Koi bhoola sakta kissi ko bhool jane ke baad ?

Just read a poem which i liked instantly,
so, posting it for you guys to read n breed in joy !!

Koi bhoola sakta kissi ko bhool jane ke baad !
Koi samane aa jaye kissi ko yaad karne ke baad
Kyun chhod diya hamara saath kyaa hum ne galati ki!
Khudaa bhi maaf kar deta hai gunaah hone ke baad

Kyun aate ho hamein yaad kyun tadpate ho mujhe
Aadmi khushh hota nahin har ek khushi milne ke baad!
Mohabbat ke safar mein kitne door chale gaye hein jab hum
Kyun wapis pukarte ho manzil ke qareeb aane ke baad

Aansoo hein kumzor saahara mere jeewon ka
Kyun aate ho pochhne aankhein sookh jane ke baad!
Na manaa karo hamein pyaar karne se tujh ko
Kyun loag baagawat karte hain pyaar karne ke baad !

Kar le deedaar apne mehboob ka ji bhar ke kar!
Koi aata nahin milne qabarr mein jaaney ke baad!
Koi kissi ka haal-e-dil jaan nahin sakta
Murdaa jism hi jaanta hai qabarr mein jane ke baad!

Izzat , zillat , gunaah , sawaab kyaa hai koi baata de !
Na aana chahta koi duniya mein qayamat dekhne ke baad!
Koi bhoola sakta kissi ko bhool jane ke baad!
Koi samane aa jaye kissi ko yaad karne ke baad !

Hum Dono ki Jodi Khoob Jamegi !!

Wrote this poem in naa jaane kaun si mind....
If its enjoyable, then let me know guys !!

Woh gori thhi, main kaala thha
woh bholi thhi, main bhaala thha
dekhne waale sabhi yeh kehtey
hum dono ki jodi khoob jamegi !!

woh thhumak ke chalti, dil mera ghayal hota
maadak bhari aankhon me, behosh mein ho jaata
aankh maarne ki kalaa, na jaane kaha se seekhi
aake mujhpe try jo kiya, mein bhalaa kahaa k rehta?

andaaz thhe uske aise, hazaar diwaane thhe paagal
main bhi ban gaya, unn paagalon me mein bhi ek paagal
choti si bindi, doh kangan aur paaon me choti si paayal
karte rehte thhe hamesha mujhko, bekaar me ghaayal !!

dekhne waale sabhi yeh kehtey
hum dono ki jodi khoob jamegi
aur tabhi mammi ne mujhe jagaa liya
boli, utth jaao, padhai karne baitho
warna papa se jordaar pitaai padegi !!!
:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
hum dono ki jodi khoob jamegi
kya khaak jamegi ....??

Expecting my blog to reach out to you, girl !!

 I dont know what's love. Coz I have felt nice things about many girls. But as they have come and gone, likewise my feelings towards them has come and gone too. Fun while they lasted though ! So, I cant say that was Love ! But you, girl, had never come into my life, though were near me for some time as a friend. But, I don't know why, you are always there in the back of my mind, hovering all around. Everyday, whenever I think of girls and matters of love, many things run in my brains, making me excited but uneasy. Someday it is about some girl and the other day, other. But each and every day, when I thought about such things, you and your images keep striking my mind....each and every time...that-your thoughts, makes me calm, happy. Being a boy, I shouldn't feel so, but your thoughts make me feel 'secure'....a feeling as if I am protected, as if nothing can happen to me...I don't know why, but these things keep happening to me. Is it what everybody keeps calling as Love ??

Then yes, girl, I am in love with you, in love with you since long....since I was a kid... !!

P.S.- ( You know who you are ! Don't you ? Just look at the pic in this post !! )

A Secret Revealed !!

I am a football fanatic. Thus, obviously, I always wanted to venture out into Sports Management. This very fact used to piss my dad off. His point was that there's no future in that discipline. This clash of ideas created a huge friction between me and him. I simply couldn't understand what made him so irritated. Why was he so indifferent towards football ? I didn't knew....untill that fateful day when the secret was revealed !!

One evening there was a fixture (match) between Chelsea, my favorite club and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea. I was watching it on TV. Just then my dad came and sat quietly. I didn't realise his presence until he suggested to change the channel to ETV. I pleaded him to let me watch the match as it was a big reason why i had taken a day off from my college and traveled three hours back to my town. So, reluctantly he sat and watch...

I was feeling nice as he, my dad, was watching football...The stadium was blue all over, the colours of Chelsea. Blue seats, blue flags, blue t-shirts, blue banners, everything blue and people were shouting like anything. I pointed that to my father and told him that these men are not useless...some of them are engineers, some teachers and what not !! If these men are so much passionate about football, who am I ? Its pretty  natural if I love football, and football's not a bad game....it develops our physique and helps our overall persona, blah, blah, blah...and became silent waiting for his response...Not getting any response, I continued watching the game...

After 5 minutes or so, he started talking...He revealed that he used to be a big football fanatic and unlike me who only watches it, he used to be a goal-keeper and represented the state team in his school days....but asthama snatched his potential and game away from him...that was one of his regrets, he couldn't become a football player...and then he was silent....

I just was dumbfounded !! I mean...OMG !! My dad was a footballer !! I simply had no words to say...I just looked at him and he smiled...The ice had broken !! He no more discourages me and whenever he has time, we both watch football with the same passion and fervour !! Dad and Son United !!

Sell your Life, or Perish !!

So, I am here at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar mugging up concepts of Elasticities of Demand on this 17th day at this institute. Basically, very few study and even fewer study hard and I am certainly not one of them...but I am helpless..!! Tomorrow's the Economics Quiz naa...thats why...

We are being told here that in this Banking and Financial Services industry, a fresher has the highest probability of getting a sales job, typically that of a Sales Manager or Relationship Manager or something like that. Now, that's the job which I dread the most yaar !! I anticipate doing anything but not sales !! Oh no !! save me from it !! Isn't there any job out there which doesn't deal with targets ?? Is there any ?? I ask this question often to Industry persons and they say "yes". But they also add that people grow very fast when in Sales and the least in Operations... So what to do, what not to do?

Yes, in this World, Introverts are respected due to their creative abilities, but are never well paid...And what's the use of creative if  "Money Money Money !! Brighter that Sunshine, Sweeter than Honey !! " doesn't come to your pocket ? No use at all !! So, we have to " Sell Ourselves ". We have to sell or we will perish !!

At present it looks like a very impossible task for me, this choosing of Sales profession...but who knows...there might be a miracle !! When I was a kid, I used to say "Anything, but not Sports !!" and when I grew up, now, Football has turned out to be my Life !! When I was at 12th standard, I said, I will study anything but never Business !! I can simply not do that !! But I did my graduation in Business Adminstration !!

Now I was saying "Anything, but not sales"... Eagerly waiting for the miracle to happen again !! 

But then, the words of Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty echoes in my ears.... "Dont wait for the miracle, Be the Miracle !! "

Handling Career Roughly but with Love !!

So here I am after so many days to share a news. I have decided to take admission in the Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar for its Post Graduate Program in Banking and Financial Services which is a 1 year certificate residential program. Actually, for me, this appears to be the best course, provided its being offered by one of the best institutes and that I was not ready for an MBA now. So, I think, this course will help me in getting a foothold in the world of finance.

Another big excuse is my 'ego'...Its so big that it wont let me take admission in any 'chalu MBA' program here at Orissa or anywhere else... I would rather opt to stay a graduate for my whole life rather than doing an MBA just for the sake of doing it and getting a PG degree as soon as possible... After all, an MBA is 'once in a life-time degree' for any management student... So it should be done with elan and from a college that satisfies our ego.

Yes, I know, nobody becomes rich-n-famous just like that only. We have to choose a path that's very different and stick with it.... And to satisfy my ego, I also have heard that those who are big entrepreneurs or have done-whatever and became famous, if you will follow their academics and life path, you wont find a degree of constancy and simpleness in it... Life takes test from everyone else...They have failed many times but never gave away their way and finally...they were whom they wanted to be....So, according to me, its wiser to gain experiences and then do an MBA rather then joining as a fresh graduate...what say?
