Teradata Certified Professional ;)

Teradata Certified Professional..

So here I am guys… Yeah finally I am "Teradata Certified Professional" … I know I know this seems like a miracle… an event not meant to be… a news that can be flashed as “Breaking News” on NDTV… lol … At least people who know me well , “Wont” agree with me… slapping me you will find them saying… "Chup kar nautankii.. hamesha tho top kia hai… tho iss baar fail honekaa sawaal kaha se uthatha haii"... ;)


Hold on… its not that I have not been good with numbers since my school dayz… have almost always topped the class… yea yea … I know I am sounding like a geek now… but I was one… always wanted to top… always wanted to be first one to reach the top… phew… ok … fir kya huaa… reached the top ;)… but realized later that this “Top” wasn’t my destination… ;)… so from that day till now… never aimed for being at the top real soon.. real fast… now I just take one day at a time… and am enjoying the journey and music called “Life”…


Phew… bahut hua na… I know I get carried away at times when I get the whole whole blog of mine to write about “Life”… kya kare… ye ek hi tho jagah hai where I can just voice my thoughts ;)… elsewhere I never win as I have always been bad with “Debate’s”…. Hehe…


Ok ok… so where was I… right… I am finally Teradata Certified… Sacchi muchhi… heres the proof…

PS: For those who are thinking .. this certificate says 'Rajrashmi'... maybe tis girl is again bluffing ;)...hehe... My real name is 'Rajrashmi'... Phew... ya ya i know .... now blame my mom for this disaster... No my dad has nothing to do with this.... yea and also blame all the relatives present in my naming cermony.... main tho kuch bol nahi paayi on that day... but they could have helped mom realize this is not good... ;)... ab jaane do... too late for this debate ;) ... Ok Ok ... stop laughing now.... new year hai yaar... u can be good to me ;) ;) ;)

Thought of sharing the journey… lol… don’t worry… the journey lasted for just 2 days ;)… When I joined Teradata in March 2010… I was told by my manager that here we need to compulsarliy do Teradata certification… I said to myself… “Pagal hai kya…. I don’t believe in certifications… one certification will now prove that I am good at this technology.. bla bla bla my mind went on” …. Hehe… (as always)

Then I thought certi dene main kya hai… dumps tho available hi hai… ok ok… for all “Non-Techies”… you might be wondering what is this "DUMPS"….Well … "Dumps are set of qsts that has been created in the course of time by people who have given certifications and have come up with the qsts that will appear in the exam… not one qst from outside.. all u got to do is ratoofyy them and go… and there u hit 100% score" …. Phew…. I know I just sounded like “Chatur” from 3-Idiots ;)

But then bomb gira… Teradata Corporation came up with the upgrade version…. This meant new certification questions… and we are the as always lucky batch to give it for the first time… and exam had nothing to do with the old version questions … plus the count of qsts in the xam doubled… : ( ... complexity of qsts also doubled …. All who gave the new version exam came out with flying colors ;).. all failed.. 6000 in drain… my my… Teradata company was itself shocked with the rate people were flunking in the new version crtification… ek “Pramaan” jaari hua… all were asked to hold on and not give any certifications for 1 month… Meri tho chaandii… ;)

Then finally after a month again certifications started… qsts complexity didn’t reduce but maybe the marking scheme changed… number of people failing did reduce…

But I have never done things I don’t believe in… and certi ko again 6 months tak taalaaa… but december came in… and I did not want my manager to give me an ultimatum that either certification or no appraisals…. Pheww… 31st dec we had to fill in the appraisal form… so latest deadline for myself was 27th December to give the exam… as it atleast takes 2 days for the results to be out... yeah on the spot nahi aata :( ... and i did not want any entry in the "Missed Target" section that i did not give the certi...2 days padhaa…. damn my Christmas was wrecked because of this... People had studied for months together for this exam… in fact my fresher baccha party actually told me what to study .. what not to study… wat to ratoofy… lol… ratta word sunke laga main tho flunk… this is something I just cant do… for the first time I felt like I am like those people in college who fail… KT students… who ask the toppers “Yaar bata yaar kyaa aataa haii.. wohi padhungii” …. Hehehe…. 2 days I wasted (In studying ya) … gave the exam… after the xam I was in trauma for 2 days …. My expression said “What just happened”…. Hehehe

Itna gandaa paper maine life main nahi diaaa tha yaaarrr… Fir being an optimistic person maine sochaa chaloo.. top tho hameshaa kia haii.. lets get the feel of what it is like “Failing”… hehehe.. that too this failing would cost me 6000 bucks ;) hehehe….

29th Morning I got up… one voice told me… check ur mail…. As I mentioned in my last blog that these days I really hear this voice as loud as a church bell… I got up… checked my gmail account on my cell… there was a mail awaiting from “Teradata”… saying “Congrats… you have cleared Teradata Certification… you are now a Teradata Certified Professionl” …. Hehe… I just got up … ran towards my mom and hugged her… for the first time I was so happy after seeing the results… its like u were just about to meet with an accident and ur saved… Phew… this event goes in the list of my "Life’s Miracles" ;) hehehe … And also in my lifes regrets that I did something I didn’t believe in… this certification will now prove that I know Teradata tool they say... wow… only "Techies" can come up with such statements....truly... Phew… ;)

PS : Happy New Year Guys… new year and new decade too… First Blog of the season… yupieeee…. 2011… I know this year will Rock… for me and for u too ;)…. Aree baba mere instincts bahut strong hai… indeed ;) … trust me yaa… first day of the year I won’t bluff ;)

Btw blog ke title main mat jaooo… I knew 90% techies would be impressed by this… ;)

Sign's Out

Sign's Out…

Signing into gtalk,
She saw him online,
As always ,
She pinged first,
Pause,
Silence was must,
As thts been his virtue…

Waiting for reply,
Delay,
As always,
Don’t know why,
Suddenly,
Window showed,
He is typing…

She thought,
He is alive not dead,
As always,
“Hi… wassup”, he said,
After ages of delay,
All he had to say was this…

Silence,
Nobody understands,
Zillion cries so many times,
And at times still no replies…

Silence,
Is not louder than words,
Words needs to be said,
Else how can anyone understand…

Silence,
Is not the best virtue,
It just puts all issues,
In a long long queue…

Silence,
Is not being fair,
To someone you love,
It just shows you don’t care…

Silence,
Nobody deserves it,
In any relation,
It’s a total misfit…

Finally,
She decided to back off,
As always,
Wait untill he breaks,
His vow of silence,
So quietly,
She "Signs Out" …

On Christmas Eve :)

I see people around saying...

We won’t have Christmas this year they say,
As now we are old and the kids have moved away,
Home is so empty, so quite, oh so bare,
How can we have Christmas, which we can’t share…

We wont have Christmas this year they sigh,
As Christmas means all gifts money can buy,
But a loved ones illness has robbed us we fear,
So no things we can buy for Christmas this year…

We wont have Christmas this year they weep,
For a loved one has passed away and the grief is deep,
Our hearts are broken and yet to heal,
So we will take a long while to get the Christmas feel…

We wont have Christmas this year they confess,
As we are so busy, life is nothing but a mess,
Our work has got us completely caught,
So to be prepared for Christmas we completely forgot…

To all these I just wanna say,

Is it worth missing Christmas when trails befall,
Then you have never understood Christmas at all,
For once you are into the feel, you cannot be apart,
As true Christmas is nothing but having Christ in your heart…

PS: Inspired by a Christmas poem… Have a blessed Christmas everyone… May the Lord be with u… Keep smiling… Love ya…

Walking With God...

Walking With God...

These days I really feel like spending time with myself… talk to myself… hey chill guys… not that I need a doctor or something… but seriously…I do listen to that little voice in me that tells me right from wrong… that little voice that was really lost all this while… maybe it was there… but as soft as a whisper… But these days the same voice rings like a church bell… Have captured few of these moments in my mind… Thought of penning it down...

^^ Moment 1

On my way back home after a late evening meeting, some negative thought just hit me… these days I am a little occupied with my new project and few other work related crap… But blogging I cant desert ya… please don’t crucify me for that now… ;) …. Bear with me …. Or to say with my thoughts… ;) … ok where was I… ok I was just traveling in the Rick.. Enjoying the pleasant Mumbai winter… when I was just thinking seriously about my carrier that I have been taking oh so lightly… as in I am damn good at my work… But maybe the right break is pending… that just got me suffocated… hoga hi…. Ye rat race thoughts hi suffocating hote hai… in the midst of these thoughts I saw a family living in the footpath and the woman was cooking out there… Then the voice said out aloud..

“Look at that woman… she is cooking out there in the cold weather… she could have been you and you could have been her… if it wasn’t for my grace… be grateful that I have given you such an appealing life… that you get back home and have nothing to worry about… all you got to do is eat and sleep and get set for a new day…be grateful for what I have already done for you”...

^^ Moment 2

On my way to work, sitting in the Teradata bus… I looked outside my window… and saw a man driving the new Linea…. Wow my dream car I thought… wish I could get to drive that someday to work… at least I will get rid of this company bus travel… Suddenly my attention drew to the BEST bus and I could see people almost falling off from the entrance of the bus…. It was that packed… Then the same voice told me…

“Look at those guys going to work… be grateful that you don’t have to use the local transport to reach office… you get to sit in this cozy bus… half empty and reach on time… Remember that you have been blessed more than you can even think about… don’t crave for what is more… be thankful for what you already have”

^^ Moment 3

One day I was late for work… reached office at 12 pm… as I was having a nite shift the day before that… on my way to work I witnessed a bike accident… Bt my rick just passed by the accident zone… I looked at the view, just closed my eyes as I could not view the site and moved on…as I was also worried that I was damn late… Again the voice said...

“Has something inside you gone dead ... how could you just walk past that zone without getting off the Rick and helping them… “

This moment I cannot forget…. I got back to work… switched on my lappy and there the techie in me got alive… and maybe the human in me somewhere dead… this one moment of regret will always top the list in my life …

^^ So many more moments these days gets me to think… and the voice that was so soft has become oh so loud… its like I am having a “LIVE” conversation with God these dayss… Every moment of my life in the past … all my success… all the so called “Bingos” which I took for granted all this while … didn’t "Just" happen… all the “Walk-In-The-Park” events of my life didn’t happen because I was extra talented or something… it wasn’t by accident… But it happened because it was “God’s Grace”…. Which I surely did take for granted…

God just made me realize thru His voice that look at the things that I have already done for you and be grateful for the same… than looking at the things that just don’t seem to happen… Things that just don’t seem to fall into place…maybe they are just not meant to be…

Silence is indeed a bliss… Missed it since long… As they say “You need to be really at peace to listen to Gods voice” … Its like … how do I put this… Ok... Ya...

Its like “Walking with God” … Each day… Every Moment ;) …. And guess what he is never busy ;) …. Always available… and there are no delays in his replies ;) … Cool naa ;)

_______________________Rashmi (23rd December, 2010)

PS: Late night gyaan naa… Actually just had a 2 hour conversation with a close friend of mine regarding this… with few friends of mine I can just be “Me”… I know you guys will register my name with a pic that says “She Needs Help!”… hehe… But then seriously guys don’t you ever have this voice talking to you… really… if the answer is “No”… then there is something really wrong… “You Need Help!”… ;) … and if your answer is “Yes”.. then guys join my gang ;)… Always a pleasure to have more maniacs around me ;)

2010 – And its Tamacha’s… Oops… Learning’s...

2010 – And its Tamacha’s… Oops… Learning’s...

Year of learning’s you can say… So time for LMR ( Last Minute Revision dude) … All techies know this term for sure… LMR notes se hi tho engineering pass ki hai yaar… warnaa hum aur engineer… haha… In my dreams ;)

So, what this year brought in… Bundles of surprises… yeah and how can I miss those shocks… Ouchh !!!

^^ Did learn that Love at times happens when you let go of yourself for once … But also happens in letting go the same person with immense calmness…

^^ Riches are not just found in the bank balance we have today… But also in the debris of the past… Also when you just go on….on an unknown path…

^^ Owe my debt to all those who loved and hated me… all who believed in the light inside me when I was clinging in darkness… To all those who loved me when I was lost and was in the mission of self-search…

^^ Some broke me into zillion pieces… but other million hands also rebuilt me…

^^ So many stood by me… bore the brunt of my frustrations…

^^ Few pains I inherited… some I lived… many I borrowed…

^^ Silence at times makes the loudest noise they say… ( Kaun They.. me re… hehe) one time lover of silence had become someone who just couldn’t stand silence… but as the year is ending… m loving the silence all over again… ;)

^^ The only person you can truly rely on in your thick and thin times is “God”…

^^ It’s never too late to come back home… Your family is the best place you can find peace… so this girl who earlier lived with the thought every evening that said “ Oh God… why do I have to go back home” … now lives with the thought “Finally I am back home” :)

^^ Blessed with loads of friends… Friends lift up your spirits when your down… true… 10/10… But at times few of them do pull you down too… At times its better to wean away from them when you yourself are trying to get up… there is nothing wrong to take a kitkat break… you get up… get well spiritually… then you can lift up your friends too … or else both will fall badly…

^^ Year that doubled the number of my loved ones… few left me… few I left… For good…

^^ Year of “Oscillations” … Oscillations between past and future… Humans after all… yeah also realized that indeed I am a human… kya kare… mom calls me “Good for nothing”… Dad calls me “Spoilt brat”… and bro calls me “ Duffer” … I believe I am all of the three… but above all I am a human… galtiyaan ho jaati hai boss… so sab bhool gayi...so sab maaf kar daala… aur sabko maaf kar daalaa… jaooo simran jeelo apni zindagi ;) … hehe… DDLJ ka dialogue I guess ;)

So “Tamachaas” of 2010 mast the… waiting for more in 2011… yaar… khud ki galtiyon se seekhnee ka jo mazza hai who kissi aur kii galtiyoon se seekhne main nahi hai… I trulyyy believe in this ;) …

So, Make your “Own” mistakes… and try and be “innovative” all you techies... here at least…. Same same galtiyaan mat karoo… har baar nai waali … hehehe...

PS : Alwaidaa… Raat ke 12 baj rahe hai… oye sona hai yaar… nite shift allowance nahi mil raha “Naahi mujhe naahi mere kalam ko “ oops ... i mean mere lappy ko….

Goshh… wats up with the hindii yaa… sorry… This tells me…. Lights off… Good nite…

Love,
Rashmi

At Times...

Thanks HP for sharing the poem of "Prachi"... I loved her poem... Just took me to some other world for a moment... and i penned down this poem... could link to flow of hers... But I just didnt feel like ending this poem for once..Words were just flowing :) ....

At Times...

At Times…
You feel happy in tons,
But you feel,
Oh so sad at once,
At Times…

At Times…
You just love a color someday,
But some other day,
Dislike the same color in everyway,
At Times…

At Times…
You love someone w/o any reason,
But same love,
Withers away in some other season,
At Times…

At Times…
You fight for the one like your life is at stake,
But someday,
Same someone you so easily forsake,
At Times…

At Times…
You feel so very strong,
But very next moment,
So weak like a mute song,
At Times…

At Times…
You get thru, so lucky,
But other day a broke,
Even when chances are bulky,
At Times…

At Times…
You simply smile,
But for nothing,
Eyes go moist for a while,
At Times…

At Times…
You feel cold under the sun,
But other day,
For no reason it rains in ton,
At Times…

At Times…
You find no tears when you wanna cry,
But for no reason someday,
It just pours, don’t know why,
At Times…

At Times…
You see people as true,
But same ones,
Look oh so fake and new,
At Times…

At Times…
You smile though you are sad,
But other day you go low,
When you should be glad,
At Times…

At Times…
A song takes you to a diff world,
But same song someday,
Gets you all cold,
At Times…

At Times…
You feel you are in love,
But later,
Same feeling feels so hollow…
At Times…

At Times...
You don’t feel lonely alone,
But sometimes even with friends,
You feel you are with none,
At Times…

At Times…
Your faith in Almighty is so high,
But suddenly one day,
You loose it all, tell me why?
At Times…

At Times its strange… But I feel all this… At Times…

Sometimes...

Heyaa,

This is not my compilation for a change... Its by one of the poetess in the poems community on Orkut... Happened to read this one today... lved it.... hence sharing the same.... simple lite poem... :)

Sometimes...

Sometimes, I don't want you to be my hero...
I just want you to be a nice guy I know.

Sometimes, I don't want to rent a romantic comedy...
I just want to get bored flipping channels on TV.

Sometimes, I don't want to be kissed, cuddled, or hugged...
I just want our little fingers interlocked.

Sometimes, I don't want to have meaningful conversations...
I just want to chat; about this and that(!).

Sometimes, I don't want you to call me all day...
I just want you to leave a note that says "I love you today "...

Sometimes, I don't want you to say you're sorry...
I just want you to goofily, reasonlessly, smile at me.

Sometimes, I don't want you to give in to my evening plans for us...
I just want both our plans cancelled, and to sit at home and sulk.

Sometimes, I don't want you to take me out to lavish dinners...
I just want to share leftovers from lunch between us.

Sometimes, I don't want you to tell me you love me...
I just want to know it's too obvious.

Thank you for all our beautiful 'Sometimes' ...

That’s how free I feel today!

That’s how free I feel today!

Like a feather so light,
Flying like a kite,
Floating upwards,
Up in the air, flying towards,
An unknown lane,
Devoid of pain...

In every way...
That’s how free I feel today!

The kind of joy,
Oh so coy,
Coming from a baby’s smile,
Makes you forget all for a while,
Just holding the kid for once,
Gives you happiness in tons...

In every way...
That’s how free I feel today!

And yes maybe,
Coming back home you see,
The comfort of home,
Makes you forget you are alone,
Oh the warm hug, the kiss,
Love of family indeed a bliss...

In every way...
That’s how free I feel today!

Oh so dear friend,
When you meet at dead end,
Holding onto you,
When people around are few,
The feeling of being there,
Is oh so rare...

In every way...
That’s how free I feel today!

Free to fly… That’s how free I feel today!

Find a Reason to Give God Thanks

Joels Message On Giving God Thanks

Find a Reason to Give God Thanks...

Have you ever considered that perhaps you are not getting your prayers answered because you are not grateful for what God has already done for you?

Think of it as a parent… If your child is grateful and he or she sincerely thanks you for what you have done, you would want to do more for him or her… On the other hand, if your child is not grateful, and all he or she does is hound you for more, you are not apt to help that child very much…

Its similar with God… The scripture teaches us that we should continually give God thanks; we should live with an attitude of gratitude…

You may say, “I have been through so many disappointments. I lost my business last year… My marriage didn’t work out… I have lost so much… How do you expect me to be grateful?”

But if it had not been for the goodness of God, you could have lost it all… If not for Gods mercy, you might not even be here today… Quit looking at what you have lost and start thanking God for what you have left…

My friend Freddie had a flat tire out on the freeway… as he was on the side of the road changing the tire, a drunk driver smashed his car into him… As a result of this incident, Freddie lost both his legs beneath his knees…

Several days after the accident, my parents went to the hospital to visit Freddie…thinking he would be distraught and upset over his loss… But not Freddie … He had a smile on his face and was full of joy… All he could talk about was how God has spared his life… In spite of the tragedy, he still had a grateful attitude… he rose off the bed and said, “Look Pastor, whats left of my legs can still give God Praise”…

Freddie wasn’t focused on what he didn’t have… He was thanking God for what he did have… He may have lost a lot, but he knew if it were not for the goodness of God, he could have lost it all… Freddie now has artificial limbs… and everywhere he goes he tells people what God has done for him…

Make a decision today that you are going to be like Freddie… No matter what comes against you, you are going to have a grateful attitude… You are going to find some reason to give God thanks…

Perhaps you have lost your joy.. you have lost your enthusiasm… you have lost your victory…you would get it back if you would be more grateful…I heard about a person who was a very negative man…he constantly focused on what he has lost… One fine day someone told him to write down 10 things he could be grateful for… He did that and every morning he went through that list several times…Little by little his attitude began to change… He got his joy back… He got his victory back…Today he is a totally different person…

When you are tempted to become discouraged, recognize that the root cause can often be traced to having an ungrateful attitude… no matter what comes against you…if you will do as Freddie did, you can overcome any situation… Granted you may have suffered some losses…but thank God that you are still here…. You are alive… If you do that, there is no limit what God will do in your life…

So make this your commitment this year on Christmas Eve that you will no longer live a life oh so low… Give thanks to the Lord… For He is Good :)

Bible says:

Its good to give thanks to the Lord and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare your loving kindness and your faithfulness by night…

____ PSALM 92:1

Article I Read !

Caught my hands on an article in “Times Life!” today… liked it… so just penned down the “As-Is” version of it and thought of sharing…

Living a good life means different things to different people… What does it mean to you? … Living luxuriously, being charitable, having good friends or nurturing your home?

Don’t envy anyone… Be spontaneous and keep life uncluttered from feelings of envy… says filmmaker Pritish Nandy, “ I have only three simple rules… Fall in love whenever you want to… It’s the surest way to happiness… Never be envious of anyone of anyone… Envy is lowly… Try yoga… It never fails you”...

1. Work on Yourself

You are responsible for what you are thinking and the person you ultimately are… Work on yourself everyday… Focus on the larger picture… even as you fulfill your daily responsibilities… Says theater person Lushin Dubey, “ I try to make each day rich for myself… starting with prayer in the morning and ending with prayer in the evening… I fill the day with what I love the most… ie my work… In between I fulfill my duties as a mother, a wife and a daughter as I truly believe that one has to feed ones own self along with what we owe other. This constitutes a balanced way of living”…

2. Don’t take Tension

Get a good night’s sleep… And that takes some effort…ensuring that there are no unresolved conflicts or negative situations crowding your mind when you hit the pillow.. Recommends former diplomat and author Bhaichand Patil, “ Don’t let anything disturb you… Don’t take tension… walk away from unpleasant situations and people… Its not worth the hassle… I prefer to stick to people who like me and who I like… If you are at fault, apologize and move on”…

3. Learn a Skill

Have a goal that fires your imagination and makes you feel alive as you pound away at it… Says author Chetan Bagat, “It could be learning a skill, getting a qualification, a promotion or a health related goals… without goals, life becomes directionless and even with all the money and comforts in the world, quite dissatisfying… When the goal is achieved, set a new one… Don’t kill yourself over it but keep making efforts to reach it”…

4. Dance and sing without inhibition

Listen to your inner voice and stay true to yourself… Says writer Shobha De, “Trust your judgment, go with your intuition rather than logic sometimes and never compromise on your values and principles… Dance and sing without inhibition- that’s the best therapy in the world” …

5. Life is about compassion, surprise and wonderment

Don’t wonder at the purpose of life… Feel grateful for the fact that you are alive… And allow this awareness to enrich every moment of your day… Says Deepak Chopra, “I have lived in the constant awareness that my existence is a highly unlikely event… That is exist is a constant source of surprise and wonder… this has made me ever grateful and made life and compassion the important values of life”…

6. Accept the bad with dignity

Go slow on expectations from the world around… Don’t sweat the small or big stuff and take ups and downs in your stride… Says artist Akbar Padamsee, “ Never plan… when things don’t turn out the way we wished, we get frustrated… Accept situation for what it is… there is always a reason for it”…

7. Don’t retire from life

Don’t rest on past laurels… Bhaichand Patel remarks, “Even when you retire, don’t retire from life… Don’t wake up at 8 am not knowing what to do with your day” … Dev Anand is an ideal example… When a publicist met the veteran actor and praised his past movies, he retorted that he would rather focus on his upcoming movies!

8. The gift of Giving

Make charity a part of your daily routine by giving to the needy… Says Sunita Menon, “It’s the basic principle of Karma in action, and you get back what you give… start small by giving away Rs.10 or Rs.100 or dig into your cupboard… Just give !

PS: Just thought of sharing... Hope it wasnt overdose of "Gyaan"...

Love Me Not...

Love Me Not...

Love me not,
For how I shine under the sun…

Love me not,
For how good I look neatly plaited in a bun…

Love me not,
For how my colored lips look…

Love me not,
For how beautiful I look in the dress…

Love me not,
For how well I fit in the girl of your dreams…

‘
‘
‘
‘

Love that me,
When I just wake up in the morning…

Love that me,
Who is herself in front of you…

Love that me,
Who gets angry like a kid…

Love that me,
Who keeps blabbering nonsense at times…

Love that me,
What any tom dick or Harry cant see…

Love that me,
Who is true in front of you…

Love that me,
That loves thee…

But above all,

Don’t love “Me” as much…
But Love “Us” …

Arey re Arey ...

I know guys... this is a little crazyy... But I happened to listen to the song Arey re Arey from the movie "Dil Toh Pagal Hai"... kindaa made my heart skip a beat... such a beautiful song... tried a little to try english version to the lyrics... I know its not a complete justice to this beautiful song... but try karne main kya hai ;)

I know this sounds a little filmi... but Shahrukh fans se ye expected hai naa ;)

Listen to the original song first... it just gives the feel... atleast it did to me ;)... below is the link...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf2JFmDTIEE

Arey re Arey ...

Arey re Arey yeh kya huwa maine na yeh jana,
Arey re Arey ban jaye na kahee koyee afsana,
Arey re Arey kuchh ho gaya koyee na pehchana,
Arey re Arey banta hai toh ban jaye afsana...

Hold my hand, till we are together,
Keep conversing, in this cozy weather,
Stay with me, until we see the night fall,
Let’s not ignore our heart's call…

Arey re Arey yeh kya huwa maine na yeh jana,
Arey re Arey ban jaye na kahee koyee afsana,
Arey re Arey kuchh ho gaya koyee na pehchana,
Arey re Arey banta hai toh ban jaye afsana...

What should I name this love season?
To be together do we need a reason?
Feels like someone just touched my soul,
And made me feel oh so whole…

Arey re Arey yeh kya huwa maine na yeh jana,
Arey re Arey ban jaye na kahee koyee afsana,
Arey re Arey kuchh ho gaya koyee na pehchana,
Arey re Arey banta hai toh ban jaye afsana...

When you leave, to hold on I have to try,
My heart skips a beat; truly, it’s not a lie,
Hope we don’t cross the barriers of time,
To be together, is it a crime?

Arey re Arey yeh kya huwa maine na yeh jana,
Arey re Arey ban jaye na kahee koyee afsana,
Arey re Arey kuchh ho gaya koyee na pehchana,
Arey re Arey banta hai toh ban jaye afsana...

There is something between you and me,
Don’t you feel it too, or it’s just me?
Just check if your hearts still there where it used to be  …?
Is it stable or did it just flee...?

Arey re Arey yeh kya huwa maine na yeh jana,
Arey re Arey ban jaye na kahee koyee afsana,
Arey re Arey kuchh ho gaya koyee na pehchana,
Arey re Arey banta hai toh ban jaye afsana ...

I See Lot of People – (II)

Below is the link of my own poem "I See Lot of People - (I)...

http://myworld-rashmi.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-see-lot-of-people.html

Back then had written it with a negative frame of mind... same poem when i re-visited today i felt it could have been so positive... so heres a positive frame for the same... :)

I See Lot of People – (II)

Everywhere every sphere,
Of earth,
I see lot of people…

Satisfied with life,
Happy,
I see lot of people…

Filled with the rare virtue,
Of Patience,
I see lot of people…

Lifting broken souls,
Compassionate,
I see lot of people…

One time atheists but now,
Believers,
I see lot of people…

Walking their talk,
Genuine,
I see lot of people…

Happy with luck,
Of others,
I see lot of people…

People devoid of mask,
Smiling,
I see lot of people…

Holding a broken heart,
Yet happy,
I see lot of people…

Life just not good yet,
Praying,
I see lot of people…

One time fragile but now,
So strong,
I see lot of people…

Doing to please God,
Upright,
I see lot of people…

Giving loved ones space,
Non judgmental,
I see lot of people…

Hearts filled with hurt yet,
Forgiving,
I see lot of people…

Souls which were once negative,
Now positive,
I see lot of people...

Dreaming a new dream,
Courageous,
I see lot of people…

Once mourning on lost love,
Now moved on,
I see lot of people…

Changed perspective,
Evil,
I see (None) of people…
