Fursat

In Nazm-o-Ghazal on April 16, 2008 at 1:13 pm

Dila batana jo kabhi bikhar jaane ki zurrat ho,
Chalenge ruyat-e-jaana ko jo kabhi aarzoo-e-kurbat ho.

Ae dilsitaan Ji lete hum paradil hone par bhi,
Kya kare tab ki jab dil hi dil se rukhsat ho.

Jumaam hota hai eena-e-chashm yaad me tiri,
chhalak jaata hai sagar jo kahi jumbish-o-harkat ho.

Dilshaad the hum bhi yoon pamaal-e-gham na the,
Kya kare ki jab kisi dilzaar se muhabbat ho.

Sirhaane aakar jaga dena hume neend se ‘ghafil’
mire khwaabon me aane se jab tumhe fursat ho.

Bahane

In Nazm-o-Ghazal on April 14, 2008 at 10:20 pm

Aaye the tere deedaar ko peene ke bahane,
Dhoondhe hai dil kuche pe tire jeene ke bahane.

Asar kuchh aisa hai barq-e-beamaan ka,
Likh baithe hai shayar alif, seene ke bahane.

Maye-khwaar ban baitha hain pyaar me ‘ghafil’
Utha laata hai meena, eene ke bahane.

Fooling the radar

In Booze! on April 12, 2008 at 7:04 pm

Mama I raised the bar,
I fooled the ray-yay-daa-are.
Couldn’t find that somebody called me,
Am a lost boat in the vast blue sea.

She asked: “Are you anywhere?”
“Yeah babe I am almost there.”
Sniffed life to come this far,
Mama I fooled the radar.

Fast chorus:

Hey hey Mary Jane I blew my vein
I walked in the sky, fucking insane,
You get me high every time you sigh,
I know it’s late, can’t say goodbye.

Normal:
Am searching me in the but,
I have a feeling in my gut.
Saw me ‘morrow, will again yesterday
Just need to buy some belief at the ‘bay.’

She said: “Not any more”
I was sunk on the shore.
They say she leaves a scar,
Not on me, I fooled the radar.

I love LinkedIn!

Hullo,
Just came back from MT and finished adding a few more alumni on my LinkedIn network. LinkedIn rocks. I mean it. I hade made my profile a few days back but I updated it yesterday and started adding IITK junta. Last year, I had initiated a program called the Gymkhana Documentation Program wherein we were supposed to compile lists of all the past General Secretaries of Students’ Gymkhana complete with addresses and other information. We could complete the names part but addresses to most of these elites eluded us. To my pleasant surprise, I found many of them on LinkedIn yesterday and that’s when I became a fan.

You can create a darn good profile, fill up your details (education, goals, past experiences, positions held, current work) and add other people on to your network. One can ask questions, answer queries, receive business offers or just socialize. I like the professional projection of the entire networking concept, way better than Orkut (but then both serve different purposes). It also makes applying for jobs, schols, interns very easy. Just provide the link to your LinkedIn profile and stay cool!

Do make your profile,

Onion.

My LinkedIn profile bazza!
