Becoming Great

You don't become great by trying to be great.
You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.

Insights on Love....

There are people whom one loves immediately and forever.
Sometimes even knowing they are alive in the world with one is quite enough.... 

Easy or Difficult....

Attempt easy tasks as if they were difficult, and difficult tasks as if they were easy; in the Ist case that confidence may not fall asleep, in the other that it may not be dismayed....

ओ मेरी जान....

हैरान हैं हम, हुए क्यूँ तुम गैरों से
कैसा है गम, बोलो ना तुम होठों से

ना तुम हो बेवफा, ना मैं भी हूँ
फिर भी हैं हम जुदा, मैं क्या कहूँ
ना जाने वक़्त की मर्ज़ी है क्या
क्यूँ है मिली ये दूरीयाँ
ओ मेरी जान, ओ मेरी जान
ओ मेरी जान, ओ मेरी जान

तेरे बिन जो दिन आया, काटे ना वो कट पाया
कमी तेरी खल सी जाती है
तेरे बिन जो शाम आई, बढ़ी दिल की तन्हाई
मेरी आँखें भर सी आती हैं
कुछ तुम मुझसे खफा, कुछ मैं भी हूँ
है क्या इसकी वजह, मैं क्या कहूँ
ना जाने वक़्त की मर्जी है क्या
क्यूँ हैं मिली ये दूरीयाँ
ओ मेरी जान, ओ मेरी जान
ओ मेरी जान, ओ मेरी जान

तुझे दिल से था चाहा, तू ही तो ना मिल पाया
ख़ुशी मुझको छल सी जाती है
मेरा तू था सरमाया, तुझे पाके ना पाया
यही बातें चुभ सी जाती हैं
तनहा तेरी तरह हाँ मैं भी हूँ
दोनों हैं ग़मज़दा, मैं क्या कहूँ
ना जाने वक़्त की मर्ज़ी है क्या
क्यूँ है मिली ये दूरीयाँ
ओ मेरी जान, ओ मेरी जान
ओ मेरी जान, ओ मेरी जान

In tough times....

Tough times do last long, you don't know when they will get over...
Be prepared for a longer journey in troubled waters, whenever you see them coming...

Goal <--> Dream

A goal is a dream with a deadline...
Dreams have no deadline, you can turn them into reality anytime in your lifetime.
Define your goals with timelines and specific milestones...

Care or Don't Care

When you give up on someone, its not that you no longer care for them, but its that you have realized, irrespective of whatever you do, they don't care.... 

Prep for Convocation MBA Core 2010-12

वो bunk का चस्का, वो Professor को मस्का
वो Marks के झटके, लगते कड़के
वो Exams का भूत, वो घर के खाने पर लूट
वो last day का जश्न, वो chatting का टशन
वो Professor के पीछे उसका मज़ाक उडाना
वो छुप छुप के लड़कियों को देखना
वो लड़कों को लड़कियों के नाम से चिड़ाना
वो washroom में बाल set करते रहना
कुछ भी कहो दोस्तों इन दिनों का साथ भूल ना जाना

And they say Greece has not defaulted....huh

The private creditors of Greece have accepted a Bond Swap deal, under which they are bound to lose 74% of their investment.
Details:
These investors have accepted, a bond swap such that the new bond they will have, will bear a much lower Face value and lower interest rate and longer maturity. This will lessen the burden on Greece's balance sheet by 100 billion Euros.

 

Imagine a scenario: You lent me INR 100 @ 8% in 2007, I promised to pay 5 years thence say today in March 2012, then God forbid, I am under crisis and unable to pay back and I say take another Credit note from me, of INR 24 and @ 6% payable in 2018. Aint it a DEFAULT?

Remembrance....

तुम बिन जिया जाए कैसे, कैसे जिया जाए तुम बिन
सदियों से लम्बी है रातें, सदियों से लम्बे हुए दिन
आजाओ लौट कर तुम, ये दिल कह रहा है

इस दिल में यादों के मेले हैं, तुम बिन बहुत हम अकेले हैं
आजाओ लौट कर तुम, ये दिल कह रहा है.....

Pani ka katra (drop of water)

पानी का एक कतरा, टपका है आँख से अभी अभी, क्या तुमने मुझे याद किया है अभी अभी
तुमसे मिले ज़माना हुआ हमें, मगर ऐसा लगा कोई मुझसे मिला है अभी अभी....

Federer wins the Dubai Duty Free Championship

When I went to hostel mess, and switched the channel from 9XM to Ten Sports, I was the only one to have a look at the Final of Dubai Open tournament to be played between Federer and Murray, (the latter had defeated World No. 1 Djokovic in straight sets). Got requests to change the match to some Chelsea match, tried to ignore and continue with Dubai Open Final.
But Federer followers are there in the whole part of the world, so Western India is not far off.
I just scrolled around and saw the gals outnumbering guys cheering for Federer, whatttt, I just could not believe, I had now controllable stake over the remote control of Central TV set of Hostel Mess 

Forget all that, Federer won the match and more so 72nd Career title, the author salutes you Roger, I hope you  do not retire before 100 career titles and out of the next 28 at least 10 are Grand Slams. The record against the Scot improved to 7-8. Won the tournament 5th time in 7 Final appearances.
Congrats Federer, Enjoy

Seeking to Comfort you

Do not think that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty... 
If it were otherwise he would never have been able to find those words...
