Ek Kavita

Its too good morning.... really the most beautiful ... I am in the lab at 6 am...and a poem is being dedicated to this morning - coming out direct from my heart :)


Ji karta hai aaj tujase hi pyar kar lu,
jism nahi hai tera, phir bhi tuje chum lu,
ek-do coffee tere saath ...
ek-do barasaat ki raate ek hi chhate ke niche paas paas,
phir mai chhodane aau tuje tere gali ke naake tak,
aut phir tu taane marati rahe
" haan!! dar gayaa tha mere baap se .." - mere swikaarne tak !!!
karta rahunn duwaaye teri meri har ek namaaz me
ki naa chhine vo tuje mujase meri aakhari saans tak....
par pataa hai mujko vohi hoga,
abhi suraj aayega aur tuje marna hoga ..
phir hogi teri kami, aankhe hogi sahemi sahemi...
akela hi chal dunga mai us raasto pe vapas, tu nahi, teri yaad hi sahi
kya pataa phir mil jaaye koi humdum, ho jisake pyar ki kahaani bhi tuti hui !!!!


Complements for this poem by Rishiraj Gupta:

Mil jaegi tumhe tum hi jaisi, jo apne adhure pyar ki kahani sapno main bun rahi hogi..

Kar rahi hogi kahin wo bhi shayriya tumhari tarah, arzoo wo pyar paane ki jarur puri hogi.

Ye jo chilman hai... dushman hai hamaare !!!!

Ye jo chilman hai, dushman hai hamaare,
kitanee sharamilee, dulhan hai hamaaree

Tell me which is the most parlous disease for human beings in this world? AIDS? cancer? tuberculosis? - NO, these diseases kill the body, but there is a disease which does not kill body but kills your whole existence and its name is 'Conjunctivitis'.

Lets see how. Last week my eyes were paining. I visited the doctor at IIT Hospital, found had conjunctivitis. I was quite fine with myself, but gradually this news started spreading among floor mates, friends and others. My gosh !!!! people's behaviour suddenly changed !!!! While normally talking with me, if they accidentally happened to look into my eyes, they screamed "conjunctivitis !!!! :o " and they were just throwing themselves back as if they have got electrical shock. People started keeping 4-5 feet distance while talking to me. If my eyes were not covered by something then they would cover their own eyes, but there should not be eye contact at all. If my any friend needed to talk to me for something then he would not face me, but we would have to stand back to back - as if MunnaBhai is telling sorry to Circuit at Mahim Beach :).

In short it became question of my existence. I indeed realized how Gandhiji would have felt against the racism when he was thrown out of the train. But the almighty is there with every true person. I started getting strength when one of my neighbour also got conjunctivitis. Instead of being sorry about his health, I was happy to get 2nd member of anti-racism community :). Gradually 6 people on my floor got conjunctivitis and hence became part of this abandoned family. As we were not allowed to enter in hostel mess and food was supplied to our rooms, we started eating to gather in my room. We would freely talk with each other, especially in front of those who were not talking to us. Just in a few days, as rumoured, almost 30% of the wing mates got conjunctivitis. An orkut community named 'H12-Conjunctivitis' stared :) and then came dawn to soul killing gruelling darkness :).

I remember Bapu once telling ...
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win"

Anyway I just wrote this for fun. Infact old friends helped me a lot and got new friends too. Any ya !!!! now a days in my college, resume writing is going on in full bloom. Shall I write in my resume with bold font in leadership skills section that "Lead Anti-conjunctivitis Racism Movement, September 2007" ???? :p

My hanker of cognizing and fostering each beggar and sweeper of road between Life Style building to Paradise purported to be roosted on the day when I saw a young half naked man on pavement of the bridge. He just had torn trouser worn. His dusty body, long begrimed beard and seemingly hungry stomach made me to stop for a while. I could not understand the injustice; exhausted with bedlam ,I moved to home. Picked up a shirt and hastily came back to the bridge with fastest ever ride. But ........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! extreme depression.. that man was not there. I tried to find him near by but failed. With mournful heart had to return back to home.

But I started keeping that shirt with me in my bag hoping to encounter the same person again and if not him then someone congruent to him and hand over his due kept by me. For next few days I didnt saw him there and I had almost forgotten that incident. But being little fortunate I happened to meet that fellow at same place as that birdge was his permanent residence and gave him the shirt I was carrying. That night I was feeling profound pleasure,which is arduous to describe.

Next morning I wake up with wish of see him in the shirt which I had given him. I could hardly stop myself to brim up in advance. My state of mind on the way till the bridge was amazing. After all I reached to bridge,but ............................. !!!!!!!!!!! extreme depression again. There was A MAN WITH DUSTY BODY, BEGRIMED BEARD, SEEMINGLY HUNGRY STOMACH AND A TORN TROUSER. (Shirt was nowhere...)

Hum logo ko samaj sako to...... :-)

The NP-Complete Day

This is the first article which I am not starting with song. Actually I couldnt find any song matching to this. If you find any then you are most welcome to post it as comment. So here goes this article.

This Diwali my parents were here in Hyderabad (this was my first Diwali outside home). They had plan to stay here for some days and then have complete tour of south India. But as Murphy's law is always there ,due to exuberant rain in south India AP Tourism bus for that tour got cancelled and here goes all tragedies.....

My dad asked me to find shortest possible path covering all important places of south India ,which is NP-Complete if graph is given , but in my case I had to find out all possible transportations available from different places (edges of graph) and their cost. Again as this was nothing they said there should be one central place where they can stay and all other places should be accessible from there. Knowing this vertex covering problem NP-Complete I just denied that this requirement can't be met and asked for another alternative. They loosen their restrictions by allowing me 3-4 central places from where they can approach all other places , but there should be complete transportation among all these 3-4 places. This was liberality for them but for me it was NP-Complete clique problem. (and finding all these separate tours should meet my budget was again subset sum problem (NP-Complete ;-) ) for me that they were not knowing..... :-)).

As you know having solution of this muddle was out of my calibre. I tried a lot, but fixing one crux ruptured at other. There was only one deterministic O(1) way for me out was to have sleep and let things go on their on. Next day we went out to have round around the city. Admist at Birla Temple saw a bus with banner in Gujarati, curiosity let us know that that bus was of tour package only and going toward south. Yaah..!!! all NP-Complete problems solved in a brust. The win of luck over mathematics. We made deal there and very next day I reached to the starting place of the bus with my parents to say them bye.

The tour manager was standing confuse with some rapt counting. I just gave my ear there and came to know that some people had problem with smokers so they can't sit with them, some had problem with aged people so those can't be near by and all........

I just had smile that moment. Do you know why ???????????? He was solving a NP-Complete frequency allocation problem.

Geezers,
Happy Diwali and happy new year (according to Gujarati calender) to all....
Though last year was full of imotional struggle, I have some unforgettable hilarious memories of this year. Its always difficult to visualize the situation until you face it,but I have tried my best to describe it in possible good way.

1. Once in college my jounior came to me and said "I want to write my biography 'My Struggle' "I was very delighted and encouraged him to do so. Then he said "but there is a problem..." I asked "What?" He said "I have down loaded something from net. I am afraid I will be caught if
someone would have already read it...." (Even autobiography is also downloaded now... :-) )

2. On 22nd Auguest,2005 I along with my friend Brijesh (BD) and his parents were waiting for train at Linggampalli station, Hyderabad. It was half an hour to go till train comes,so I started moving around. I also visited the toilet and as I came out a lady came to me and asked "E anna, kitna paisa ? I was scared... and humiliated before uncle. But with little help of others over there I could realize that that lady didnt know hindi and wanted to say"aapne paise nahi diye" as the toilet was pay and use........

3. Once on great Sunday me, Yashpal and Yunus decided to make Pulav at Yashpal's home. We brought some random vegetables and started cooking Pulav. It was our first experience,so we were adding all vegetables into that which were available. All of sudden Yunus yelled "ye ringan aur vataane bhi dal do.... " Listening to Yunus's hindi me and Yashpal could not stop our laugh.We then recalled this matter till we were togather in college days. (Yunus will be very delighted to see this incident on blog,as he always believes in sharing fun)

4.One of my friend got a new job at Ahmedabad. We met after a long time and here goes our conversation.
Me: "How is your new job?"
Friend:"great job satisfaction....."
Me:"What are you working upon?"
Friend:"Building a porn website....."

5.I have good experience of Murphy's law. In one of the lab I had a crowd to listen to me. I spoke for almost 20 minutes like expert,challenged so many things and then said "So guys,here is the output " and I hit enter key. I saw audience grinning at me. I turned back and look at the message on the screen "Not enough memory to run the program.." (Then I had to excuse "Yaar it was running fine.. i just tried " and all... :-) )

I hope you enjoyed this blog.

Ek tuhi dhanvan he gori (a man infact).......

Chandi jesa rang he tera sone jese baal,
ek tuhi dhanvan he gori baki sab kangaal....

I have to take U turn and come little back to enter in my company building campus. On 20th October, Thrusday evening I was on a way to come to my office. Due to traffic I had to pause at turning end of that U turn. All of sudden i saw a beggar standing near by me murmuring something. His hands were full of bags so were hardly visible. How come a sole man speak to none ? It drew my interest and I lent my ears to hear him...

Abruptly he happened to see me and stopped his chat, then with bit fear he gazed at me and then smiled... very gently he cut his MOBILE call and started laughing at me... I could not believe my eyes.... a beggar with a mobile phone ????!!!!!! He forwarded his hand and said "salam valekum bhaijaan garib ko kuch dedo...!!" Hey even I dont have mobile and rather I should have forwarded my hand for his help...

Wah Hyderabad wah !!! What a rich beggars you possess... Akhir nawabi shaher jo thahera.... :-)

Teri galiyo me na rakhenge kadam......

Teri galiyo me na rakhenge kadam aaj ke baad,
tere milane ko na aayenge sanam , aaj ke baad.....
-Hawas(1970)

Hey folks...... Have you ever been to South India? Welcome its really great land to be upon. Have you ever visited Andra Pradesh ??? Its really cleanest state I have ever seen. One more question have you ever come to Hyderabad ? If your answer is yes then also tell me have you ever had food here ???? (I am sure you wont reply 'yes', instead you will say that on that day you decided not to come to Hyderabad again...)

To mere pyare dosto..... my story starts here. Hyderabad is city where 80% of total food is non-veg and chilly.And rest of 20% of veg food contains RICE and only RICE. A few days back on great Sunday I was working in my office as usual and at around noon I started my endless voyage of North Indian (somewhat north indian....:-) ) food. I went 2 km away in a area name Punjagutta circle ,the road starting from which is famous for food restaurants. I searched for half an hour but couldnt find a single place providing me "Roti".

I came back to my office with little disappointment and went to a different direction where I had a food before with intense hope of getting my belly full. I went inside ,smiled and asked "Chappaties available ?"..... In reply ...smile and "no sir"....

At last I HAD TO go to the last remaining street (which only remains from my company location after visiting all previously mentioned roads) which again contains good no of restaurents... but almost all cafes were non-veg.... Among that I found one PURE VEG (and pure south indian) restaurant and you cant imagine my joy.... I asked for a meal... and got a dish full of hot rice and two Subjies. I was waiting for Roties to come but it didnt happen for next some minutes... so my hunger provoked me to start with rice and wait for Roti. But suddenly I observed that there was no one eating Roti there and only rice was available...

I was angry like anything.... As king Muchkund decided to brun out KalYavan with his anger ,I decided to assault on rice. I asked for rice five times of my daily food quantity ...... I ate it with subji, dal ... As I finished my last seed of rice , waiter again came and pour bowl of rice in my dish.. I was not gonaa slip back... I ate them with curd and banana.... still my anger was not satisfied and I again asked for rice and ate with "Rasam"(I had never eaten it before).. Honestly by that time rice was coming out of my mouth.... but again just to indulge my anger, I asked for more rice and ate it dry......

I could hardly stand up and could not ride my bicycle. I didn't eat anything for next two days... and don't ask about digesting system...... I was in bed for one and half day singing above song.....

"Teri galiyo me na rakhenge kadam aaj ke baad......"

Let's embark.....
