One for the road...

Composed this before my US move, in remembrance of the good times I had with my Indian team mates.

It is time to go a little far away,
To the land of MacDonalds and Subway,

I am sure going miss all the fun,
Most of which were PJs and making pun.

Be it the XITE events or a quick moment of gag,
Always made sure everyone had their tail wag!

Life in the team has been always in the fast lane,
But towards the end it has turned out to be sweet pain!

Not to forget the technical discussions,
Which bettered us at our professions.

I wish you all the very best ahead,
For achieving more than just butter and bread!

There are issues to fix...

How can I sleep when there are issues to fix,
User mistakes and code issues, they come in a mix.

Not sure if these issues should ever end,
Coz it's never perfect till all of them are mend.

For now it looks like done,
As I am left with just one.

Tomorrow might not be as busy,
But then life should not be too easy.

What I have done, seems to be the best thing,
The proof of which will be only in the pudding!

How can I sleep when there are issues to fix...

There is so much to slog...

There is so much to slog,
No time to even update this blog.

Time seems to be flying each day,
And I keep moving ahead, come what may.

Friends and colleagues advice me to rest,
And probably spend some quality time in my nest.

They do care for my well being,
But I know this slog is just for the time being.

With almost 16 hours a day spent at work last week,
This slog is not for the meek.

This slog should result in a release soon,
Else I run the risk of being termed a prune! :)

There is so much to slog...

It's that day of the leap year...

It's that day of the leap year,
Birthday on which do the school kids fear,

No idea why we have such a calendar,
So what if it was a year that is regular,

It's that day of the leap year,
Which you can keep aside for an extra beer,

An extra day it adds for you to earn your salary,
So does it add a day to everyone's diary,

It's that day of the leap year,
Between 2 seasons, it is neither foggy nor clear!

Not Sure...

Not sure what to write today,
Or may be am not in a mood to say,

In either case it has been peaceful of late,
As each passing day takes away a date,

Not sure how far in life I can run,
But I need to promise myself that I will have fun,

Fun with what I choose to do,
At the end I will just have myself to prove,

Not sure when would I attain that one dream,
But am sure it is not just a whim!

Oh dear Pigeon!

Oh dear Pigeon,
we don't doubt your sense of vision,

If you can pardon my terrace,
we would just have a cleaner surface,

I can give you water in summer,
And can occasionally satiate your hunger,

Please understand our pain,
next time on, shit in some drain!




Pigeons are frequent visitors to our terrace. Earlier they used to pick on the basil leaves, and now that we have moved the basil plant to a different place, they still frequent in search of I don't know what!
Their level of alertness can put the security guards to shame, and they fly away even at our slightest movement from this side of the glass doors.

H-O-P-E

I  HOPE the weekend doesn't end so soon,
I  HOPE the Sun doesn't take over the Moon,

I  HOPE I achieve my dream some day,
I  HOPE to do it, come what may,

I  HOPE I keep writing this,
I  HOPE this blog doesn't end up as "Ignorance is bliss" :-)

Ok, on a serious note...
I am not at all a movie buff, but on some very strong recommendations over and over again, saw this movie -'The Shawshank Redemption' a few weeks back. It shows a man's determination, courage, mental acumen and most importantly HOPE to get himself out of a sentence he's serving because of circumstantial evidences going against him.

I would say this is a MUST WATCH movie for anyone and everyone. Apart from being truly entertaining in its script, it throws around some very good dialogues, has some very good actors (Morgan Freeman being my favorite in the movie) and also carries a message.

Do watch it when you get a chance, sure the movie would keep you clinged right till the end.

I HOPE you really do watch the movie, and this space again :-)
