तो क्या बात है ...

किताबों के पन्ने पलट के सोचता हूँ यू ही पलट जाये ज़िन्दगी तो क्या बात है.
ख़्वाबों मैं जो रोज़ मिलती है, वो हकीकत मैं आये तो क्या बात है.
कुछ मतलब के लिए ढूंढ़ते है सब मुझको, बिन मतलब जो आये तो क्या बात है.
कत्ल कर के तो सब ले जायेंगे दिल मेरा, कोई बातों से ले जाये तो क्या बात है.
जो शरीफों की सराफत मैं बात न हो, एक शराबी कह जाये तो क्या बात है.
अपने रहने तक तो ख़ुशी दूंगा सबको, जो किसी को, मेरी मौत पर ख़ुशी मिल जाये तो क्या बात है.

Saari umr hum

Saari umr hum
Targets chase kar liye
Ek pal to ab humein
Jeene do Jeene do !!!

Na na na....Na na na....Na na na....Na na nana na....

Give me a Holiday
Give me a break
Give me another chance
I wanna go home once again

Kandhon ko Targets
Ke bojh ne jhukaya
jhoot bolna tho khud
BOSS ne sikhaya

Target complete to chhuti, varna kismat futi Likh likh kar pada hatheli
par Commitments, Escalation Mails, MIs ka chaala

Risk, Product & Credit Team ne poora..
Poora bheja pakka daala

Career to gaya
Biwi bhi gayi
Ek pal to ab humein
Jeene do Jeene do

Saari umr hum
Targets chase kar liye
Ek pal to ab humein
Jeene do Jeene do

Give me a promotion
Give me an increment
Give me some bonus
I wanna see some money again

Na na na....Na na na....Na na na....Na na nana na....

"mera haal poochne ke liye ya kaam poochne ke liye nahi, rathore saab... balki vo ye jaanaa chahti hai ki... kahin hamesha ki tarah end moment par boss ke bulane ki wajah se mein saturday ki date cancel to nahi kar raha...

TV Commercials

There are certain things in your life which leave a lifelong impression in your mind... the things which you can never forget. Sometimes, even small TV commercials (of course, not all.... ;-)) become inevitable part of your life.

Jalebee - one of my all time favourite ad.

Hamara Bajaj - too good music...

Ek Chidiya Anek Chidiya - even Daksh (my kid) like this poem / story now... :)

Mile Sur Mera Tumhara

How it changed...

Here i am sitting in my office @ night...
Thinking hard about life
How it changed from a maverick college life to strict professional life...

How tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks
but then why it gives less happiness...

How a few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe
but then why there are less people to use them

How a single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger
but then why there is less hunger...

Here i am sitting in my office @ night...
Thinking hard about life
How it changed...

How a bike always in reserve changed to bike always on
but then why there are less places to go on...

How a small coffee shop changed to cafe coffee day
but then why its feels like shop is far away...

How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package
but then why there are less calls & more messages...

Here i am sitting in my office @ night...
Thinking hard about life
How it changed...

How a general class journey changed to Flight journey
but then why there are less vacations for enjoyment...

How a old assembled desktop changed to new branded laptop
but then why there is less time to put it on...

How a small bunch of friends changed to office mate
but then why we always feel lonely n miss those college frnz....

Here i am sitting in my office @ night...
Thinking hard about life
How it changed...
How it changed...

With Lot of Change...

Appraisal...

Appraisal ke naam par ek lambi aah bharte hain,
chaliye ab hum is "dukhad" kahani ki shuruat karte hain,

hamehsa ki tarah 10 baje thumakte hue office aya,
11 baje tak nashta kiya aur barah baje tak mail hi padh paya,

hamesha ki tarah aaj bhi mujhe alas aa raha tha,
aur mera PM mujhe tirchi nigaho se dekh-dekh gussa raha tha,

main bade concentration ke sath ek "Careful" mail padh raha tha,
tabhi dekha mere PM ke naam ka new mail kone main blink kar raha tha,

is mail ki amad se itna ghabara raha tha,
ki CLTR + F4 ki jagah shift + F5 daba rah tha,

phir koi trainig attend karni hogi, ye kya bakwas hai,
kya reply maim likh dun ki mere mailbox ka upwas hai ?

maine aankhen band ki aur 10 bar "om" "om" bola,
aur pranam karte hue maine wo mail khola,

PM ke is mail main ek ajeeb sa sukoon aur bholapan hai,
likha hai bhaiyon appraisal letters aa gaye,ab to one-to-one hai,

mujhe lag rah tha vb ke environment pe unix ka code likh diya ho kisi ne,
dil aise dhadak raha tha jaise baar baar dil pe double click kiya ho kisi ne,

man main aise bure bure khayal aa rahe the,
upar se kuch log mere "de-appraisal" ki gandi affvah uda rahe the,

appraisal aise aya jaise India main Michael Jackson aya ho,
jaise Indian football team ne ,Manchester United ko haraya ho,

PM ko letter late dekh har koi use dekhta jata hai,
jaise mallika ke kisi naye gane ko dekha jata hai,

akhir wo waqt aya,
PM ne ek ek kar sabko ander bulaya,

jo bhi ander jata hansta hua jata,
jo bahar ata , murjhaya hua ata,

jo bhi ander jata, sabko dekhte hue jata,
jaise hi bahar ata , sabse mooh chupata,

bahar aa kar insaan sambhal bhi nahi pata hai,
ki "kitna hua kitna mila" har koi uspe toot jata hai,

aisa lagta hai wo room nahi "time machine" ho jo sabke ander leti ho,
aur "good time" se utha kar "bad time" main lakar chod deti ho,

kisi ko appraisal main 2000 rupaye mile the, main uski hansi uda raha tha,
tabhi maine dekha mera PM ishare se mujhe ander bula raha tha,

main confidence se utha aur age kadam badhaya,
tabhi meri belt ka buckle toot ke nikal aya,

meri halat to abhi se hi buri ho gayi,
saala izzat utarni to yahi se shuru ho gayi,

main ander pahuncha aur PM ne mujhe bithaya,
usne mera letter padha aur wo hansi rok na paya,

wo hansne laga aur hansta hi chala gaya,
use yaaron hansi ka thaska a gaya,

wo itna hansa ki use ansu aa gaye,
mere appraisal digits use itne bha gaye,

jaise hi usne appraisal letter meri taraf badhaya,
meri ankhon ke age ghanghor andhera chaya,

mujhe laga jaise meri dil ki deewar ko kisi ne gobar se pota hai,
are yaar "bees rupaye" ? ye bhi koi increment hota hai ?

ye software indusrty hai akhada nahi hai,
ye "SALARY INCREMENT" hai , Dadar ane-jane ka bhada nahi hai,

meri chaaron taraf kali ghata chayi,
tabhi mere PM ki soothing awaz ayi,

tum soch rahe hoge ke companuy mgmt ka dimag phir gaya hai,
par beta hum kya karen , dollar ka bhav 2 rupaye jo gir gaya hai ,

par phir bhi mujhe lagta hai, ye letter fake hai,
mujhe to lagta hai ye printing mistake hai,

tum HR main jao,
aur ye confirm karke ao,

bhai HR main jane ke liye taiyyar hona padta hai,
wahi to aisi jagah hai jahan sunder ladkiyon se pala padta hai,

shitt!! jahan "Ronak" baith ti hai, aaj whan baitha "Aftab" hai,
main samajh gaya beta, aaj apna badluck hi kharab hai,

usne mera letter khola,
aur khush ho ke bola,

wo bola sir aap ke liye khushkhabri hai,
aap ke letter ne "Printing mistake" pakdi hai,

maine kaha boss ab der na lagayen ,
aur mujhe mera actual amount batayen,

sorry sir ye mistake just by accident hai,
bees rupaye nahi , do rupaye aap ka increment hai,

main kya karun aap ko ye batete hue mera dil ro raha hai,
par kya karen dollar ka bhav bhi to kam ho raha hai,

main bas wahan khada tha ,kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha,
mujhse zyada increment to security wala pa raha tha,

maine khud ko sambhala, khud ko uthaya,
main lauta aur seedhe PM ke pass aaya,

main seedha uske cabin gaya aur darwaza khola,
is se pehle ki wo bole, main hi us se bola,

sir ye paise wapis le lijiye, baat karna fizool hai,
main gareeb hun, par bheekh nahi leta ye mera usool hai,


doston ek ant main ek shayari --
"appraisal aisa laddu hai ,jise khane ka har kisi ka khwab hota hai,
par ek bar koi ise kha le , to bada bhayankar julaab hota hai,"

My Old Friend

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,

And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows
I like him just as well,

As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.
