nashaa hai tu, ay husn-e-aala
peene ko aatur hai ye matwala
par haath mein nahin mere pyaala
isliye pehlaa jaaonga madhushaala
(you are intoxication personified, ye beautiful one
and I am eager to drink till I drop
but alas, I don't have a glass
coz I left it at the wine shop)
The great original which I have imitated is by Harivansh Rai 'Bachchan'
and here you can find a translation of a few verses - the ones by Ramana are far better
let me end by a short praise of the author of this blog:
waah, ravi waah - bahut aala!
kyaa tune khaaya bharela karela?
(Oh Sun -you are great - so great you are past the stratosphere!)
piyo sar jhuka ke!

RRNT #1
Welcome to Angel's Revolutionary New Theory #1
-------------------------------------------------
A bird told me that all the folks she knew in the IT industry were dissatisfied. I nodded my assent but it wasn't until i got out early from office today that walking to the bus stop, an angel told me the reason by revealing to me ARNT #1 (No copyright issues with her - so feel free to publish it elsewhere)
Most people in the IT industry are discontended because they get paid hazaar and don't work enough!
Simple, yet shocking. And it's the truth. Nary a bunch of more conceited people like software engineers. We are for most part lazy - a trait we doubtless share with many more of our fellow homo sapiens, but that's not all. On top of that, we are _full_ of gas from half baked knowledge - and we demand outrageous money for it.
There is the seed for that vicious cycle - you go to a new company - they pay you more - you work a little more perhaps - but there is that gap still and you grow more discontent.
I'm sure HR knows all about this - but having no time for any D for development from their actual role of HRD, they just spend time getting the resources. Resources who will run away next year if not given enough bonus.
Not sure what the solution is - except that us software enggs do more work - but given that that is not always forthcoming, we need to perhaps give more away - after all, we can't say we will work for less, can we? Not us.

Beautiful day
The heart is a bloom... shoots up through the stony ground
Teach me - I know I'm not a hopeless case
With or Without U
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
on a bed of nails she makes me wait
