Wow ! First two months at Microsoft just passed in the blink of an eye. I must say, so far it has been a mixed experience. Initial few days were quite tough. Right from getting out of my comfort zone and meeting new people to completely different environment; things were complicated. I was really not…Read more Welcome to Microsoft !
The Last Date
It was a normal evening. Tangerine dusk was losing its sheen to ascending moon coming tiptoed with refulgent darkness. We had just returned from LC but our arguments on illogical topics wouldn't dare to come to a full stop. I escaped the discussion to change my dress and get some fresh air. While I was…Read more The Last Date
"End" is a better start for everything
आज इस अँधेरे शहर में भटक सा गया हूँ हर निशानी महरूम है सभी बाशिंदे गुमशुदा हैं, बदग़ुमान हवाएँ भी कानों से सट के बस गुजर जा रही हैं इक इशारा भी नहीं देती निगोड़ी, ख़स्ता सी रोशनी लिए ठूँठ सा खड़ा रहने वाला वो खम्भा भी आज कहीं दिख नहीं रहा सिमट गया है…Read more "End" is a better start for everything
Mughal-e-Azam
College ends, vacation starts. A day before yesterday, I completed Californication and Da Vinci’s Demons and was in no mood for any other serial. So, I thought about my “must-watch-movies-before-I-die” list. Mughal-e-Azam was put on front burner after I had watched “Pyaasa” and “Sahib, Biwi aur Ghulam” a month ago and was mesmerized by their…Read more Mughal-e-Azam
माँ
On the occasion of Mother's day, my homage to all the mothers of this world who stayed up all night with sick babies in their arms, swaying cradles, walking all around the house singing lullabies, sharing every bit of joy & sorrow with the cynosure of their eyes and for always being there and saying…Read more माँ
‘Change’ always comes bearing gifts
When life starts to seem insipid and lacking fun, it’s best to try out some changes. It can be a very small one, seemingly nugatory; but the important thing is that this small change may open a window to rather newer predilections in your life. I was feeling likewise since the last two days. Everything…Read more ‘Change’ always comes bearing gifts
तलाश
अक्सर जब बात-चीत का काफ़िला तुम्हारे मोहल्ले से गुज़रता है हर चौक, हर नुक्कड़ पे ख़लिश गुमसुम जुबां ख़ुदा से दो हर्फ़ माँगता है यूँ तो एक हँसी चिपका के बोल देता हूँ दोस्तों को कि राब्ता नहीं उस गली से पर आज भी उसकी हर ईंट में तुम्हारे निशां ढूँढता हूँ | कहते हैं…Read more तलाश
F.R.I.E.N.D.S
F.R.I.E.N.D.S A few minutes ago, I watched the last episode of 10th season of Friends. An era has come to an end. I truly believe that whenever these seven alphabets will be written in caps with a period separating them, it will boil down to this single magnum opus. I can still feel my…Read more F.R.I.E.N.D.S
तोहफ़ा
आज मैं तुम्हें कुछ पल दे रहा हूँ माज़ी की शाख़ से तोड़ कर लाया जो चख-चख कर कुछ मीठे बेर दे रहा हूँ नाज़ुक है, शोख़ है, संभाल कर रखना इसे मखमली शाल में लपेट एक सब्ज़ लम्हा दे रहा हूँ आँखों के चिलमन से उतर मन को भींगाए जो दिल के दरीचों…Read more तोहफ़ा
Casablanca
Yesterday I watched Casablanca. Only two words are sufficient to epitomize this movie - ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!! Initially I was a bit hesitant to watch this black & white movie made some ages ago in 1942, but trust me, the attempt paid off. Today I watched it third time and can still repeat some…Read more Casablanca
