Let it snow,Let it snow,Let it snow

Sitting by my window side seeing the light snowflaking outside is not-so-common-awesome experience. To add to top of that listening to the song "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow".




आज का दिन कुछ ख़ास रहा । Charlotte में आज बर्फ़बारी हुई। मैं तो इससे जलसे कि तरह लेता हूँ , मैं उन लोगों में से हूँ जो बर्फ़बारी से २६ साल से वंचित रहे ।

यहाँ बर्फ़बारी आम नहीं है पर आम (mango) कि तरह ही पसंद की जाती है । रात से बर्फबारी शुरू हुई और सुबह तक जारी रही । सुबह उठ के देखा तो सफ़ेद चादर बिछी हुई थी , फिर क्या था अपना कैमरा निकाला और निकल पड़ा बाहर ( ऑफिस जाए भाड़ में) ।

तो लीजिये प्रस्तुत है यहाँ कि बर्फ़बारी कि कुछ झलकियाँ ।

2009


Wishing all a Happy 2009 year to all readers. I pray this year to be prosperous and safe for India. No more terrorist attacks.

It's also time for resolutions. One immediate coming in my mind is to do a lot of photography and travel in US.

Also want to sort out my messy life and lifestyle. To begin with we did a massive cleaning of our house today on 1st Jan :-) and cleaned the car.

Hope this sanity prevails over me.

Strange


Recently read this somewhere and initially found it strange but later it started sinking in.

"Strange though it may sound, even if light didn't exist there would still be the speed of light and it would still have the same value. The speed of light is part of the geometry of space-time and the fact that light travels at "the speed of light" is almost a cosmic afterthought. Gravity and the so-called "strong force" also travel at that speed."

Mixed Bag

I have been neglecting my online life for quite some time now. Just being plain lazy.

I have recently registered on StumbleUpon service and has installed its toolbar and i would admit that my internet experience has really been enriched , stumbling upon some good sites. I would encourage people to try it.

Here is my profile on StumbleUpon: http://iubuntu77.stumbleupon.com/

Will like to share few interesting stuff.

Bruce Lee playing Ping Pong :)




Also I would like to share few good sites I stumbled upon

And at last , a beautiful poem i read recently by Faiz Ahmed फैज़

Thanks to Neha for putting it on her blog from where I read it.

तेरी समुन्दर आँखों मे


ये धूप किनारा शाम ढले
मिलते हैं दोंनो वक्त जहाँ

जो रात न दिन, जो आज न कल
पल भर में अमर, पल भर में धुंआँ

इस धूप किनारे, पल दो पल
होठों की लपक, बाँहों की खनक
ये मेल हमारा झूठ न सच
क्यों रार करें, क्यों दोष धरें
किस कारण झूठी बात करें

जब तेरी समन्दर आँखों में
इस शाम का सूरज डूबेगा
सुख सोयेंगे घर-दर वाले
और राही अपनी राह लेगा।

Actions,Actions and No Talking

I feel pleased to hear that Shivraj Patil has resigned (forcefully or voluntarily). Vilasrao Deshmukh is next.

I don't have my anger against these two politicians, but ownership of what has been done has to be taken, no more blame games.

Now what we need are actions.

This time it will not be the case of "suffered and forgot".

World's Fastest Indian

World's Fastest Indian is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It's a masterpiece played by Anthony Hopkins.

Based on a true story about Burt Munroe from New Zealand.

One of the best inspiring movie you can watch. Dont have words to explain it.

Go and see yourself.
