Aankhein teri Kitni haseen
Maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 4
aankhein teri - 2, kitni haseen
ki inkaa aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhako basaa le, iname tu
(ishq hai
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 2) - 3
ki inakaa aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhako basaa le, iname tu
mujhase yeh har ghadi, meraa dil kahe
tum hi ho usaki aarzoo
mujhase yeh har ghadi, mere lab kahe
teri hi ho sab guftagoo
baatein teri itni haseen, main yaad inko jab kartaa hoon
phoolon si aaye, khushaboo
rakh loon chhupaa ke main kahin tujhako
saayaa bhi teraa naa main doon
rakh loon banaa ke kahin ghar, main tujhe
saath tere, main hi rahoon
julfen teri, itni ghani
dekh ke inako, yeh sochataa hoon
saaye me, inake main jiyoon
(ishq hai
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 2) - 3
(meraa dil yahi bolaa, meraa dil yahi bolaa,
yaara raaj yeh usane hai mujh par kholaa
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil mein
usko pasand karta hai maulaa) - 3

Lyrics of Hairat Song
Dheemi dheemi chalne lagi hain ab hawaein
Dheemi dheemi khulne lagi hain aaj raahein
Rangne lage hain manzil ko jaane ke raah saare
Jaise aasman ke cheente pade ho banke sitaare
Dheemi dheemi roshni si beh rahi hai inn hawaon mein yahaan
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Shaam hui koi jo noor aa gaya
Yahaan ho gayi hai subah
Raat ka naam o nishaan tak nahi kahin
Hai sehar har jagah
Khoyi khoyi khwabon mein
Chupi chupi khwaishein
Naram se ret pe geeli geeli baarishein
Lipta hoon raahon mein
Raahon ki baahon mein
Hai ab meri jagah
Kal pe cha gaya dhuan
Yeh jo pal naya hua
Ho gayi shuru nayi daastaan
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Dheemi dheemi chalne lagi hain ab hawaein
Dheemi dheemi khulne lagi hain aaj raahein
Rangne lage hain manzil ko jaane ke raah saare
Jaise aasman ke cheente pade ho banke sitaare
Dheemi dheemi roshni si beh rahi hai inn hawaon mein yahaan
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai

CWG: Isn't it a Bank bharo chance for Indian politicians & Contractors?
"I have seen many games like Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and the Olympic Games in China. Compared to that, it's not up to the mark. I'm sure before October 3, it will be ready and people will like it but in comparison to those Games, things are not up to the mark."

Delhi Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta said the bridge would be rebuilt in 10 days, just in time for the opening ceremony on Oct 3.
"The bridge was constructed by Hyderabad-based PNR Infra at a cost of Rs.5 crore (Rs.50 million/$1 million). Construction was to be completed in two-three days," Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan told IANSSource: http://sports.in.msn.com/othersports/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4410884&page=2
CWG Authority: Complaints that stray dogs were jumping on the beds, that the towers were full of rubbish and that the toilets were filthy came in from the contingents. But Indian officials dismissed these complaints, saying these things happen everywhere before major events and "standards of hygiene differ" from country to country.
Being a tax payer of this country I have all right to remind you that world media is blaming you..
It is the question of Quality and pride!!!
Shame on you!!

SHReK
I like this Movie and the song too...
Bruce eddy @ a4u gave me this song in 2007.. listened this song many times.. thinking it as a normal church song. However recently I watched fantastic Shrek in which the song goes..
Thanks Bruce.. I am remembering you when ever I listen this.
Thanks Siva... for recommending this movie.
You will be remembered.... forever.
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
And it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah [x4]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah [x4]
Baby I've been here before, I know this room
I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah [x4]
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you ?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah [x4]
Maybe there's a God above,
and all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah [x8]

AR Rahman criticized
Oscar winning music composer AR Rahman has come under heavy criticism for his latest composition which is the theme song of the upcoming Commonwealth games.
Many politicians and fans of Rahman believe that the said theme song does not match up to the genius of Rahman. They are also miffed by the fact that it took six months and Rs 5 crore for Rahman to come up with such a shoddy composition.
Now, Rahman is re-working on the song since it lacks any appeal. The organisers now want Rahman to compose the CWG theme song on the level of the recent FIFA theme song waka waka which became an instant hit across the globe.

Is it really paid off?
I was coming from outstation and it was 2AM at Uppal-Hyderabad. You can not expect public transport at that time. I need to go to Secunderabad station. No autos at least. I stood there for a while and I was really on my _ss. Situation is really annoying me. I found a Mazda truck stopping for a distance. I ran to the vehicle and asked for lift. Driver accepted to give lift without any other word. I just got in and sat. He tuned FM radio on, there was some Hindi song “Mere Nasib Mein Aye Dost..” Did he really come for my help? No words between us for next 20 Minutes, I was listening the song and just thinking of my experiences. I thanked him sincerely and got down at Secunderabad.
When I get late to home from office I see lot of people waiting for buses and autos at bus stops. Some raise hands for lift. When it is post 9PM and good mood, I give lift to those who were asking. I drop them somewhere on the way to my home. After 9 PM every one is eager to go home and any small hope can give them real help. Does it really paid of last night? May be yes. I did not expect anything from them. Some people ask if I can take them closer to their destination. Some just get down where I stop my vehicle. What ever good things we do, will reap a lot of satisfaction.
If you plant honesty, you will reap trust.
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.
If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.
If you plant perseverance, you will reap victory.
If you plant consideration, you will reap harmony.
If you plant hard work, you will reap success.
If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.
If you plant openness, you will reap intimacy.
If you plant patience, you will reap improvements.
If you plant faith, you will reap miracles.

Women can’t keep secrets for more than 47 hours
Most women cannot keep a secret for more than 47 hours, a new survey has revealed.
In the survey involving 3,000 women aged 18 to 65, four in 10 respondents admitted that they cannot keep a secret, no matter how personal or embarrassing.
While 83 per cent of women believe they are “completely trustworthy” and three in four claim they would never betray a confidence, it is unlikely they keep their lips sealed.
And their likely confidante is their husband, boyfriend, mother or best friend.
Nearly 45 per cent said they blurt out secrets just to get it off their chests and then most of them feel guilty.
More than half blamed alcohol for blurting out the secrets.
“It is official – women can’t keep secrets,” a Daily quoted. Michael Cox, UK director of Wines of Chile, which commissioned the research, as saying.
So guys be carefull..

The flavour may be from Ireland, touches my soul completely.
In Corrs everyone is a specialist. The group consists of the Corr siblings: Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle); Sharon (violin, vocals); Caroline (drums, piano, bodhrán, vocals); and Jim (guitar, piano, vocals).
Everybody in the group do something.. I love it.

Sunday Movies
What a Sunday
I never was so long at home as this weekend. I watched one tamil, three hindi movies. This is good. I like the movies..
Let me tell you about the Tamil movie. Mozhi. Story of a dump and duff girl. Love story. Hero is a musician and heroine is dump and duff – entirely different lifestyles. When hero proposes she denies the love initially at the end she realizes that he is the true love for her. Movie ends up with the union of hero and heroine. Hero role is played by Pruthviraj and heroine by Jyothika. Both the characters are well written and executed. Smooth movie. I recommend. Songs are very melodious. I know little bit of Tamil, however the movie can be understood by anybody.
Well the next movie is Karthik Calling Karthik (KCK). A good one again from Farhan Akhtar, I watched Rock on!! of Farhan Aktar. KCK is a story of a gentleman who is very inhabitant, timid. It is a slow movie. In fact a patient suffering from mental disorder. Story is about karthik who changed his life with an imaginary person. Sounds to be interesting? Yes in fact it is a love story mixed with emotional drama and suspense. Deepika is ok in this movie.
Then 3 Idiots. The ultimate one. No wonder if this movie is added as a subject/ lesson in next academic printings.
My Sunday ended up with Wakeup Sid, another bollywood movie. Cool one from Ranbir kapoor. Sid is a lazy buddy with no ambition and goal in life. His only mantra is to have fun and spend his wealthy father’s money. In an argument with his father he comes out of house and lives at heroine’s place. Heroine Aisha is an aspirant columnist comes from Kolkata. Sid meets here in a college party where they develop friendship. Sid helps here to settle in Mumbai. Sid and Aisha are two opposite characters.
Story goes with good flow and at the end Sid realizes the value of mondy and becomes a professional photographer and Aisha a writer. They realize the love and happy ending.
Assertive skills:
The scene where Aisha grabs the job in a magazine office, Aisha tells the editor that she wants to become a writer, but her boss tells her that the post she came for interview is for PA and there is no scope of creativity in PA job, more ever she is not from Mumbai. She is passionate about working in that office and tells that she needs that job; she will show creativity in PA job. he also does not know anything about Mumbai when he first moved from Banglore. At the end she tells him that he is handsome too. What else the boss can say after that.
This scene reminds me a person, MB, she can join any project, any site, anytime onsite. My colleagues all wonder how this is possible for her. May be she applies the same.

Must read from Abdul Kalam
Dr. Abdul Kalam's Letter to Every Indian
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.

YOU say that our laws are too old.

YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.
When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to

Water problem in Hyderabad

You like a drink or Hero from your community?
My nephew with some classmates went to a bakery near by his college. Among the group one said “let’s have some cold drinks and snacks”, they started ordering drink of their choice. One said I will not go for Pepsi because Ram Charan Teja acted in promotional ads. Another said I will not for 7 up because Allu Arjun is promoting the drink. Another said he wants to go for Thumps up because Mahesh babu promoting it.
I thought a while and told to myself do they really admire the heroes that much? Do the ads really influence somebody like this?
Then I wondered knowing the real thing. My nephew said that they went for different drinks not because they like the hero; it is because the hero belongs to their community.
How ridiculous, who taught this to those college going students. Aren’t their parents and family members? We know that in Indian society has its root in religion and casts. It is really alarming when cast is a deciding factor for a ten rupees drink. It is okay for all to develop their community and society but connecting the tiny issues with cast is an indication for what?

Telugu poem
ఏ దేశానిదో చెప్పగలవా?
ఓ చిరునవ్వు ముక్కని
నీ ప్రయోగశాల
రసాయన నాళికల్లో మరగబెట్టి
దాన్నో అశ్రుకణంగా మార్చగలవా?
అబద్ధాల గిరిగీతల మధ్య బందీవై
ఒంటరి చెట్టుగా మిగిలిపోయినంత కాలం
నేలపైన హరితస్వప్నం సాకారం కాలేదు
చేతులతో చేతులు కలిపి
కౄత్రిమ స్నేహాలు
చిలకరించినన్ని తరాలు
మనిషికీ, మనిషికీ మధ్య
పరుచుకున్న
సముద్రాలు ఇంకిపోవు
రంగుల తెరమీది స్వార్థ స్వప్నాల నాటిక కోసం
ఎన్ని ముఖాలు మార్చినా, ఎన్ని ఆహార్యాలు రంగరించినా
నేల మీది నీ అడుగులే నీ చరిత్ర
నేల కోసం, నింగి కోసం
నీ జాతి కోసం, నీ నెత్తుటి తీపి కోసం
నీ చుట్టూ నువ్వు నిర్మించుకున్న
సరిహద్దు గోడలకవతల
ఒక మహాప్రపంచపు విశాల హౄదయం
విశ్వ తీరాల ద్వారాలు తెరచి
నిరీక్షిస్తుంది నీ కోసం
విద్వేషపు లావాలా ప్రవహించడం మాని
మరీచికపై కురిసిన మంచు కణంలా
ఎడారి గుండెల ఆర్ద్ర గీతమై
భూమ్యాకాశాల క్షితిజాన్ని కౌగిలించుకో
ప్రపంచ ముఖచిత్రంపై
కొత్త మనిషి రూపురేఖలు రచించుకొ
మనిషిని గెలవడానికి
మందుపాతరలు, తుపాకిగుళ్ళు కాదు
పిడికెడు ప్రేమను పేల్చు
విశ్వమానవ సౌభ్రాతౄత్వం వెల్లివిరుస్తుంది.

Corporate services from Government?
Can we see corporate level service from our government?
The craze for the government jobs is the clear indication for the relaxation on duty. Benefit from bribes. The relaxation everywhere in govt offices is my topic.
Somehow Indian govt started using IT services in most of the departments. Thanks to Rajiv Gandhi for introducing Information Technology to India. However AP state govt is yet to use seriously.
In IT companies email as a corporate bomb for any issue. There is transparency on what they do. Time lines, deadlines. SLA (Service Level Agreement) s for individual issues. Bonus points as encouragement when the SLAs are maintained and penalty on SLA failure will be in the agreement. Corporate agreements are such stringent.
Can we see a day when our govt pay penalty to the citizens for delayed service? May be it is my over expectation. Even if some politicians knowingly or unknowingly promote the IT, can we believe that officials will follow that? It is a vice versa situation. How many govt offices have swipe card system? Can the number go more than finger count?
You can make the bribery count less if get Information Technology in place; where ever human intervention is required there is chance of Bribery. An uneducated says money can do many things in a govt office. Well but well educated also going with the group.
Thank god I heard one voice on this from Loksatta party.
The day may not come so early in India, because we know it. It is by the people for the people to the people.
I think, there is nothing wrong in privatization of govt services with controlled governance on the private service providers.

Company Loyalty or Self Loyalty?
Some, rather most organizations reject his CV today because he has changed
jobs frequently (10 in 14 years). My friend, the ?job hopper™ (referred here
as Mr. JH), does not mind it. well he does not need to mind it at all.
Having worked full-time with 10 employer companies in just 14 years gives
Mr. JH the relaxing edge that most of the ?company loyal™ employees are
struggling for today. Today, Mr. JH too is laid off like some other 14-15
year experienced guys “ the difference being the latter have just worked in
2-3 organizations in the same number of years. Here are the excerpts of an
interview with Mr. JH:
Q: Why have you changed 10 jobs in 14 years?
A: To get financially sound and stable before getting laid off the second
time.
Q: So you knew you would be laid off in the year 2009?
A: Well I was laid off first in the year 2002 due to the first global
economic slowdown. I had not got a full-time job before January 2003 when
the economy started looking up; so I had struggled for almost a year without
job and with compromises.
Q: Which number of job was that?
A: That was my third job.
Q: So from Jan 2003 to Jan 2009, in 6 years, you have changed 8 jobs to make
the count as 10 jobs in 14 years?
A: I had no other option. In my first 8 years of professional life, I had
worked only for 2 organizations thinking that jobs are deserved after lot of
hard work and one should stay with an employer company to justify the saying
?employer loyalty™. But I was an idiot.
Q: Why do you say so?
A: My salary in the first 8 years went up only marginally. I could not save
enough and also, I had thought that I had a ?permanent™ job, so I need not
worry about ?what will I do if I lose my job™. I could never imagine losing
a job because of economic slowdown and not because of my performance. That
was January 2002.
Q: Can you brief on what happened between January 2003 and 2009.
A: Well, I had learnt my lessons of being ?company loyal™ and not ?money
earning and saving loyal™. But then you can save enough only when you earn
enough. So I shifted my loyalty towards money making and saving “ I changed
8 jobs in 6 years assuring all my interviewers about my stability.
Q: So you lied to your interviewers; you had already planned to change the
job for which you were being interviewed on a particular day?
A: Yes, you can change jobs only when the market is up and companies are
hiring. You tell me “ can I get a job now because of the slowdown? No. So
one should change jobs for higher salaries only when the market is up
because that is the only time when companies hire and can afford the
expected salaries.
Q: What have you gained by doing such things?
A: That's the question I was waiting for. In Jan 2003, I had a fixed salary
(without variables) of say Rs. X p.a. In January 2009, my salary was 8X. So
assuming my salary was Rs.3 lakh p.a. in Jan 2003, my last drawn salary in
Jan 2009 was Rs.24 lakh p.a. (without variable). I never bothered about
variable as I had no intention to stay for 1 year and go through the
appraisal process to wait for the company to give me a hike.
Q: So you decided on your own hike?
A: Yes, in 2003, I could see the slowdown coming again in future like it had
happened in 2001-02. Though I was not sure by when the next slowdown would
come, I was pretty sure I wanted a ?debt-free™ life before being laid off
again. So I planned my hike targets on a yearly basis without waiting for
the year to complete.
Q: So are you debt-free now?
A: Yes, I earned so much by virtue of job changes for money and spent so
little that today I have a loan free 2 BR flat (1200 sq.. feet) plus a loan
free big car without bothering about any EMIs. I am laid off too but I do
not complain at all. If I have laid off companies for money, it is OK if a
company lays me off because of lack of money.
Q: Who is complaining?
A: All those guys who are not getting a job to pay their EMIs off are
complaining. They had made fun of me saying I am a job hopper and do not
have any company loyalty. Now I ask them what they gained by their company
loyalty; they too are laid off like me and pass comments to me “ why will
you bother about us, you are already debt-free. They were still in the
bracket of 12-14 lakh p.a. when they were laid off.
See the following two answers...
Q: What is your advice to professionals?
A: Like Narayan Murthy had said “ love your job and not your company because
you never know when your company will stop loving you. In the same lines,
love yourself and your family needs more than the company's needs. Companies
can keep coming and going; family will always remain the same. Make money
for yourself first and simultaneously make money for the company, not the
other way around.
Q: What is your biggest pain point with companies?
A: When a company does well, its CEO will address the entire company saying,
?well done guys, it is YOUR company, keep up the hard work, I am with you.
But when the slowdown happens and the company does not do so well, the same
CEO will say, œIt is MY company and to save the company, I have to take
tough decisions including asking people to go. So think about your financial
stability first; when you get laid off, your kids will complain to you and
not your boss.

recission!! Am I one of your victims?
Yesterday my brother-in-law called up and enquired about my job. He knows one guy Mr.X in my organization who is from his town.
The question was that the person came from
How do I answer this question in these managed services of IT to a non IT person? The fair reason I know is that my project is in profits where all work is
Brought down to offshore with terrible effect of recession and project where Mr.X works is in dip. My manager is clever enough to manage the project in low price which shows green in health sheets. Then what is the benefit I got? Do I curse the other Project Manager for his inability in keeping resources offshore or praise my manager or just wait for my turn!!!

Isn't it life changing thought?
Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis ...
Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.
There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?
It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices.
"Don't be serious, be sincere."!

JAC demands for OU students
OU JAC tells V-C to postpone exams again
TNN, 18 January 2010, 05:56am ISTInterestingly, the tottering Joint Action Committee (JAC) has also given a Jan. 28 deadline for the Centre to announce its decision on Telangana. The OU semester examinations are scheduled to start on January 19.
Over 200 OU students held a dharna before the V-C's office at 9 pm on Sunday and demanded that exams be postponed as they are busy preparing for a padyatra, beginning Monday, and hence didn't get time to study.
Sources from OU said that this was nothing but another attempt to pressure the Centre to take another hasty decision.
The OU JAC's demand has put the university authorities in a bind as more postponements will lead to more hardships for students at the university.

---------------------------------------------
Telangana movement appears to be active in backend. The top leaders are silent before the media. There is a demand from telangana JAC to postpone exams and demand for paper correction in telangana for telangana students ("No jumbling" demand). I do not think a good teacher will show biased approach towards a merit student in paper correction either telangana or another region. I wonder one day they damand to promote students to next classes for those who just attempt the exams. The reason they will say is that students are busy in protests and movements.
Now where is the standard of quality in OU education? May be this year only 10% students in OU are serious about their studies and remaining 90% are influenced by the politicians. If students focus on studies, they would have gained good knowledge. which they are losing....
Bottom line is that one day students will understand and realize that their time and abilities are well used by politicians.
