The Lost Dragon

When you have A burning secret, Don't you have an urge To leak it? Yes, why share is A mystery. But let me tell you My history. I never liked Having to hide. But knew I needed To stay inside. Because, if ever, I dared come out, The risk was too high Of things I could spout. If I weren't always Out of sight, Then I'd spill secrets Left and right. So, being isolated By my choice Seemed much safer Than using my voice. Because, like me, Others were weak. All their secrets, They needed to speak. So it came out, Out to me. I'm the keeper, Don't you see? I hold secrets Large and small. What I know Could make men fall. From petty theft To cheating flings, There's quite a variety Of things. Of course, these secrets I'd never say. I try to keep them Locked away. Let's hope I'm not Trying in vain, Because I can inflict Enormous pain. The information I keep concealed Could all too easily Become revealed. I can cause Loads of trouble: Strong foundations Smashed ...

Its been celebration time all over and there had been so many lunches and dinners lately. Its such a wonderful feeling to get together to see your loved ones once again and cherish the wonderful moments of this precious life. But such wonderful moments people mix it with drinks (the hard ones). May be its their way of celebrating but surely its ain't really worthed. I mean, why would you want to lose your consciousness. Different people have different reasons to drink. Some drink for passion, some drink lightly, some due to some deep sorrows, some just drink because others are drinking, some do because that's makes them cool, etc. etc. etc. There is no end to list. I was questioned back it in terms of eating non-vegetarian food when I have the option of vegetarian food all around. I don't know about others, but I eat because I think I am not doing any wrong and its a part of diet. And I like it too. But I am not somebody who just goes around hunting for a chicken everyd...

I am a lonely path of broken dreams, it is a heaven that I am searching for. All these stars seem soo dull to me, it is the moon that I am searching for. Happiness is so angry at me, its Life that I'm searching for. There is a crowd around me at all times, it's a Friend that I'm searching for. My life if just like path, its a destination that I'm searching for. Don't know what is it that I've lost, may be its ME that I'm searching for.!! -- Sent by Lynx long time back

इक बात होंटों तक है जो आई नहीं बस आँखों से है झांकती तुमसे कभी, मुझसे कभी कुछ लफ्ज़ हैं वो मांगती जिनको पहनके होंटों तक आ जाए वो आवाज़ की बाहों में बाहें डालके इठलाये वो लेकिन जो यह इक बात है अहसास ही अहसास है खुशबू सी है जैसे हवा में तैरती खुशबू जो बे-आवाज़ है जिसका पता तुमको भी है जिसकी खबर मुझको भी है दुनिया से भी छुपता नहीं यह जाने कैसे राज़ है | पिघले नीलम सा बहता हुआ ये समां नीली नीली सी खामोशियाँ न कहीं है ज़मीन न कहीं आसमान सरसराती हुई टहनियां, पत्तियां कह रही हैं की बस एक तुम ही हो यहाँ सिर्फ मैं हूँ मेरी सांसें हैं और मेरी धडकनें ऐसी गहराइयाँ ऐसी तन्हैयाँ और मैं सिर्फ मैं अपने होने पे मुझको यकीन आ गया | जब जब दर्द के बादल छाए जब घूम के साया लहराए जब आंसू पलकों तक आये जब यह तनहा दिल घबराये हमने दिल को समझाया... दिल आखिर तू क्यूँ रोता है दुनिया में युही होता है यह जो गहरे सन्नाटे हैं वक़्त ने सबको ही बांटे हैं थोडा गम है सबका किस्सा थोड़ी धूप है सबका हिस्सा आँख तेरी बेकार ही नाम है हर पल एक नया मौसम है क्यों तू ऐसे पल खोता है दिल आखिर तू क्यूँ रोता है | दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबिय...

No one can see the pain that we hide, They're happy for us to keep it inside, Our fear is our own; they don't want to know, Why should we involve them; why should it show. You live your whole life in confusion and fear, The need to feel something unbearably near, Half of you living, Half of you gone, And inside you know what your doing is wrong. The thing's that can help, the thing's that may heal, Are the flame or the blade and the sting of the steel, The destruction of skin means the death of your soul, But there's nowhere to run when your living alone.

One thing that I surely believe is "Necessities drive Innovation". But, one has to think different at crucial times to be innovative. Well, that's not a subject of discussion for this. But it does originate from that idea. Just before our monthly release and when everything is all prepared, we found a bug in the code. GOD, how many times we test, where do they make their way. Anyways, we needed something which required no code changes as the code is already delivered. We only had database with us to play. Basically our problem was, we needed the first record from the set of two records based on a values in VARCHAR field. That means, we needed to apply some ordering to the records based on the values. But, ORDER BY only supports Alphabetic ordering on the values. But, that's what we generally know. Because we wanted to order the records in the manner we specify, we had to look for some solution. And we did find an interesting stuff at Jmatrix.net that allows us to s...

Love trascends all boundaries... And people are really transcending in love... What can I say... Its everywhere. Gone are the days when families decide the life partner for their children. Today, the families accept the choices of their children. Sometimes its fruitful for everyone, sometimes its otherwise. Sometimes family decisions over-power love, sometimes love threatens families. Yes, I have been listening to the stories of all kind... Real one's though. The recent visit of Sweety here clearly gives this indication. There was time when the girls have nothing to say when it came to their marriages. They even don't get to see their partner's pic as well till the first night of their marriage ("Suhaag Raat"). Today, so much is different. Forget about the picture, both of them already know each other so very well.. in and out. Some time back, guys used to travel to meet their sweethearts; today, girls are not holding back in any sense. In fact, they are travellin...
