Ek baar muskura do

Song for myself and for everybody else who get the blues.
This is one real gem from Md. Rafi/O. P. Naiyaar which somehow didn't get the love and respect it deserves.

नफ़रत से जिन्हें तुम देखते हो ,
तुम मारते हो जिनको ठोकर ,
क्या उनपे गुज़रती है देखो,
इक बार कभी घायल होकर

ज़माने की आंखों ने देखा है यारों , सदा अपनी दुनिया में ऐसा नज़ारा, कभी उनको फूलों से पूजा है सब ने, कभी जिनको लोगों ने पत्थर से मारा ज़माने की आंखों ने देखा है यारों

पिसे न जहाँ तक, पत्थर पे मेंहदी,
किसी भी तरह रंग, लाती नहीं है,
हजारों जगह ठोकरे खा ने ले जब,
कोई ज़िन्दगी मुस्कुराती नहीं है,

बिना ख़ुद मरे, किसको जन्नत मिली है,
बिना दुःख सहे किसने, जीवन सवार
ज़माने की आंखों ने देखा है यारों

भावर से जो घबराके पीछे हटें हैं,
डुबोदी है मौजों ने, उनकी ही नैय्या ,
जो तूफ़ान से टकरा के आगे बड़े हैं,
बिना कोई मांझी, बिना ही खिवैया

कभी न कभी तो, कहीं ना कहीं पर
हमेशा ही उनको, मिला है किनारा
ज़माने की आंखों ने देखा है यारों

यहाँ आदमी को सबक दोस्ती का,
सिखाते हुए जो, लहू में नहाया,
मसीहा बना और गाँधी बना वो,
हजारों दिलों में, यहाँ घर बनाया,

उन्ही की बनी है, यहाँ यादगारें,
उन्ही के जहाँ में, चम्पका सितारा
ज़माने की आंखों ने देखा है यारों


Happy Weekend!!

CV Tagcloud

While looking for new data visualization tools on internet, I came across wordle which essentially is an online tag cloud creator.
Using wordle one can create tagclouds from any blog, web site or any chunk of text supplied by user.
Moreover, it is possible to fine tune the way tag cloud is displayed using various options like:

• Tag orientations.
• Tag Fonts.
• Color schemes
• Number of tags etc.

To see it action, I created a tag cloud based on my current Resume. Wordle generated tag cloud from this, shown below:

I think it's pretty cool application and is quite usefule with Tag Clouds gaining more and more popularity as an alternate way to quickly visualize information loaded in large chunks of texts.
I wish it offered a tighter control over the tags words which appear in the clouds. This way more the conveyed information can be more precise and relevant.



I think it's

Keep talking

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals

Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination

We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me

I can't seem to think straight

I'll sit in the corner

No one can bother me

I think I should speak now ___________ Why won't you talk to me

I can't seem to speak now ____________ You never talk to me

My words won't come out right ________ What are you thinking

I feel like I'm drowning _____________ What are you feeling

I'm feeling weak now _________________ Why won't you talk to me

But I can't show my weakness _________ You never talk to me

I sometimes wonder ___________________ What are you thinking

Where do we go from here _____________ What are you feeling

It doesn't have to be like this

All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me _____________ I feel like I'm drowning

You never talk to me _________________ You know I can't breathe now

What are you thinking ________________ We're going nowhere

What are you feeling _________________ We're going nowhere

Why won't you talk to me

You never talk to me

What are you thinking

Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this

Kabhi Tanhaiyon mein

Larry and Lee

I discovered this awsome music shop in Camp Pune which features eclectic and rare CD which the owner prodly says "You will not find this kind of stuff in crosswords and planetM" . The best part is that he himself is a music freak and loves to talk about it.
Really its a pleasre dropping in there whenever I'm in the area.
On his recommendation I got myself this CD: Larry and Lee
Who Larry and Lee?
You may not have heard of them, but you have heard them for sure. Think The Wall (Floyd) and think Steely Dan. They are everywhere, being on top of list of hottest sessions guitarists.
This album is surely on top of my charts these days.
Check them out, this one's called Remembering JP
let me know what you think of them.
