It has been 3 days now since I have been trying to implement a simple thing. But it is not as simple as it seems to be from the outside. To make it work I have changed every different module that I had ever written till now. Had to make everything generic…….. loads to migrations, data porting….. what not…. and still I haven’t tested it fully….. feels like I should kill somebody now. My head is really paining now…… and I had to wait for this fucking word press to load…. to write the post… then I searched on firefox how to install flock… the imges were missing…. damm I am switching to flock…..

and then after days and days of continuous good feeling…. u are made to realize that something is wrong… and then u ur self realize that u fucking need to change… that u have done something wrong , not to her but to people whom you love/respect the same…… and then your mind starts to spin more heavily…. u feel dizzy….

I have not gome room since 24+ hours…. I need to go back….. freshen up…. accumulate my energies…. come back and then do it well… meanwhile on the long walk back…. I would have time to recaptulate….

My love for Fastrack watches got recognized with the link to my post being posted on the official fasttrack twitter feed. Also the link to my post was linked by an article on fastrack’s youth appeal. Great going guys.

Also I visited the fastrack website. I immediately fell in love with with. Checkout the enrollment page, the noticeboard page and the opinion page. Well done guys with the website design.

Also I visited the product section of the website and loved the way they showed the product catalog. Very soon I am going to buy one of these 4 watches.

Well I am a die hard Atif Aslam Fan. No second thoughts about that.

But its the other people whose silly questions/comments piss me off. So this post if for them. It is to tell them Fuck Off. No matter who you are, if you recently made a sarcastic comment about my liking for Atif Aslam, then fuck off. (Mini and AJ you aren’t among these ppl, so peace maaro )

Well one of the souls passed a comment today:

“Aap tu bas is frust aadmi ko sunte rehna”

- nahin nahin tum log tu bade intellectual gaane sunte ho na din bhar…. Ankhiyoon se goli maare, Tauba Pyar karke pachtaya… yeh tu tumhare favorite gaane hai….

- aur haan vo iron maiden, curt cobain, Alize ke gaane frust nahin lagte tumhe. Vo tu bade mazze se sunte ho….

- aur kisne kahan Atif frust hai… haan uska gaane ka genre thoda vaise hai… magar usse kya…

- I love Atif… uske gaane take me somewhere else, their lyrics are much much better than any other hindi song…. his aawaz has that dard/jaadu… and haan main atif ke gaane sad hone pe hi nahin sunta… balki khush hone pe bhi sunta hoon…

- and yes everybody is different, they have different tastes, so start respecting them.

and yes, just see this and this. Compare the members count. Those two are the biggest communities that I found of Atif Aslam and Iron Maiden on Orkut. Now consider the fact that Hindi/urdu is spoken in only a few countries. So u ppl, Fuck Off.

and yes Atif is only 25 years old, only 2 years elder than me and may be younger than you. At 25, he has just completed a world tour, singing his awesome songs. So u ppl, Fuck Off.

and yes Atif received the highest Pakistani Civilian Award , “Tamgha-e-Imtiaz” (Star-of-Excellence), on Pakistan Day (23 March 2008). www.aadeez.com. So u ppl, fuck off.

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I’d want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I’d want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I’d be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I’d be a nod
If you were a seed, well I’d be a pod.
If you were the floor, I’d wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I’d be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I’d be the fire.
If you were the love, I’d be the desire.
If you were a castle, I’d be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I’d learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

For a past few months I’ve wondering about this word – “Commitment”. To me its a big deal. A really big one. But whenevr I think of it I’ve only one line of thought – “How can someone get commited, atleast when he/she is in a position which is similar to mine”. Well to be clear lets describe my position or say similar positions -

• being in a college, living on your parents money
• You still don’t have a job, career, except the hope that when you finish graduation you will find one.
• Or like me, you have started your own company straight out of grad school, living partly or your money.
• You have some dreams(career wise) and you are still not close to them.
• You know you are going for a phd, mba… basically u know you know you still have to join an another institute and get an another degree.

Ya, so being in the position above how can you decide that this is the person I am going to spend my life with. Your life is still unpredictable – in monetary terms, in carrier terms and in experience terms. You are not sure what will happen say from 2 years from now. In my case I don’t know what will happen in two months time, forget two years.

So how can you be sure that this person will be the one. How can you two dream that we will have such and such things, we will do such and such things. Dreaming is good, dreams should be turned into goals and goals into milestones. But then too often I’ve seen such dreams being broken. In a position like mine you are in the most dynamic phase of your life. You may fail, you may succeed. You even may come across a better person. And to add to the situation, the person you are committed to, may be leading a similar life.

I haven’t just cooked up this idea from my thoughts. I’ve seen a lot many people getting committed. And when they do get into that state of mind, I’ve seen them changing, a lot. Yes a lot and that too for bad. And then I’ve seen a lot of people breaking up because of something or the other and in most cases the reason is either meeting a better person or one of the person going away(long distance).

I really don’t know the reason as to why people get committed, being in our position. May be there’s an another side to the coin that I don’t know. But for me its an another burden. I have always valued my freedom and I can’t imagine carrying another person around with me. Maybe its the emotional support that people get out of commitment or may be its something else. I really don’t know. But if its for emotional support, then I’ve a good set of friends(whom I can poke around the whole day, but still expect them to spare a thought for me) and a very good family (touchwood ).

Well I am not against commitment. The only thing I want to emphasize is that, I think, at a stage of life where we are- Its time to go out, achieve something, living your dreams, changing the world rather than sulking on a broken relationship or dreaming about one.
