What's Going On
S/W Industry is a funny place. Here the best might bite the dirt and worst may play Beach Volleyball in Miami. What's new in this statement.Thousand's of SE's air such view. Well difference is that i'm getting to experience it first hand.
Never imagined Life would come this way..the love of Coding( and also using Google) brought me here. I thought i was the king but then 10 months ..yes frnds Ten months is all that it took me to realize that i was poor...even worse in terms of Luck.Since only One thing can take u thru S/W industry in current scenario and tht's Luck.U can code or u cant no one cares,Google is there to take care of all such issues.
All you need to have is luck..the luck to get right search results of google..the luck to create such errors which bring back clent projects..the luck which makes you respectable in eyes of PM.
Bench - Internal Project -Bench - even more stupid Internal Project
this is my life cycle and it seems it will go on for ever and ever. As i struggle through this phase i pity for all those who harbour dreams of gr8 wrk just like i did a year back and wen thy get caught up in this vortex..well it makes them sad..
Nowhere to Run ,Nowhere to Hide
This is the time , to speak out your Plight...
I wish all me juniors tht thy dnt get caught up in this position..and all those who are reading this piece of mind please please join your first job for your love of doing something and not for money or security, because there exists none of this in IT industry ( Money exists only if u do well, u do well only if u love job)
Aargh....God Show me the way out plzzzzzz...............

Everything You Desire
Flying miles over fluffy,white sky , Gajodhar supported a hard to notice smile.A smile brought on by yearn of playing with his Siblings, the yearning of home cooked food, yearning of having a game of pool with friends. A chance to meet his beloved .
A young,bright, vibrant lad:product of great Indian middle class,shone through his academic days to land a plum job in IT sector.A Sector where he lost his identity,only to don a new face every day as per the requirement of Client.
"Horses for Courses " was his dress up theme-as dumb,monotonus life was the IT Gene.
A sudden jolt and next moment he was swirling downwards with the plane.As he opened his eyes he found himself lying in a big vineyard.A man approached him and lifted his spirit up.Senseless he moved around the vineyard gaping at the beauty of place.All his life he had felt locked up in a 4 X 6 cubicle with a 12" Lappy ,but the feeling of being at this place just awed him.
"Human" a gentle voice wafted,"Let me take you on a trip.".Next moment he was in a office similar to his ,but with a lot more joyous feeling. Santa a.k.a Satwinder ,with a headphone and a mic around was laughing as he worked in front of Desktop. No he didnt sport the brands which would make you look at him ,still his persona was such you just can't take your eyes off him.
His conversation over the phone revolved around the changing belief from "To fall be ready to please all" to "To climb up the ladder,the more you please yourself ,the better". Santa caught chances thrown around him, connived for things which propped him up, whatever he did it was for his own happiness.
Gajodhar recalled memoirs about pleasing everybody but himself. Never he realized going down the mint of money with the hole of obscurity. Leaving behind joys of small things that come in life.
It didn’t take Gajodhar long to realize that working to attain happiness was much more difficult than to stay happy to get work done.Key to trouble free life was not, trying not to have troubles but to treat troubles as one sadistic person whom you’ve got to make laugh.
There the man wearing a saints dress said to Gajodhar, “ Dude , the success of life does not exist in creating a defect free code which your team members can’t comprehend , does not exist in having X number of onsite trips , it’s all about appreciating what you get , getting work done out of happiness”.
Gajodhar went back on road he had left behind to see success was his Dad treating him with his first Bike, Friends hooshing him for marks and himself approaching Radhika and … a push , wham !! head crashes into monitor.
Gajodhar caught yet again day dreaming on Bench.

Miles Covered , Miles to Go
Tryst with Destiny , that began at Midnight
has given all of us,a million reasons for delight.
Bounded we were for a while
Free to fly is our new way of life.
Freedom to Say
Freedom to Play
Freedom to Jive
Freedom has provided us
with Elan of Life.
As we stand saluting the future
which stands,shining ever so brighter.
A thought comes to mind
Lets not forget those martyrs..
For they gave us
A reason to smile
A reason to dream
to go beyond the defined mile.
A reason to live freely
under clear blue sky.
Freedom has given us an opportunity
to rejoice without fear,
Express ourselves,Loud and Clear.
Conquering world ,reaching new heights
Indians are ,proving their might.
As the TriColour flutters
in the breeze, so high
Lets take a pledge
to exist in Brotherhood
with Attitude
Never Say Die !!

Tera Mera Rishta Purana..
Why ? Did I override my Heart's call
My Wish,To stand Beneath a Fall.
The ridge's, walking upon which, was my dream
Ending up doing nothing,but scream.
Lush Green Mountains beckons me
but, this 2X2 space threatens me.
Wanderlust , was I
Views atop gave me a high.
Still, The belief persists
to be back, on those Trips.
Mujh par yeh zindagi karti rahi hain Sitam
Tune hi di hain Panaah
Tera Mera Rishta Puranaa......
( Hope to be back on Mountains soon )

If Only !!
Year 2100 A.D.
With a glass of Vintage Wine in hand,David looks down from terrace of his palatial bungalow in heaven , with just a thought..
If Only I Could kill my soul,
i won't be subjected to watch ,
eradication of Man Kind from Earth.
David , the best man around,
who loved everyone,helped everyone,
cared for everyone,
just forgot one
" Mother Earth "
He thinks...
If only had I not laughed off the global warming,
if Only had I not turned blind eye to poaching,
If Only had I played my part in saving natural resources
My great grand children would have been spared from
the living hell " The Earth ".
This may not be the story of One David,
there are billions of such david's around.
A David is present in nook and corner of
everyone's heart..
All you've got to do it is to listen to him.
If you boast of the fact that you have 10 friends...
Congratulations your work is done....
You've got a team of 11 people to play the big match..
a team which can catch fantasy of blue billion...
blue billion which commands 1/6 th of world.....
and the billion which can save the Mother Earth.
Individual contribution,no matter how small when aggregated
over a billion people will be humangous.
Just play your part.
Save electricity,water and other resources where ever you can
even if in few watts a day...
It's a prayer from a david
who want's a world as good as it is today,
for generations to come.

Waiting to get Ctrl-X'ed and Ctrl-V'ed
Coutry Roads Take me Home
To the place I Belong
Class of '06,PEC
Coutry Roads Take me Home
Memories of which will b there,
Lifelong to be cherished
A little tribute to some special persons..
These are the people who ,
added a new dimension to my life.
The Person who taught me how to ,
get up and get my 'DREAM '.
The Person who gave me all the 'CHINTA ',
so that i was ever ready for any eventuality.
The Person who made me realize how Important,
it was to have dreams like 'MUNGERI'.
The Person who made me realize,
how ' ROSY ' life can be with Friends.
The Person who taught me how important,
It was to ' REPRESENT CLASS '.
The Person who sybolized the importance ,
of the notes of '500 '.
The Person who symbolized the importance ,
of Having 'INVERSE POLARITY ' in life.
The Person who made me realize how important,
Notes were even if they were from 'M L GUPTA NOTES'.
The Person who told me that the,
way to go is to b 'COOLDUDE'.
Then the Person who taught me how important,
'WA WA ' is for performer.
Then the Person who showed the way ,
to be ' ULTIMAN ' of class.
Last but not the least the person who,
symbolized power of
' GURUDWARA ' n 'GUD-SHAKKAR '.
And then there were others,
every 1 special in his/her own right,
teaching me 1 thing or the other.
I Just wanna Thank You for all these Teachings.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just come back
Thank You for my merry Days.

Miles to go Before I Sleep
Coo Koo Coo Koo Coo Koo....
the melodious sounds vibrate my ear drums to wake me up
eyes open to greet a new begining
Golden light of Sun fills up my heart n room alike
Rays carry along with them
a new hope , a new opportunity
another chance to prove ,my mettle.
The journey has just started
New day brings new challenges,
chance to push the horizon of knowledge a step further,
chance to make new friends,
to call up old pals.
To provide another reason to my parents
to be proud of me.
Work,Good work,Best work,
the terms elude me till now.
But Dreams keep growing,
future beckons me.
Evening takes away the Light,
gives me a chance to take a break
Close my eyes
Visualize my life
But there is so much to do
so much to acheive
and miles to go before i sleep
the melodious sounds vibrate my ear drums to wake me up
eyes open to greet a new begining
Golden light of Sun fills up my heart n room alike
Rays carry along with them
a new hope , a new opportunity
another chance to prove ,my mettle.

The Gaze
The Gaze.. from her side,
was enough to produce a blaze in my eyes.
The Gaze.. for which One would do anything,
fell in my kitty as if I was a king.
The Gaze.. which had a message,
of which I couldn't comprehend the passage.
The Gaze.. which could have made my day,
had I responded without a sway.
The Gaze.. which put me through a maze,
through which I find it tough to find a way.
In Nights it will keep me awake,
The Gaze...
Dear God..Please bless me to get once again,
that GAZE..
was enough to produce a blaze in my eyes.

MISS HER SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!
She was my darling,
my dream and with me,
she formed a Formidable team.
Her Beauty,
her seductiveness,
gave me an Adrenalin rush.
Through the day,
into the night,
she supported me,her life,she devoted it to me.
In rough weather,
In the sunshine,
she stood by me,
even in times of crime.
She was the reason,
I attended many of lectures,
she took me to places,
where I had great time,
far from any gazes.
UnDemanding as she was,
made me love her,even more.
Just that i couldn't make her my wife,
coz She was my Bike...........

To All My Beloved friends
This 1 for all my mates@ PEC
As I settle in this new lease of life
Size of my wallet shows i got it right
Shop till u drop is my new religion
As Values n Ethics undergo a transition
Happiness as it seems ,Is showering down
Sun Rays carry the warm wishes around
Merry Go Round may be the life
But certain Questions do cast a cloud..
India Inc is booming,so is the crowd
But WAIT............
I can't find myself anywhere around
Are my eyes closed or is there some sort of cloud.
Lost in the myriad of faces
work i do leave no traces
PA's n PM's are the only one's who matters
when my personal life shatters
Where I'm heading off,I can't see
Seeking a shadow under the tree
Waiting for life to come to a standstill
Collecting the reminiscent's is all that i've got on my will
Friends -Foes ,with no one in sight
Living this life is becoming a fight
Waiting is the mode ,my senses are in
A message from u will surely raise my chin
