |
है आज तो बाग बिखरी हुई |
है आज तो स्यह पर्दा सूरज पर |
हैं आज तो डालीयाँ उजड़ी हुई |
हूं आज मैं बेवश और शर्मिन्दा हूं |
पर कल कि आश मैं ज़िन्दा हूं |

बिखरे हैं घर आज बिखरी जज़बातें हैं |
बिखरे हैं जान आज बिखरी उम्मीदें हैं |
बिखरे हैं मान आज बिखरी हर बातें हैं |
बिखरे हैं भविष्य आज बिखरी आशयें हैं |
पर कल समेटने की आशा है मुझमें |
फिर कल बटोरके बनाने का विश्वास है मुझमें |

कल फिर बाग में गिलहरीयां खेलेंगी |
कल फिर चिड़ियाँ गायेंगी पेड़ों की डालीयों से |
कल फिर सुबहें सुनेहरी होंगी |
कल फिर धूप झांकेगी खिड़कीयों से |



Penned by me on the 10th of July 2008 while trying to go from Balasore to Kharagpur to go to Kolkata to catch the train to Patna to attend Swapnil's wedding.

Thanks go to Hindi Kalam. You should check this out. Great website to write in Devanagari. It is very flexible and unlike other transliteration type pads gives a complete map of the keys.

Edit Note: The poem is not about me or my life...it's about the flood affected areas in Balasore.
