code clicks ‘n’ caffeine

I read some arbit code
The trickiest one that I have ever known
Don’t know how to port
But it’s job to me and I read alone

I stare at empty screens
On the Boulevard of Broken Builds
Where the city sleeps
but I’m unlucky one and I code alone
I code alone
I code alone
I code alone
I code alone …

My music’s the only one that wakes beside me
My hollow brain’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I hope someone out there will help me
‘Til then I code alone

I’m scrolling down the file
That divides me somewhere in my mind
Why are these million errors
Of the build and why should I fix alone

Read between the lines
All’s fucked up and trillion hash defines
Check my vital signs
To know I’m still alive and I code alone
I code alone
I code alone
I code alone
I code alone …

My music’s the only one that wakes beside me
The night’s the only time when I’m working
Sometimes I dream someone out there will help me
‘And throughout the day I sleep alone
I sleep alone …

Lead India – India Seeks Her Future Leaders

An effort by Times of India which is a unique talent search and has the potential to make a huge difference to India. A hunt to identify new leaders for a new India, men and women with the vision and ability to empower India with the kind of political leadership that is so conspicuous by its absence.

I appreciate the fact that the contestants have done some good work (or even great) for the society and such people should be felicitated and brought in front of the general public but I am not sure about what an average Indian can help to support this initiative other than spending money on sms.

Although there is a lot of voice in support of this initiative, I somehow don’t get a feel that this will make some major changes in the current scenario of Indian politics. However the video which is doing the rounds on Television channels is very inspiring. Take a look …

“Tum Chalo … To Hindustan Chale”

A great and inspiring video with equally powerful vocals from Sukhwinder Singh and Shankar Mahadevan. Will try to get hold of lyrics and their English translation soon.

Few more videos by Abhishek Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra in support of Lead India campaign.

TOI has some great words to present their mission statement here

On August 15, we embarked on an ambitious journey — a unique talent search which has the potential to make a huge difference to India. We began a hunt to identify new leaders for a new India, men and women with the vision and ability to empower India with the kind of political leadership that is so conspicuous by its absence.
   The Lead India campaign stemmed from our belief — and overwhelming reader feedback — that even as India takes giant strides towards fulfilling its undoubted potential, it is doing so despite, not because of, its political leadership. ‘‘Good people don’t want to join politics’’ is an oft-heard lament. And yet, good governance is the cornerstone if India is to overcome the many hurdles that threaten to slow its journey to developed nation status. 
And so, we decided to provide a platform to the good men and women out there who refuse to be daunted by the system, and struggle against massive odds to make life better for their fellow Indians. We invited them to come forward and use the Lead India programme as a springboard to public life.

Will continue to follow up on this story .. hope this is just a beginning of something great

Need I say more? Yes, I got married exactly a month back which was the reason I was out of blogging space. I am still trying to catch up with all new things happening which is why i still cant believe that its been a month. Time really flies.

Anyways for those who weren’t there I have some good news, yes the eCopies have arrived and i have uploaded some selected few on flickr (slideshow recommended) but for the rest you will have to visit my place.

Will keep the posts flowing now and will upload pictures too, have tons of new photographs but I want to test some newly learnt PS skills before posting.

Wish to have

late mornings and want to be treated with tea and garama garam gobi paranthas?

evenings with mom and dad?

home cooked sumptious lunch followed by a small nap?

relatives and friends everyday at your place?

shopping sessions in the evenings?

0 attention towards work?

long vacation for nearly 3 weeks?

I found an easy way for all this - here 

Life is like an ice cream,
Live it full before it melts !!!
