Who make for a sucessful pair?

This is an old post…. but since I am in a pretty odd mood, I have a lot of clearing up to do.

Today while watching Kofee with karan, I heard Javed Akhtar say something that I always believed in. It wasnt something new to me, but I loved the way it was put across.

He said that the two people in the relationship shouldnt be alike, cos then there isnt the need of the other. One is sufficient. They shouldnt be totally different aswell cos then they cant survive together. What is required then for a sucessful relationship is a few set of likes and dislikes, which keeps it going and keeps it interesting. Both partners should look at enriching themselves from the other rather than expecting the other to become like them.

I felt like clapping for what he said so beautifully, cos I failed to express this to someone in the manner that he did. I have been in a situation where I feel I meant exactly the same, but I dont think I ever had those words to say it as simply and accurately as he just did. Aah, so similar to the the desperation of Meg Ryan in “You’ve got mail”.

Most technologically experimental 24 hours

I am a keen learner, but I am very lazy when it comes to doing technical stuff. I have relied a lot on friends to do it for me so far…. And when pushed against the wall, I really took it upon myself to do it on my own and walk the untreaded paths .

In the past 24 hours I have managed to

  • download a 700mb file (never dared to do that before)
  • download flashget to download that 700 mb file (never knew you can download a software to facilitate the download of files!!)
  • format a PC
  • prepare bootable floopy disk and cd
  • tried to install Windows
  • tried to install Linux, even when I havent ever worked on that platform
  • used DOS after ages and worked on it (those commands seem so irritating now after the windows GUI)
  • request a password change with godaddy

    • Phew ! Thats really too much for me.

    Maula mere le le meri jaan…

    An awesome song from the movie Chak de India. Now even though I havent seen it, I heard this song thanks to Vipin. A beautiful number by Krishna and Salim merchant.

    Teeja tera rang tha main to
    jiya tere dhang se main to
    tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
    maula mere le le meri jaan
    maula mere le le meri jaan

    Tere sang kheli holi, teri sang thi diwali
    teri angano ki chaya, tere sang sawan aaya
    pher le tu chahe nazre chahe chura le
    laut ke tu aayega re shart laga le
    teeja tera rang tha main to
    jiya tere dhang se main to
    tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
    maula mere le le meri jaan
    maula mere le le meri jaan

    Mitti meri bhi bhurri, wahi mere ghee aur choori
    wahi ranjhe mere wohi heer, wohi sewaiya wahi kheer
    tujhse hi roothna re mujhe hi manana
    tera mera naata koi toota na jaana
    teeja tera rang tha main to
    jiya tere dhang se main to
    tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
    maula mere le le meri jaan
    maula mere le le meri jaan

    Tackling fear

    The only thing we have to fear is fear it’self – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.

    I truly believe that.

    I remember when I was a child, I had this huge fear of darkness. I couldnt go in the darkness. So much so that I would go and knock on my parents bedroom door and ask for my mom to go and switch on the bathroom light so that I would be able to use it. I know many of you can think of how badly pampered I was, but no, it was all about fear.

    A good old poem

    Around the corner I have a friend,
    In this great city that has no end,
    Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
    And before I know it, a year is gone.
    And I never see my old friends face,
    For life is a swift and terrible race,
    He knows
    I like him just as well,
    As in the days when I rang his bell.
    And he rang mine but we were younger then,
    And now we are busy, tired men.

    Tired of playing a foolish game,
    Tired of trying to make a name.
    “Tomorrow” I say! “I will call on him
    Just to show that I’m thinking of him.”
    But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
    And distance between us grows and grows.
    Around the corner, yet miles away,
    “Here’s a telegram sir,” “he died today.”
    And that’s what we get and deserve in the end.
    Around the corner, a vanished friend.
    Remember to always say what you mean.
    If you love someone, tell them clean.

    Words have the power to both destroy and heal. I have seen its use for the former. The latter is what I so wish I am able to.

    When these words are both kind and true, they have the capability to change our world.

    And I hope they do. Have a nice day and life !

    Strange are the ways of friendship

    Imagine a scenario, you have a friend A. Through your friend A you are introduced to B, C and D. And after a while A vanishes from the scene but your friendship with B, C and D persists. You find it odd, but it seems ok.

    Its strange that today I have a few new friends who count me as their friend despite the fact the person who introduced us is no longer in the picture. They have involved me in work, conversations and support system.

    I am glad for the way these people have turned out to be and thankful to A for introducing us.
