Yahoo and MSN IMs to communicate !!
Jun 15th
How many people are there who either prefer only MSN or Yahoo! IM (Instant Messenger) ?? Well it has been ages since i used anything remotely associated with MSN, just that Yahoo completed all my needs… as simple as that!! But then there were some friends of mine who chat only through MSN. What do u do then? Very Simple – u crib why these two cant inter communicate!
Now what if I tell u that they are gonna pretty soon? According to Leah, member – WLM (Windows Live Messenger) team it has been done succesfully and there have also been reports about the limit being 600 Y! contacts now (earlier it was 100). As quoted by Leah, “It’s been a long time since we announced the deal which would allow Windows Live Messenger people and Yahoo! Messenger peope to IM one another. The project was so top secret that many of us (myself included) found out the same day you did.“

So is MS learning the earthly manners now? Is there an anti Google alliance in making? Lets see what time has in store in its womb 
My New OS Theme
May 28th
Time for theme change, well my love for Macintosh is a no hidden fact, and hence my desire to have my lappie taste like a Mac 
. But nowz the time for a change and a new tryout, so i get a new theme from WinStep – a complete package.
Based on Vista, its a blur-able option that gives me visuals for clock, mu net connection (can be set as LAN conn/ Wireless/ Bluetooth or Broadband one), Weather check (has two options for Delhi as place) and other regular goodies. Here, see the caps:
Pic 1:
The Shelf can be customed as Quic Launch, and based on the Genie Effect of Macintosh, we have Task palette where we see all our tasks in pic form and on hovering over them enlarges the pic of that task.
Pic 2: See the Menu’s transparency effect !!
So here i go, with my brand new luk n feel desktop
Teri Diwani… downloaded
May 24th
Finally managed to download Teri Deewani (Album : Kailasa) beautifully and soulfully sung by Kailash Kher. Great thing abt this guy is his choice of words, most of his songs are written by himself and with this album he has also formed a new band by same name, Kailasa. Here are the lyrics – (especially like the doublet – tere bin jina kaisa, kya khudgarzi hai)
preet ki lat mohe aisi laagi
ho gayi main matwaari (matwaali)
bal-bal jau apne piya ko…
hey main jau wari-wari
mohe sud-bud nahi rahi tan-man ki
ye toh jaane duniya saari
bebas aur lachaar phiru main
haari main dil haari
haari main dil haari
Tere naam se jeelu tere naam se mar jau
Tere naam se jeelu tere naam se mar jau
tere jaan ke sadke main kuch aisa kar jau
tune kya kar daala
mar gayi main
mit gayi main
ho ji….haan ji
ho gayi main ….
teri deewani…deewani (2)
Ishq junoon jab had se badh jaye
Ishq junoon jab had se badh jaye
haste haste aashiq suuli chadh jaye
ishq ka jadoo sar-chadhkar bole
ishq ka jadoo sar-chadhkar bole
khoob lagalo pehre raste rab khole
yahi ishq di marzi hain
yahi rab di marzi hain
yahi ishq di marzi hain
yahi rab di marzi hain
tere bin jina kaisa
kya khudgarzi hai
tune kya kar daala
mar gayi main
mit gayi main
ho ji….haan ji
ho gayi main ….
teri deewani…deewani (2)
aye main rang-rangeeli deewani
aye main rang-rangeeli deewani
aye main albeli, main mastaani
gau bajaau..sabko rijhau
aye din dharam se begaani
aye main deewani ..main deewani
tere naam se jeelu
tere naam se mar jau
tere jaan ke sadke main kuch aisa kar jau
tune kya kar daala
mar gayi main
mit gayi main
ho ji….haan ji
ho gayi main ….
teri deewani…deewani (2)
Meri Kalam se…
May 15th
Mila kal mujhe mera jo Lakht-e-Jigar
gam ke sar-e-arsh mein dooba tha woh
[sar-e-arsh=seventh heaven]
jaane kis tasavvur ka shikar hua baitha tha
Har baat par gham-e shikra hua jaata tha
[tasavvur=imagination, shikra=a small bird of prey]
Poocha to bola ki aadam ki hi hai yeh hi fitrat
jahan dawa-e-dil maangta hai, waha hijr se bhi khauff khata hai
Kabhi khooshi se pagal ho de deta hai aansuon ki chamak
To kabhii gam se patthar ho kar bhi kabhii rotaa nahi …
My Tryst with FMCG
May 15th
Its 7 am, the lovely early morning breeze has long gone, taken hostage by the barbaric loo of the middle earth. But I have to go on to find the ring of power. I look upon the road am treading, the road half metalled, half torn, exposing the mother earth beneath. My vehicle, christened Maruta, tries rigorously to have both tyres, on the road, an attempt as futile as one of my friends’s summer project :mg:
But then the rugged machine can take it. With a load made diesel engine fixed on a wooden cart, its load carrying capacity can make a Hummer shy away! 15 people are loaded on it and driver expects a couple more in next village. Those who are sitting in Maruta are transfixed by the sight of a surd guy who is standing at the fag end of the vehicle, trying to manage the laptop with one hand and a nervous grip on vehicle with other. But the stares don’t bother me, for mind is captured by the four mystic words, “Welcome to FMCG Rural!”
Froddo was lucky; he was a Hobbit, had hardened feet (or so has been told by Mr. Tolkien). But not me, a hapless management guy, all dressed in formals, even my best of Lee Cooper shoes have become like a 40yr old wife – shapeless, heavy and non co-operative. But then even I treat them like a 40yr old husband then, i just pay no attention and think that I can still enter them for few more years!
The pyaas for real self
Apr 18th
Deaths and deaths, a millions of deaths,
I ask my heart if to buy just one or buy the shop of wreaths!
A death for every season,
A death for every reason,
And then people wonder my cast,
Why do I always fall to past?
Thou can’t feel the spikes in me,
It’s meant for me, just the dreaded me,
The remedy I don’t know of,
And even if I do, if I will ever take it, am not sure of.
Leave me alone, it’s my battle de grace;
It’s me who has to fight it, just need one coup de grace!
Did i lose myself?
Jan 12th
Seems like for past few months i have either had the cold, stones, cough, anti-insomnia or allergies to the pollen, or the swollen eccentrics or an ‘colourworld’ combination of these.
Suffice it to say, I’ve been a little off.
Still though, I am increasingly feeling like the only sane person surrounded by a lot of insane and insensitive people. Wonder if makes me more ‘separate’ or does it brings in me the more of me. With sanity all elusive around ya, u sure climb the ladder of maturity with high flux. It brings in a different flavour, a different whiff. Reminds me of a very nice pal of mine at my first work. Though smart and brainy, she just never got out of her insanity and finally compromised to live in the whirlpool of the normal mind. Little appreciations from people mattered more to her than her own. Still a good friend of mine, she is light years away from my real self. Hmm.. i shud sm day blog more, not to be read by others but to understand myslf more. Ha! Then they say that how can two people who live together all the time cant understand each other fully! Cmmon! Do u understand urslf? The ONE with whom u spent every single sec !
Do I know who I am and what I want? Well if I say yes, i may be lying like any other human around me, its almost as if I am wandering through the thick fog that surrounds the people I love and care about. Can I penetrate the fog? Do I want to? Or am I better off alone in my own world?
Pyaas!! Here i Come…

Dil se guftgoo…
Nov 5th
Jaane unhon ne mujh mein kya dekha,
jaane humne unhon mein kya dekha,
us dil ki kashish mein yaaro,
humne to bas khwabon ka jahan dekha.
Har din, har pal tha mukammal,
khushion mein tar-bdar is dil ne poocha,
kya isi ko jannat kehte hain,
jab humne unhon mein khuda dekha.
Phir ik roz na jaane woh kya tha,
koi bhanwar tha, sailab tha ya tufaa(n) tha,
khauff se aankhe moond lli humne,
jab khuli to ujra apna wohi jahan dekha.
Aaj phir dil ne poocha hai mujhse,
kya isi ko qyamat kehte hain…?
