Sambhar of 69
I had my first real six rupees,
stole it from my father's pants.
went to a madrasi hotel,
to eat the sambhar of 69.
Me and some kadke dost,
had it all and we caught bukhaar,
jimy puked, joey got ulcers,
and Bagga ne maari dakar.
Oh when I went back there now,
the food was as stale as ever,
and though it was 1999,
still the sambhar was being served over there,
that was the worst food of my life.
Therez no use in complaining,
when you got no other place to eat,
rushed in the evening to the doctors clinic, but he too was at the toilet seat, yeah
standing there waiting outside,
nurse told me I will wait forever,
oh and when I held my breath,
I knew that I had to use that loo there
That was the worst food of my life.
Back to the sambhar of 69.
Man I was getting killed,
I was full and restless,
I needed to unwind,
I guess nothing can wait forever...FOREVER

MOGHULS - 3
the Greatest King of India was crowned on a brick seat.
Its not important where you start from but all mattered was where you end.
He was under a man india and indian guru - shishya parampara owe. Akbar was being tought by Bairam Khan. The relationship between him and bairam was different from Kautaliya and Chandra Gupta .... though both wanted to see their disciple as kings their means were contrast.
Bairam never let Akbar get literate (though I rate being educated is more important than just litrate). Some say he wanted the empire himself while others say he was prey of misunderstanding.
Akbar fought Hemu for his kingdom but i don't think he could have done without bairam.... who faded in history.
But the Disciple was planted deep in the roots on the highest position. Akbar went on to be one of the most revered king india has seen. He did every thing probably babur would ahve done if he had time.
He did what should be done and what shouldn't be done. Yes i'm talking about the gift he got from the sufi saint " Salim Chisti" and in turn he asked akbar to shift to sikri a village near Agra. But his gift was a curse, the same son who was named after the saint revolted for a women he forcibly acquired.
Akbar left him unpunished.... and added a weak brick in this magnificient structure.....

the man Babur loved more than his life. He was born weak and sick (he had epilepcy). He was one kid who had kohinoor as a toy but never bothered about it. for him it was paper weight or door stopper.
After his father left him this great empire, he fought enemy which was created by his father "sher shah", the brave governor of bengal. Man who gave india Grand trunk road. I personlly believed (based on no fact) that he could have been great.
Humayun fought for his kingdom keeping his family in North Western region. He died, when he slipped from his library steps while aazaan - muslim prayer was called.

so it catches your attention.... don't think too hard its the real name of Babur (the lion)
He was able to plant his foot in India because hindus post sultanate's attrocities and relegious partiality gave way to Babur (though he was also muslim but for better future, they thought and their guess was right)
Babur the desendent of Timur and Genghis Khan! so what was expected of him.
But he was just a guest who later took our own home, for good or bad lord knows. An excellent strategician with a brave heart. Sure he did every thing like what genghiz khan would have done but he was different. to quote an example he laid the Ram Bagh in memory of the victory.
I realised that he was like every great king should be .... a person with vision, plans and firm foot but he had one weak link ....... Humayun.
The legend goes that Humayun was close to death... babur prayed to lord and ask him to take his life instead of Humayun's. I personally don't know any son who is worth this wish.
His prayers were accepted and lord gave health to humayun and took Babur.

I thought over it and changed..
The name of this log was earlier "Critical Observation" but i changed it because
being critical would be to see the present and the past but not the future.
being critical would be to see imperfection but not the possibilitites.
never criticism is good - no criticism is good
and i changed it to "strokes on the key board"
Because by doing this I wish to create music like pianist, guitarist
and show an impression of my thought like the brush of the painter.
i thought over it and changed.... thinking can help in change for good..... start thinking..... every thing will change..... do think.......
thoughts ahve changed us and will change us. thoughts of moon landing, thoughts of cloning, thoughts of revolutions, thoughts of development, thoughts of struggle and many more....... mind is like time bomb which is waiting to be activated and when it will blast it will the world along with it.
God Bless all readers!!

Marketing Lesson....
Leave aside 7 Ps and Kotler's theory and any thing like this....
But for sure remember these 3 Cs = Convince; Confuse and Corrupt.
First try to convince, if u fail try to confuse but even then u fail then corrupt.wow how is that for a sales man wala funda..............
But here goes the credit wala answer
Compliance is better than Conflict.... now answer that........

Who Moved my Mind?? (I Don't Like Cheese)
Last night was something.
The day started as usual month end day.... ( by the way I work with a bank) and work kept coming and coming. Yeah in my case it actually comes through emails. Emails used to bring smailes to my face (it still does but now its my official id that pains me).
I still don't have a house, i live in a hotel for now close to 40 days, in anticipation of approval for shifting to jodhpur. My room has all that i ever wanted! i.e. TV. And with TV around I feel there is an old friend i know living with me, waiting for me, to come and he share his days experiences. Wow who said money can't buy u friends .... but from money one can buy another friend apart from books (books are man's best friend) and i.e. TV. I must get over the love when i see my ORSON.... don't try hard to remember the name. its some brand of SONY whom Akio Morita (god bless his soul) would have forgotten.
The arabic channel is now-a-days my hot favourite, as it is excluded from obscenity and thus clean entertainment is what i derive. I feel some times the fundamental way of living is most simplistic and in long term benefit. wow another quote u will find some time in future.The movie on it was "The Legend of 1900", for some reason i can't get over that movie. Allow me to tell u a brief plot of story. in least words it can be said that it is about a guy who grew up on a ship (named "virginia") travelling and transporting poor european immigrants and rich americans but the catch is he never stepped on land. Hows that for a story???Men - women came and went but he remained, untill he got his hands on PIANO!! He played liked god and it is said that his music has fire. Literally!!But what moved me, was the fact that his fear to go to land.
We all have fears of unseen things and comfort zones, but this movie took it to an extent that the protaganist never leaves ship even after a threat that the ship will be blown away saying "Land is too big a ship for me" and " I'm used to, of keys in piano, which end but it seems land has no end".
Thought only makes me sink like "virginia"....

POETIC strokes.......
This is it,
this is it,
u think i care a shit.
get it right
there's no fight
from my side
there's nothing to decide.
this isn't my life I want,
this makes me cry
I keep thinking of you
why you left me dry.
this isn't my fight
which is the way, left or right
no eyes and no ears
and a mind full of fears.
someone push from behind
and i was part of the grind
lookin for a way out
all I see is black out.
Life is fight I realise
always lookin for disguise.
must i do, what i do?
what i do, is it wise?
looking back at times
my life was all crimes.
i prayed for redemption and
bullshitin as the day arrives.
(me as i'm sitting in my first day of Corporate world)
