prateeksha by Harivansh Rai Bachchan (प्रतीक्षा)

(Madhur prateeksha hi jab itni, priya tum aate tab kya hota)

मधुर प्रतीक्षा ही जब इतनी, प्रिय तुम आते तब क्या होता?

मौन रात इस भांति कि जैसे, कोई गत वीण पर बज कर,
अभी-अभी सोई खोई-सी, सपनों में तारों पर सिर धर
और दिशाओं से प्रतिध्वनियाँ, जाग्रत सुधियों-सी आती हैं,
कान तुम्हारे तान कहीं से यदि सुन पाते, तब क्या होता?

तुमने कब दी बात रात के सूने में तुम आने वाले,
पर ऐसे ही वक्त प्राण मन, मेरे हो उठते मतवाले,
साँसें घूमघूम फिरफिर से, असमंजस के क्षण गिनती हैं,
मिलने की घड़ियाँ तुम निश्चित, यदि कर जाते तब क्या होता?

उत्सुकता की अकुलाहट में, मैंने पलक पाँवड़े डाले,
अम्बर तो मशहूर कि सब दिन, रहता अपने होश सम्हाले,
तारों की महफिल ने अपनी आँख बिछा दी किस आशा से,
मेरे मौन कुटी को आते तुम दिख जाते तब क्या होता?

बैठ कल्पना करता हूँ, पगचाप तुम्हारी मग से आती,
रगरग में चेतनता घुलकर, आँसू के कणसी झर जाती,
नमक डलीसा गल अपनापन, सागर में घुलमिलसा जाता,
अपनी बाँहों में भरकर प्रिय, कण्ठ लगाते तब क्या होता?

Read this today, after first line was posted by friend on facebook. Great poem, by bachchan ji, and I remember one line...

Mitti ka tan, masti ka man, kshan-bhar jivan — mera parichay

Everybody got Mitti ka tan and kshan-bhar-jivan, but whoever got masti ka man, lives his "kshan-bhar jivan", Rest all just ... dont live their life.

Google Instant - Harmful for earth ??

Few months ago I came across an article in which Google tries to refute the results of a research done by Alex Wissner-Gross, a Harvard University physicist. Alex estimated that each Google earch produces around 7 grams of Carbon dioxide. Google estimates the figure around 0.2 grams. John Buckley, managing director of carbonfootprint.com, estimated that it can produce 1 gram to 10 gram or CO2 depending upon the complexity of search.

Well lets go with the numbers as stated by Google. (I don't know if there are updated figures, please let me know if so). Each google search takes around 0.2 grams of CO2, and saves a lot of CO2 by providing you so and so information because you don't have to waste energy in other processes to get the same information. Fine! But what about Google Instant. When a single search converts into more than 10-15 searches. As I know my average length of my search strings should be atleast 15 characters. Even though if it reduces by Google instant by 2-3 characters, I will still end up doing atleast 12 searches instead of one. And we are still not talking about typos and backspaces here. So how Google is thinking on saving our environment. I don't expect them to read this, as there are not many visitors to my blog, but I am sure they will find out this soon and will try to do something about this. And then all Google lovers including me will love it even more!

Getting Some Traffic - Dabangg, Salman Khan and Mumbai Attack

Strange title!!! What I am doing is something that Salman Khan did. Got some traffic for his latest release, "Dabangg" by commenting something which could become masala Item for media. I don't think it mattered for anybody what the comment was. For salman and movie financer/director/producer it was a popularity stunt to get traffic. For media channels its always like that. They could finally got some TRP from sports channel which agains spent millions of dollars by showing the now boring Champions League. For shivsena it was again something to show their presence in mumbai. I somewhere read a facebook like status (read facebookish status) - Shivsena likes Salman's apology for his comment. Awesome!!! Traffic for everyone... Profit for everyone...
and we also got to spend some time out of our boring life on this masala.

Best part is that I am also hoping some traffic by using all the above keywords in my blog. So I must say, comments like such should be rewarded lavishly.

Since you have read it I would like to tell you that I cculdn't was the movie for more than 3 minutes after Salman Khan's Entry. For detailed reviews you can use Google Instant. :)

Why I am back

Life's like maths but a little rounder... So problems you solved earlier might come back... and that too in more complicated form.

I think writing again can make me better again (read - I was getting corrupted in past few years).

And why I am not writing for myself again. Well this is an inspiration I got from someone. That inspiration is complicated, so I am just gonna say - If writing something can make me better, It might make you better as well.

And why should you read it!!! Not the above line, as you might feel differently. Read if you get some fun or ... some "goodness" !!!

Old Description of the Blog

One of my mathematics teacher used to say... "When I was in 10th i thought I knew all the maths, when I came to graduate level, I thought there is something I didn't know about, and when I completed my Phd, i knew that I dont know anything about maths." ... Adding to this I say... life's like maths.

Other than this description, I'll write here for myself. but you can always read and comment.
Enjoy...

Why Enigma ?

Other than enjoying the great songs, have you ever spent some time in understanding the mysterious names of the songs.

Well It happened with me third time today... that winamp automatically played a song which I never heard before, and by the music I got a sense of the name of the song.

First it was Knocking on forbidden doars, though the feeling was "trying some thing which will never happen" rather than "trying something which is forbidden".

Then it was Dancing With Mephisto, where i sensed some evil thing in the music...

And today it was "Water (creativity)" where i sensed some kind of flowing river, though not the creative thing. And I don't know if there is a song by enigma name "water" or "water (without creativity)"...

Hats of to the best project of the world

My Computer Specifications

I was entering my profile at daniweb community and where there was an option to specify computer configuration
so here they are:

A very nice computer with very good con-figure
silent features are:
gra-un-fixed
a sound driver without a sound car(d)
so data travels through buses (no car(d)s u know) following traffic rules (speed limit 50 kmph, stops at each red light and zebra crossings)
a very intel-i-gent-professor (profs know theory only- no calculation)
with (very very) hard disk (did i mis-spell, u know c and s are very confucing)
and a very broad internet connection (broader is crossection, less is the pressure and slower is the speed of fluid-equation of continuity)
