Plight of Hindi...

Spanish seeking entry level positions, Cantonese speaking wanted, Mandarin speaker needed, Portuguese trader needed... God where are Hindi speaking jobs???

Damm you firangs from the empire where Sun never used to set !! You came, plundered our resources, took away our diamonds and left a legacy of sorry and corruption. If that was not enough the killer blow was their absolutely un-scientific language that makes P U T p'uu't but B U T b'a't .. D O D'uu , T O T'uu but G O Go...Why not G'uu ?? Aah I can seem some smirks et.all. For more check out various hilarious and logical conversations between Pyaremohan and Pujaniya Jijaji..

The whole idea is just because the entire nation reads, writes and speaks this avagyanik bhasha and do it very well, infact most of spell-bees are Desis. Any Tinku Dinu & Hariya can transform into Tom Dick & Harry without even betting an eyelid. It would be tough to find a pocket in India where English is an alien language. Entire nation understands it and take pride in patronizing it .. Hindi or anything regional is so downmarket. Its economy booster too after all this is the language that is running 'lifestyles' of so many college going teens and hip-hop-trans-rock-techno brigade in the country though .... कितने घरों के रात का ओह नही दिन का चूल्हा नही जलता अगर ये नही होती तो.. रात को तो पता नही क्या क्या जलता हैं ;-)

But what ! Considering a very small universe , i.e. mine, who the hell is paying the cost.. Poor students caught in this downturn searching for the edge to sneak their foot in the door. Second ...should I say first language could have been a great asset to have considering the jobs as mentioned on top floating in the market :-( Everyone has Master's, everyone has 4.0 GPA, everyone knows Black Scholes or Monte Carlo, everyone know Ingliish, but not everyone know Mandarin, Spanish , Cantonese, Portuguese etc etc..

However, Sun is already setting for the Empire, probably right time to pull out the likes of Sumitra Nandan Pant, Maithili Sharan Gupt and Harivansh Rai Bachchan..

Setting expectations for life, pump in all that you have to accomplish those goals reached tantalizingly close to them and yet when you reach out to touch, its all gone - Mirage

So close yet so far, sums up the life in last few days. Worked sincerely for all that I ever dreamed off, came agonizingly close to and then when the air in between was the thinnest, other side pulled out. Nothing that I did wrong, never had wrong intentions but still ended up with Zot. Why does it happen? Why the world around is like this -- throwing offers one day and next day 'not hiring', claiming loyalties to walk with you one day just to walk off the next day .. came back to do it again and again. Guess some really love to play around at other's cost !

On the other hand, I wish I was so close and yet so far the day I ran into a major accident. With no fault of mine but ended up having my beloved Basanti crushed... :-( Poor lady, took the entire impact just to save me...

कभी किस्सी को मुक्कमल जहाँ नही मिलता
कभी ज़मीन तो कहीं आसमां नही मिलता

Back from hibernation.....

Its a strange feeling since morning today. Woke up with hangover from yesterday's night party at Eli's place with exotic booze & babes. I just had one of the two btw ;-) . Whatever it was, its bad, usually I have infinite appetite for both but God knows, its different today. Out of practice may be, tried to chastise my soul a lot in last few months but guess its not worth if its worth is not recognized by those for whom you are doing it. Old ways are better...

Anyway despite of hanging along the edge, I still feel like a free floater. As light as a ping-pong ball probably, why it is.. I don't know. Is this the effect of some lovely music from 80's and 90's playing full throttle on my BOSE speakers in background since yesterday 6 PM? May be, but that is something not very uncommon with me.. Is it because India reached the pinnacle in test cricket for first time ? Naah... no matter what the ranking says I think they still not deserve the spot unless they overcome Kangaroos , Kiwis and Safari challenge at their home turf. Is this the ACC championship for Tech? Nopes.. the pain of loss from Bulldogs will haunt always. Is it because this because of CFA getting over ? Now dont ask me how was it if you really dont know it was there at first place .. and for those who cares, they will know anyhow. I must say it was some sort of load...felt good to pack back tons of study material to hut again. Thanks Manuj and Daksh for your guidance all the way not to forget my PE and Corp teams. Is this CFA level good for job? Probably not, but I owe the later one to Eva. Probably by Monday that front would be closed for the time being.

May be its a case of too many cooks making my meal delicious , not spoiling for a change :). Mom Dad are already on their maiden international flight and will be here by the clock takes two full circle from now. Its gonna be long day tomorrow, meeting two Chris within a span of 3 hours..One for coffee and another for end semester exam. Hopefully will have absolute clarity by tomorrow to graduate or not.


What next, probably about time to take on the world once again but not alone, with a companion in the road ahead now on.. Tough job. My professor says 90% of your happiness is depended on just 1 decision - whom you decide to chose as your partner in crime. Very important decision for a vagabond like me because of the sheer devotion it requires. "Don't marry someone just because you love her, marry only if she loves you back with same passion" You'll find grey hairs often giving this gyan and for a change think they are right this time. Compassion, Trust, Respect, Compromise and Scarifies is what constitute the definition of love and should be the base of the relationship. Agreed Rome was not built in one day but someone started it one fine day ! Its the will to work towards a relationship that is more important rather than hoping for one magic wand to create the fairy land in a blink. Love unconditionally and marry without conditions, if you love as per the above 5 constitutes you'll work around almost everything. Nothing is impossible but the will to say -I -m -possible is required and its not one way ! Someone listening?


Aah, quite a random blog, started with something and ended with something. I cannot recall when I was this entrapped in muddleness of life and yet felt so free of its intricacies....

ज़िन्दगी तेरे ग़म ने हमे रिश्ते नए समझाए
मिले जो हमे धुप मैं मिले छाव के ठन्डे साए !!
तुझ से नाराज़ नही ज़िन्दगी हैरान हूँ मैं..
