Life Moves On

Life is full of memories. I think forgetfulness is one of the greatest gifts which we have received from Almighty. Though we all wish to be able to have a sharp memory and be able to remember everything, but I truly believe what I stated above. Because of this forgetfulness only, we can say that "Time is a great healer". Numerous events occur in our lives which we really do not want to remember, in such situations this forgetful nature of ours really helps us a lot. If we would have been able to remember everything always; this world would have been a difficult place to live in. I think in that case these psychiatrists could have made cool money (well, they still are making :)). 

Every bad accident, bad event, bad experience, bad relation, anxiety, tragedy you had would have stayed in your memory and  would have haunted you whenever you may attempt to take some steps to overcome the burden and move on. Life itself really would have been tragic. Loss of a person, a family member, a closed one shatters us completely and fills us with anxiety and pain. But still we are able to overcome that because of this forgetfulness. Of course the time taken by a person to overcome varies from individual to individual but ultimately we are able to move on as we say "Life moves on" .

I thank Him for this quality (of forgetfulness) but at the same time I wish we could keep all the good memories we had; at some different partition of brain (or something like that), so that we may always remember and cherish the good moments we experienced, may it be for a few seconds or many days together. Anyways, these whims and fancies we have can never have an end. Lets be happy with what we have at least whenever something goes wrong; we can be sure that someday, sometime "Life will move on" and everything will be fine.

Lyrics of "Der Lagi Lekin"

Der lagi lekin, maine ab hai jeena seekh liya...

Jaise bhi ho din, maine ab hai jeena seekh liya...

Ab maine ye jaana hai, khushi hai kya gham kya...

Dono hi do pal ki hai rutein.....

Na ye theherein na rukein...

Zindagi do rangon se bane, ab ruthe ab mane.....

Yahi to hai yahi to hai yahaan....

Der lagi lekin, maine ab hai jeena seekh liya...

Aansuon ke bin, maine ab hai jeena seekh liya...

Ab maine ye jaana hai, kise kahoon apna....

Hai koi jo ye mujhse keh gaya, ye kahaan tu reh gaya...

Zindagi to hai jaise kaarvaan tu hai tanhaa kab yahaan...

Sabhi to hain sabhi to hain yahaan....

Koi sunaaye jo hansti muskurati kahaani....

Kehta hai dil, main bhi sunoon....

Aansu ke moti ho jo kisi ki nishaani...

Kehta hai dil main bhi chunoon...

Baahein dil ki ho baahon mein...

Chalta chaloon yun hi raahon mein...

Bas yu hi ab yahaan ab wahaan...

Der lagi lekin maine ab hai jeena seekh liya..

Aansuon ke bin maine ab hai jeena seekh liya...

Hai koi jo ye mujhse keh gaya...

Ye kahaan tu reh gaya...

Zindagi to hai jaise kaarvaan....

Tu hai tanhaa kab yahaan...

Sabhi to hain sabhi to hain yahaan...

1974 "Phir Kab Milogi"

Some songs are really too beautiful to be forgotten. But, these days we don't have many songs like that. The songs earlier used to be the representation of emotions, pure and real. Even today they represent the same but, its just, at times, difficult to understand what kind of emotions. Some of the awkward songs- "Jaa Chudail", "Bhaag D.K. Bose", "Tinku Jiya", etc etc.


Well, here is one of my favourite songs from the movie  “Phir Kab Milogi” released in 1974. This song was sung by Mukesh and Lata and the Music Director is the legendary R.D. Burman and lyrics by 
Majrooh Sultanpuri. The movie may be forgotten, but the song is really wonderful. 

And then in 1996, the remix version of the same song was released by Annamika, pop singer of that time, in the album Intezar. This song really was a hit amongst youngsters and revived the original version.
I personally like both the versions.

Types of People

"Types of People"... Is it really possible to understand the various different types of people. Well, what compels me to write this is the "Software Engineering" exam which I have on 8 May.. Those of you who do not know as to how is this subject related to the topic, actually there is a chapter named "Managing People" in which we need to study about the various different types of people in a software based organisation. They categorise it into three broad categories...

(i) Task Oriented People : They are the ones who are technically strong and  are motivated by the task ie the work they do in their field of interest (or involvement).

(ii) Self Oriented People : They are the ones who are motivated by the rewards, success and recognition.

(iii) Interaction Oriented People : They are the ones who are motivated by the presence and actions of their co-workers, so the environment plays a significant role in their efficiency.

Well, according to "Software Engineering", that is it, only these three categories. All the people can be sorted out into any one of these categories.. I have studied this topic a couple of times before as well. I studied this in "Ethics & Values" and then in "Organisational Behaviour" as well. Even then the same question used to pop up in my mind that, really is this it ? ...

Think about it, you have met many people till date and you do meet many people on day to day basis. Will you be able to categorise them in some 3 or 4 broad categories ? I don't think so... Anyways, forget about categorising, are we really capable enough to understand this topic "Types of People"...

Sometimes, people stay together for years and years and still are unable to understand and "categorise" each other.. On the contrary, sometimes even a few hours let people decide whether they understand each other or not.

If you really need examples to understand what I am saying; well, there are ample of examples around, just have a look.. To take some influential examples, you may consider the scenario of the arranged marriage.. Some invested time, some meetings, total calculated time of a few hours, and the decision made, "category" decided. Some vital years of your life decided.

Ok.. Lets take a bit more professional example.. An interview room, a few questions, a few gestures, some preconceptions, some presumptions and the decision made, "category" decided. Also, your career of the first few years decided. 

In fact, forget about categorising many people. What about the same person changing "categories" ? People in this world change every second. Sometimes, we believe we know the person, but the moment we start relying on this belief, boom.. People change and these so called known people become strangers to us.. Lets not be pessimistic, the change can be for good as well (always its not for the bad, though this case is highly likely). Whatever it may be, but, the question remains, do we really understand people ?

May be this is one of those questions which are not supposed to have an answer. After all, life is not about categorising people (though exams are) and thinking as to we know them or not. Life is all about making the best in whatever amount you know the person or the persons. Its not about thinking and exploring the changes, may it be in people, or may it be in anything else. Rather, it is all about adapting yourself to the changing scenarios and getting the best out of it.

Enjoy all, have a good day... :)) 

Anna Hazare Zindabad, What About Others ??

Today Anna Hazare is the hero of almost every person who wishes India to be better place to live.. Ofcourse the people who will be harmed because of the Lokpal Bill are not with us... Let them not be coz anyways they are not the ones who want India to be better place, they just want their bunglows to be the best place to live no matter how many millions of them don't even have a shelter. (refer http://equalityindia.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/urban-houseless-population/)..

So, as we all may perceive, it  makes us believe in the strength and the power of the media that within a few days complete nation was with Anna and the word spread through the entire nation like fire...

But, is this what the truth is, well it is not.. The major sources through which the news travelled, was not media, television and newspapers alone. I believe internet also played one of the major roles in this regard... The emerging influence of internet can be disussed later.. 
Anyways, the media had to pick up and highlight this movement because it was Anna who did it..

Many of you may not be knowing that Anna has been active in such activities from a long time.. Even if you know now, I bet you may not have been knowing about his activities before this whole movement. But, media was indeed well aware of Anna's past achievements, so they had to pick this up.. (refer http://annajihazare.blogspot.com/).. 

And now, have a look at the newspapers, TV channels, it is full of the "Royal Marriage" or somewhere here and there about the developments in the 2G scam. It is difficult to find the developments in this Lokpal issue (though I am not saying that they are not there.), it is not highlighted and slowly and gradually they will be out of news completely (I wish this does not happen considering Anna's past record)...

But, is Anna the only one who fights for issues like this. There may be many many more Annas on hunger strike in some town, in some district, or in some far distant small village. But media is not going to bring news about them. You know why, oh come on, it is simple, they do not qualify you know.. Yes it is like a competition, and here they do not clear the qualifying round itself. 

They may not be fighting for a cause as large as Anna's, they may not be fighting in a place as big as Anna's (New Delhi), and the most important part; no one takes  you seriously if you do not have a good academic record ie good marks, good cgpa etc etc, isn't it; so in this case, they may not be having an exemplary past record in such activities... So, how can media highlight them ?? But, according to me, media does not need to look upon such factors before realising their true worth... I agree they may not be as good as Anna in so many aspects, but a news regarding these people is definitely much much better than the stupid stuff regarding catching ghosts, analysis of daily saops and what not...

Anyways, I would like to sign off here with this saying...

"There are only two forces that can carry light to all the corners of the globe... the sun in the heavens and the Associated Press down here."

Its high time media understood this...

Phir Suna Emptiness Song Lyrics

Phir suna meethi meethi si woh dastaan.
Jisko sunke meri zindagi mein hoti hai nayi subah.
Pass aa, aake mujhse phir na door jaa.
Pyari Pyari iss Raat ki Gehraaiyon me doob jaa.
Hooo oo o o o o ..


Aa.. Baahon mein bhar loon tujhko kaskar.
Saare gum bhula de dekhe jab tu hanskar.
Aa.. Baahon mein bhar loon tujhko kaskar.
Saare gum bhula de dekhe jab tu hanskar.


Ye raat dhal na jaye.
samet lu main har pal.
Aa milke sajaayein jo aane wala hai pal.
Hmm....mmmm.....


Pass aa aake mujh se phir na door jaa.
Pyari Pyari Is Raat ki Gehraaiyon me doob ja.
Hooo oo o o o o...


Mera Dil meri jaan tu.
Mere saare armaan tu.
Tere liye toh main chhod du
Yeh Jahaan...
