A globetrotter

Chandigarh-Delhi-Bhopal-Delhi-Bangalore & Pune, trying to frame briskly beguiled sixteen accustomed months.Still not sure about ma consistency, may be I'll be some where else in coming months.Someone has truly said that 'Life is a river that flows irrespective of the terrain it encounters'.

   

Agonizing but catechizing 2013

January 1,2014.One more year passed but this time not in a blink, following  the ray of thinking or reflect on the last 365 days in a buoyant light, its perspicuous the year was a traumatic one.

Although the year started with an iconic feeling as i was on the tour of south India  and visited many temples beaches,memorial,waterfalls,Reserves, and above all a different livelihood.   

Then in  mid 2013 my college life ended. The funny thing is that when I look back at college after graduation, I don’t remember the grades  in some random subject or the trivial fights I had while i was there. The things that stayed with me are the  little incidents and bursts of laughter that seemed inconsequential at that time.
I finally left that makeshift world and now the  friendships which formed that, is now reduced to Facebook likes and Tweets – despite the promises of “staying in touch” on farewell day – it makes us a little despondent.

Spring 2013 changes ma life completely,new city,new people,new culture and a new tag with ma name "Web Developer". Yeah, one of the darkest shade of 2013,i joined in Chandigarh,planned city of India where regrettably i failed to plan ma own life but i must say that was neither the fault of that city nor the people,but sometimes circumstances starts ruling you,actually not only the circumstances but "The circumstances" created by some specific people.I know blaming  others, helps absolutely no one even it makes thing much worse but what if people whom you considered a benevolent person,whom you trusted, always addressed with a respected prefix ,starts cheating on you.Oh no ,what the crap am i writing?? i don't wanna be a pathetic person and letting something eat me from inside indeed i don't give a damn and literally i am over of that brief interlude of sorrows but enshrined good memories in ma heart,memories of Kasauli(hill station 65 km from Chandigarh),new friends,Punjabi culture,programming skills and most important initiation of a corporate life.

Nov,Dec were the reckless months i spent ma most time at ma sis's place,want to delineate the replica of her tenancy but not today,will narrate in some other post.Succinctly 2013 ended with  good news!yeah i finally got some :-) .So New path is calling-It's time to start the new journey.At last,to my circle(fiamily,friends near and dear ones)I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me,the encouragement,the support,the endless love you have given me and for offering your big fat ear  and really listened -- silently:)  I know how hard it is  to listen and not give advise that may not work. But you all managed to do so ,i just wanted to take a spare moment to say Thank you. I wish that God showers you with His choicest Blessings, Fate never takes you for a bumpy ride, Cupid strikes you with his sweetest arrow, Lady Luck bestows upon your health and wealth, your Guardian Angel keeps your mind alert and bright.

Cheers!!Wishes you a Happy New Year 2014.

अब समुन्द्र शान्त है

                                   

                        हवायें मंद -मंद सी  चलने लगीं हैं

                   बादलो के पीछे से सूरज सहसा ही मुस्कुरा उठा है

                   आसमां में लाल -पीले फूलों का गलीचा सा बिछ गया है 

                   अब एहसास हुआ है तूफ़ान थम गया है

                   ग़म तो है बीती सुनामियों  का पर  ख़ुशी भी है कि 

                   अब समुन्द्र शान्त है । ।

Believe In yourself

 
 A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out.
Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the
park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

 
Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, “I can see that something is troubling you seriously”.

After listening patiently the old man said, “I believe I can help you”.

He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying, “Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today… and you can pay me back at that time”.

Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000… signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world.

“I can erase my worries instantly” he realized. But instead, the man decided to put the uncashed cheque in his safe, knowing that it might give him the strength to work out to save his
business and to use this only in case of dire emergency.

With changed thinking he negotiated better deals, restructured his business and worked rigorously with full zeal and enthusiasm and got several big deals. Within few months, he was out of debt
and started making money once again.

Exactly one year later he returned to the park with the un cashed cheque.

As agreed, the old man appeared.

But just as the businessman was about to hand him back the cheque and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.

“I’m so glad I caught him” she cried. “I hope he hasn’t been bothering you much. He always escapes from the mental hospital and tells people that he is Warren Buffet”, saying this she took the old man away.

The surprised man just stood there, stunned!

All year long he had been dealing thinking that he had half a million dollars behind him… Its not the money, real or imagined
that turns our life around.

It is our Self-confidence that gives us the power to achieve anything & everything that we want.
 

जो बीत गई सो बात गई

   
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
जीवन में एक सितारा था
माना वह बेहद प्यारा था
वह डूब गया तो डूब गया
अम्बर के आनन को देखो
कितने इसके तारे टूटे
कितने इसके प्यारे छूटे
जो छूट गए फिर कहाँ मिले
पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर
कब अम्बर शोक मनाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
जीवन में वह था एक कुसुम
थे उसपर नित्य निछावर तुम
वह सूख गया तो सूख गया
मधुवन की छाती को देखो
सूखी कितनी इसकी कलियाँ
मुर्झाई कितनी वल्लरियाँ
जो मुर्झाई फिर कहाँ खिली
पर बोलो सूखे फूलों पर
कब मधुवन शोर मचाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
जीवन में मधु का प्याला था
तुमने तन मन दे डाला था
वह टूट गया तो टूट गया
मदिरालय का आँगन देखो
कितने प्याले हिल जाते हैं
गिर मिट्टी में मिल जाते हैं
जो गिरते हैं कब उठतें हैं
पर बोलो टूटे प्यालों पर
कब मदिरालय पछताता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
मृदु मिटटी के हैं बने हुए
मधु घट फूटा ही करते हैं
लघु जीवन लेकर आए हैं
प्याले टूटा ही करते हैं
फिर भी मदिरालय के अन्दर
मधु के घट हैं मधु प्याले हैं
जो मादकता के मारे हैं
वे मधु लूटा ही करते हैं
वह कच्चा पीने वाला है
जिसकी ममता घट प्यालों पर
जो सच्चे मधु से जला हुआ
कब रोता है चिल्लाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई।।

Internet Connections Through LED Light Bulbs(250 Times faster than Broadband)

I know am a bit late in posting about this Technology but This Light Fidelity(Li-Fi) amazed me too much that i can't control ma scribbling.

Oh Technology!Li-Fi, an alternative to WI-Fi that transmits data using the spectrum of visible light, has achieved a new breakthrough, with UK scientists reporting transmission speeds of 10Gbit/s – more than 250 times faster than ‘super-fast’ broadband.

The fastest speed previously reported was 3Gbit/s, achieved earlier this year by the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute in Germany. Chinese researchers also claimed this month to have produced a 150Mbp/s connection, but some experts were doubtful without seeing further proof.
Chinese scientists have invented a method to transmit internet signals through lightbulbs — or LiFi — in a method that's being hailed as a way that will allow people to go online more easily and cheaply than through traditional WiFi signals.

According to a report from state news agency Xinhua late this past week, the technology will allow up to four computers sitting under just a single one-watt LED light-bulb to go online, using a principle that allows light to carry signals instead of traditional radio frequencies.

Harald Haas from the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom coined the phrase "LiFi" to refer to light communications to deliver high-speed connections similar to the more-familiar WiFi. The technology has been around for some time, but hasn't been commercially developed.

"There are around 14 billion light bulbs worldwide, they just need to be replaced with LED ones that transmit data," Hass told New Scientist in 2011. "We reckon VLC(Visible Light Communication) is a factor of ten cheaper than WiFi."

The technology could be used safely in aircraft, hospitals and other places where WiFi is not allowed, or even underwater.

Chi Nan, an information technology professor with the Fudan University in Shanghai, said the special LED lightbulbs, which will have embedded microchips, will be able to produce data as fast as 150 megabits per second, or faster than China's average broadband connections allow.

The current WiFi signal transmission equipment is expensive in China and not efficient, said Chi, leader of a LiFi research team that includes scientists from the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"As for cell phones, millions of base stations have been established around the world to strengthen the signal but most of the energy is consumed on their cooling systems," she explained. "The energy utilization rate is only 5 percent."

In addition, the number of light-bulbs that can be used is limitless.
"Wherever there is an LED light-bulb, there is an Internet signal," said Chi. "Turn off the light and there is no signal."

The technology will go on display at a China trade show next month, but the actual development is still in its experimental stage because of work still going on with key related pieces of the technology, including light communication controls and microchip design.

There are some drawbacks to LiFi, though.

PARENT'S WISH

To my dear child:

On the day when you see me old, weak and weary, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, If I can not dress on my own, please bear with me and remember the times I spent feeding you and dressing you up.
If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things over and over again, do not interrupt me. Listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you the same story A thousand and one times until you went to sleep.
When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame nor scold me.
Remember when I had to chase you with your thousand excuses to get you to the shower?
When you see my ignorance of new technologies, help me navigate my way through those world wide webs. I taught you how to do so many things, to eat the right foods, to dress appropriately, to fight for your rights.
When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember. And if I can not, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation, but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.
If ever I do not feel like eating, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not to eat.
When my tired legs give way and do not allow me to walk without a cane, lend me your hand. The same way I did when you tried your first faltering steps.
And when someday I say to you, that I do not want to live any more, that I want to die, do not get angry. Some day you will understand. Try to understand that my age is not just lived but survived.
Some day you will realize that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best for you and I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry nor ashamed for having me near you.
Instead, try to understand me and help me like I did when you were young.
Help me to walk. Help me to live the rest of my life with love and dignity. I will pay you with a smile and by the immense love I have always had for you in my heart.
I love you child.
