A poem on time

हर ख़ुशी है लोगों के दामन में पर एक हंसी के लिए वक़्त नहीं
दिन रात दौड़ती दुनिया में ज़िन्दगी के लिए ही वक़्त नहीं
माँ की लोरी का एहसास तो है पर माँ को माँ कहने का वक़्त नहीं
सारे रिश्तों को तो हम मार चुके हैं पर अब उन्हें दफ़नाने का वक़्त नहीं
सारे नाम मोबाइल में हैं पर दोस्ती के लिए वक़्त नहीं
गैरों की क्या बात करें जब अपनों के लिए ही वक़्त नहीं
आँखों में है नींद बड़ी पर सोने का भी वक़्त नहीं
दिल है ग़मों से भरा पर रोने का भी वक़्त नहीं
पैसों की दौड़ में ऐसे दौड़े की थकने का भी वक़्त नहीं
पराये एहसास की क्या कद्र करें जब अपने सपनो के लिए ही वक़्त नहीं
तू ही बता ऐ ज़िन्दगी इस ज़िन्दगी का क्या होगा
की हर पल मरने वालों को जीने के लिए भी वक़्त नहीं

An apt quote

I feel like I am not anyone's first choice. Neither their favourite. Even if people tell me I'm important to them or I mean a lot to them, I know there is always someone they prefer to be with. Someone they chose over me. And that's hurt... a lot.

What my "The Ultimate Career Personality test" says about me

Just browsing through the Delicious bookmarks, I found out this link for Career personality test . Gave it a try and here is what my report was... From the answers you have just provided in the personality questionnaire Deepak Shakya, it's already clear that you need to work in a place where people come first. You work hard at creating harmony because people are important to you. You care how people feel about things. Your job must offer you this Deepak Shakya. It is essential that the company, its managers and its employees value and respect the people that work there. You cannot work in a place that doesn't trully value its people. Not everyone needs this from their work. In fact many people would struggle to understand the importance of it but not you. Well, I personally don't take these kind of opinions, but I guess this is very true from whatever I have experienced in last one year or so.

End of an Era with Countless Memories

I come from middle class background and for us, even small things have a special place in heart. Not because there aren't any new alternatives, just because the memories associated with them. And when Bajaj announced that they are are going to stop the production of scooter, it surely marked the end of an era. My father got this Bajaj Super (Pehelwan - we love to call it that way) before my birth in Kanpur and ever since he just another member of the family. And always the most reliable one. My father still drives it much more pride than the recent addition to XCD into the list. 22 Years of service and still going good guns. I don't know how my father decided on that green color, but it looks perfectly awesome on it. Any other thing and I would have hated that thing. I can't forget how we all used to fit into our Pehelwan. Bangalore time was so much fun. We used to travel all the way to Rattanvilas Road, Basavangudi for the congregation, then off to Jalhali to, then to Gang...
