Electric Eye

Up here in space
I'm looking down on you

My lasers trace
Everything you do

You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected protective, detective, Electric Eye!

Alvidaa

Well,

Today, the 1604th day of my professional life in IT industry, in Cognizant and in Credit Suisse account, happens to be my last day out here.

Needless to say, this was a memorable journey from Training, to n number of projects…….

I learned lot of things,
I enjoyed many challenges,
I met so many people,
I made so many friends,
I made some lifetime friends.

I admit that every day, every single day had its own beauty.

Today, I have mixed feelings, I am sad as I am leaving something, I am equally glad as I am looking forward to take a new role, enjoy new responsibilities, explore new challenges and build new business dimensions.

Though I am leaving the IT industry, I am not Burning my Ships….. So we may meet up again someday….. J

Wishing you all the best. Do keep in touch. You can always find me on Orkut.

Nuqoosh

Qahet mein sirf maut arzaan hoti hai aur Qaht ur Rajal mein Zindagi.

Marg e Anboh ka jashn ho to Qahet, Hayaat be masraf ka maatam ho Qaht ur Rajal. Ek Aalam maut ki nahaq zahemat ka, dusra zindagi ki nahaq tuhmat ka. Ek samaan Hashr ka dusra mahez Hasharat ul Arz ka. Zindagi ke ta-aq-qub mein rahne waale Qahet se zyada Qaht ur Rajal ka gham khaate hain.

Basti, Ghar aur zabaan khaamosh. Darakht, jhaad aur chehre murjhaaye. Mausam aur lab khushk. Nadi, naher aur halaq sukhe. Jahaan paani maujein martaa tha wahaan khaak udne lagi. Jahaan se meenh barasta tha wahaan se aag barasne lagi. Log pahle nidhaal huye phir behaal. Aabadiyaan ujad gayein aur veerane bas gaye. Zinfagi ne yeh manzar dekha to kaheen door nikal gayi, na kisi ko is ka yaara na tha na kisi ko is ka suraagh. Yeh Qahet mein zameen ka haal tha.


Abr dil khol kar barsaa, chote chote dariyaaoon mein bhi paani chadh aaya. Dekhte hi dekhte aisa jal thal hua ke sabhi tar daaman ho gaye. Daulat ka sailaab aaya aur qana-at ko khas o khaashaak ki tarah bahaa le gaya. Ilm w daanish dariya burd huye aur hosh w khirad maye naab mein garq. Din huwa w hawas mein katne lage aur raat naao nosh mein. Din ki raushni itni tez thi ki aankhein khaira ho gayein. Raat ka shor itna buland tha ke har aawaz us mein doob gayi. Karvaan ne raah hi mein apna rakht e safar khol diya. Log Shaad baad ke taraane gaane lage. Gar cha manzil e muraad abhi bahut door thi. Zindagi ne yah manzar dekha to kaheen door nikal gayi., na kisi ko is ka yaara tha na kisi ko is ka suraagh. Yeh Qaht ur Rajal mein zameen ka haal tha.
Shaayar ne jo yeh haal dekha to nauha likha:

Be dili haaye tamasha ke na ibrat hai na zauq
Be kasi haaye tamanna ke na duniya hai na deen

Dil giriftagi ne kaha aisi shaadabi us veerani par qurbaan jahaan madar e ayyam ki saari dukhtaraan e aalam maujood hoon magar wabaaye Qaht ur Rajal na ho. Is waba mein aadmi ka yeh haal ho jaata hai ke mardum shumaari ho to be shummar, mardum shanaasi ho to nayaab.

Ab ki Eid

Zindagi ka mahesoos hota hua thahraoo shaayad itna mahesoon na hona chahiye tha....Lekin pichle waqtoon se jo waqt ke saath daudte rahne ki aadat si ho chuki hai, us ne Thahraao ki gaheraayi ko mazeed ujaagar kar diya tha......

Aur jab Zindagi ki daud ka ek baar phir se aaghaz ho gaya to......No Words :-)

Is baar Eid par kaafi waqt mila.. Shahr e azeez ki galiyon ki Raunaqein, Veeraniyaan, Gahma Gahmi, Shor Sharaba, Ladayi Jhagde, Hashr Samaaniyaan, Raat ki ba tabiyaan, Guftagoo ki ravaniyaan, Bichde dostoon ki kahaniyaan, Eid ki khareedaari,,, Har ek cheez ke saath waqt guzaarne ma mauqa mila....

Dil e be taab ne yahaan bhi apne liye ek rassta dhoond hi liya... Proteus ka simulation apne hi ustaad ko sikhaana ba-as e fakhr to zaroor tha....

Koochon se guzarte huye be ikhtiyaar ek dahaayi pehle ka zamaana yaad aa gaya.....
Saal tha 1999 ka, aur main tha dahum jamaa-at mein...... Dil ki veeraaniyoon ke liye school to kaafi na tha.........is liye masroofiyaten to dhoondh hi li thein us waqt bhi......

Lekin haaye yes das se das hazaar ka safar........Us kulfat ki ulfat aur kahaannnn :-)
Allah ka laakh laakh shukr hai..........

New beginning.....

Well, last three weeks were quiet busy.... Setting up entire office is a difficult task off course... :-) Presence of Izhar and Rizwan was a great support indeed. Anyways.... new office at Swargate is something pleasing....really pleasing.....It is new beginning of an old dream....... Somebody once told, Only when you dream it, you do it.......very true..... Dreams keep us alive.....I am not yet dead.... I am alive... I have a dream.......

The beautiful tomorrow

Well Guys,

It is more than three and half years in the industry, and more importantly, in the professional life. I have seen many faces of life, and experienced a lot over the period. From last few weeks, I find myself sad, and unhappy with what I am. It seems like every passing day makes me even sadder. While discussing with some of my friends, I understood that most of us have same feelings… No Salary Hike….No Promotion…. No Onsite……No Role change……and blab la…..

Yesterday, I was reading the diary I used to write during my graduation. It reminded me of the Charm, the Passion and specially the Dreams I had…….

Today…. I have everything.…Today I have food in the refrigerator, nice clothes and jackets on my shoulder, a roof overhead…... I have money in the bank, in my wallet, and I can spare change in a dish……... I have a bike to ride on…..I have options to write this email either on my desktop or my laptop…… I have the luxury that is dream of more than 90% people on earth…… Isn’t it what I used to dream few years back? Then too I am not happy…….I could not understand what makes me unhappy…..

Then my thoughts guided me to the most known fact of life: “Har kisi ko mukammal jahaan naheen milta” [Not everyone get the entire universe]. This fact remains unchanged but let us not forget that what we have means Universe to most of the people. Then I started realizing what is wrong….Once upon a time, I had nothing other than a Passion to do something exceptional and a Dream….. And today, all my seven year old dreams have come true……BUT I did not realize it, rather I am running after another tomorrow……new Dreams….. and it taught me a good lesson……..

The beautiful tomorrow never comes because when it comes, it has already become today and in the hunt of beautiful tomorrow we forget our wonderful today.

So my friends, realize today and ENJOY life…..

Ae Zindagi.....

Zindagi....Yuun mahesoos hota hai jaise yeh Zindagi thaher si gayi ho...
Woh na maloom si khalish kabhi chain se naheen rahne deti...
Buri khabar aati hai par acchi ki umeed jaato to naheen....
Kal kis ne dekha hai... par kuch khwaab to dekhe hain

Yeh Lamha kitna jaana pahchaana lagta hai..
