"Ek aur din ka gap de dete to kya 3rd World War ho jata tha kya........"
And then..
Just as I was about to retire,
Just as I was to extinguish the fire,
A thought flashed into my mind,
That I was to leave my college days behind.
Those were the days of fun and frolic,
Those were the days of gifts and gossip,
Those were the days of bunking the classes,
Those were the days of cheering with tea glasses.
Days of bowing down before seniors in first year,
Days of fearing EDC and NT the next year,
Days of running behind Profs for internals in third year,
Days of preparing for MBA and Campus the last year.
Now, these days will never come by,
Now, well never do Assignment ki Chapayee,
Now, in the canteen, well never have samosa and tea,
Now, in the gathering, well never dance to the rhythm of beats.
No hyaaa t screaming in the class,
No aero plane flying towards the dais,
No linking of girls name with that of a boy,
No fresher parties full of masti and joy.
But these days have taught us to take pride,
And also to take success and failure in our stride,
They have brought out our hidden talent,
They have taught us to be independent.
There are so many memories to take away home,
There are so many friends that I am not alone,
There are so many contacts in my INBOX
There are so many messages on Sign-off.
The extra tuitions, the Internship training,
The Industrial tour, the canteen chatting,
The VII SEM seminar transparency,
The VIII SEM project: FACTS and FANTASY.
The Exam form, the Express coffee,
The Result day, the Class party,
The writing on the desk, the writing on the wall,
The cheating in exams, fearing one and all.
All these yaadein are there forever,
All the GFs-BFs, may there love be forever,
The DOSTS and YAARS may change NEVER,
Remember the movie we saw together!
So, Just as I was about to retire,
Just as I was to extinguish the fire,
Another thought flashed into my mind,
That this part of the tape will never REWIND.

Pakistan's Junoon light up Kashmir
Pakistan's Junoon light up Kashmir | |
Journalist Zahid Rafiq witnessed a controversial concert in Indian-administered Kashmir at which star billing went to Pakistani band Junoon, which is well-known for publicly raising controversial issues such as HIV/Aids, the Kashmir dispute etc. Women and men watched from separate enclosures (Photos: Farooq Khan) Kashmir has never seen a music event like it. Every guitar riff made bodies sway in passion. The thumping of the bass speakers matched the beating of the fans' hearts. Feet tapped, heads rocked, lips were in sync with the lyrics. Junoon, one of the best Pakistani bands, was live on stage in Indian-administered Kashmir beside the shimmering waters of Srinagar's Dal Lake. People had waited anxiously for Junoon's lead singer, Salman Ahmad, to appear in Sunday's concert. Even before he sang the first note of his famous song, "Yaaro yehi dosti hay", the audience was on its feet. Fans pressed closer to the stage. "I gave the security a slip and entered into the VIP enclosure. I wouldn't even mind the commandos hitting me," one student, Beenish, told me. "I wanted to catch a glimpse of Salman. I just love him and just imagine - he has come from Pakistan." Opposition The concert had been organised by a non-government organisation, the South Asia Foundation. Salman Ahmad had to sing Junoon's best known song twice It was also a part of celebrations held to mark the inauguration of the Kashmir Study Institute at Kashmir University. Junoon, a Sufi pop band, is the first international group to perform in the conflict-torn Kashmir for the past two decades. The event - for which entrance was by invitation card only - caused political controversy. Leading Kashmiri militant, Syed Salahuddin, head of the Hizb-ul Mujahideen group, had urged the Pakistan government not to allow Junoon to travel to Srinagar. He argued that the performance would have a negative impact on the "disputed status" of Kashmir and would send a wrong signal to the international community that "Kashmir was an integral part of India". The student union body of the Kashmir University had also protested against the concert. As a result, many students stayed away. The South Asia Foundation had anticipated up to 10,000 people in the audience. But the numbers were well below that. But that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of those who did attend. One young man who hadn't received an invitation card managed to secure one for 500 rupees ($12). "I bought the card from the money I had to pay for my tuitions but missing the concert was not an option. I had to make it here today," he said, gesturing to me to keep quiet. "I want to hear him sing "Bulla shah". In a separate enclosure, girls were up on their feet, their arms outstretched and hair flying. "It is amazing. This is the first concert I have attended and it is great," one said. The heavy security did spoil the day for some. "I felt like dancing sometimes but the number of guns around constantly made me feel that I am not welcome here," one student, Asif, said. "The security guards pushing the people from the audience never let me go into the musical mode." The high-point of the concert was Junoon's first chartbuster and their most famous song "Sayonee". (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwbZbWFdh0g) Even the VIP area was rocking. No one could resist joining in. Farooq Abdullah, former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, was the first one to sing along from the VIP area. He made Director General of police, Kuldeep Khoda, raise his hands too. And then, the other dignitaries joined in. The audience made Salman sing "Sayonee" again and this time the entire audience joined in. It was a concert that will stay long in the memory. |
Management Lesson !!!
One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.
At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight,built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.
Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened - Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the next.
This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff.
By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about himself. So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't pay!"
The driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, "And why not?"
With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a bus pass."
Management Lesson: "Be sure there is a problem in the first place before working hard to solve one."
