Random Ramblings

This is a song by Silk Route, and I have been listening to this in infinite loop since few hours now. (Actually I never heard this song earlier. Heard it first during a performance by Silk Route in our insti recently!!!) The tune is nice, but the best part are the lyrics. Some of them do fill me with a mixture of self-consolation, self- pity, and just a smile with few questions in the eyes !!! Among many lines, I especially love - " itney bure bhi hum nahi…" and " duniya ki is bheed me...Sabse peeche hum khade " In long run, this may probably not end up being considered as a great song, but maybe it will be a cult song in future ... or maybe it is a cult song even now! _______ Lyrics of the song (copy pasted from after google search) " Zaara naazar uthake dekho Baithe hai hum yahi Bekhabar mujhse kyon ho? Itne boore bhi hum nahin Zamane ki baaton mein uljho na Hai yeh aasaan janana Khud se jo agar tum pooch Hai hum tumhare ke nahi Teri aankhon ka jaadu Poor...

"Isn't it strange that in hope of a better future, the present is often screwed, and this continues even when the future has become present ... and in the end when we look back, we often realize that we have lived only in hope of a better future, and it never really translated into a good present"

"Events in life are not governed by a normal curve, nor are they by an exponential or any other exotic probability function. They are in fact, just an output of some random number generator." No matter what likes of Stephen Covey or anyone says or philosophize about life, we cannot undermine the impact of things over which we don't have much control, on our lives. Yeah, It is about the decisions and actions we take but they may be just one of the many many inputs, and one of the extremely few over which we have some control. What say ?

He was bored. It was last term of his MBA. Placements were still at least a month and a half away. Number of subjects in this term were very few. He sat at the local canteen nibbling a samosa and leisurely chatting with a friend who was apparently having a hot cup of coffee, but had actually become cold coffee in last 25 minutes. He was not so bored, and wished that his bored friend becomes not so bored. "Why are you so bored" "I have nothing to do" "Nahi yaar. Kuch to hoga? Classes" "Yeah. I have one at 3: 30 PM" "What you'll do till then. Still 4 hours to go" "Dunno" "Have you read the Harsha Bhogle Article on India's tour of Down under? Those cheater Aussies" "Yeah. I read it on internet yesterday. Seriously ... Too much hai yaar ... But seems that notheing else is happening int he universe in last 2 days ... hadh hai " "No. A different one came in today's newspaper" "I haven...

Much has been talked and written about the Indian tour of Australia, of double standards, of sportsman spirit, of 'integrity' or absolute lack of it, of the extent a team can go to dominate, of the yardsticks used to evaluate 'our team and 'their team'. And it feels bad that Indian team has been at the receiving end of all these. Yes. There have been other teams at the receiving end in the past, if not to this extent. It has been a height of double standards by the Australians coupled with incompetent and probably highly biased umpiring. It makes me feel that "All teams are equal but some teams are more equal than others" Like many others, I usually accept that errors are part and parcel of the game, and criticize them, but usually like to take that in stride and not make a fuss of it. But there are times when these 'errors' are not actually 'errors' but something much more and may probably make us question the very basic terms like 'sp...

Mera New year reolution ... rather wish ... is the entire song "Main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya ..." (the Non-smoking part of it !!) How about this ! Esp. the lines ---> ________-- "Barbadiyon Ka Shok Manana Fizul Tha Barbadiyon Ka Jashan Manata Chala Gaya" "Jo Mil Gaya Usi Ko Muqaddar Samajh Liya Jo Kho Gaya Maein Usko Bhulata Chala Gaya" "Gham Aur Khushi Mein Farq Na Mehsoos Ho Jahan Main Dil Ko Us Muqaam Pe Laata Chala Gaya " ________-- Almost th whole song is covered!
