I AM AMONGST THE LIVING...


It's been ages since I last blogged.

I started to burn out. Been extremely busy.
My plans for the dinners with Juhi came to a halt when I couldn't get time.
I was in the dumps...

I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.
A lot of us struggle to find our place in society.
Some may never find it.... not to say me.

But one thing is for certain. I will hang on to writing.

No matter how bad things may seem.
Whether I'm talented enough for the job...
I'll just keep writing.

I know many people don't believe that I can do this well...
But eventually... it falls back on me and whether I'm willing to put in some work to hone my craft.
I wish life was a bed of roses... but it seems there are more thorns now.

Anyhow...tomorrow, many more jobs await completion...

Whatever happens... happens.
I'm just going to put in the work.
See what turns out.
If they are cool with it, thank God.
They are not... thank God again...

I know...I know...I dont believe in him...

I gotta concentrate on my life...
I don't want to be 20 and still wander around thinking what is in it for me in life. I dont want to live for all but myself anymore.

I think I have to do something soon.
Maybe I can write that book.
Eventually, I'll get somewhere.

I just hope things are just going to be okay.
And I am hoping for the best...

Till Next
Love
Ciao

Wo dekho ek Engineer chala ja raha hai...


Here is a poem on an Engineer... It is (obviously) not an original. However, it remains very close...


Apne Project ke bojh tale dabaa ja raha hai
Wo dekho ek engineer chala ja raha hai...

Zindagi se hara hua hai, Par schedule se haar nahi manta,
Apne Area ki ek ek beam isne analyse ki hai,
par aaj kaun se rang ke 'socks' pehne hain, ye nahi jaanta,
Din par din ek excel sheet banata ja raha hai,
Wo dekho ek engineer chala ja raha hai...

Piperack mein failed beams dhoond leta hai par,
Majboor dost ki aankhon ki nami dikhayi nahi deti,
PC pe hazaar windows khuli hain,
Par dil ki khidki pe koi dastak sunayi nahi deti,
Sunday nahata nahi, week days ko naha raha hai,
Wo dekho ek engineer chala ja raha hai...

Kitabon me gulab rakhne wala , Outlook mein red flag lagaa raha hai,
Dil ki zameen se armaano ki vidayi ho gayi,
Din bhar mails ke jawaab de raha hai,
Weekends pe daroo peke jo jashn mana raha hai,
Wo dekho ek engineer chala ja raha hai...

Maze lena ho iske to poochh lo,
"Salary Increment" ki party kab de rahe ho,
Hansi udana ho to pooch lo,
"On site" kab ja rahe ho?
Wo dekho Foreign se laute team-mate ki chocolates kha raha hai,
Wo dekho ek engineer chala ja raha hai...

Kharche bad rahe hain, Baal kam ho rahe hain,
Salary ki date ati nahi,
Income Tax ke sitam ho rahe hain,
Lo phir se bus chhoot gayi, Auto se aa raha hai,
Wo dekho ek engineer chala ja raha hai...

Pizza gale se nahi utarta,
To "Coke" ke sahare nigal liya jata hai,
Office ki "Thaali" dekh muh banata hai,
Maa ke haath ka khana use roz yaad aata hai,
"Sprout Bhel" bani hai phir bhi, Free "Evening Snacks" kha raha hai,
Wo dekho ek engineer chala ja raha hai....

Aapne ab tak li hongi bahut si chutikiyan,
ek engineer ke jivan ka sach batati ye aakhri kuch panktiyan,
Hazaron ki tankhwah wala, Company ki karodon ki jeb bharta hai,
ek engineer wahi ban sakta hai, Jo lohe ka jigar rakhta hai,
Hum log jee jee ke marte hain , Zindagi hai kuch aisi,

Ek fauj ki naukri, doosri ek Engineer ki ,Dono ek jaisi,
Is kavita ka har shabd mere dil ki gehrayi se aa raha hai,
Wo dekho ek engineer chala ja raha hai...
