Something Bloody Brilliant - Suleiman Mirza

Well this is crazy.. i get two links at same time from two friends, one in delhi and one in toronto. Both links direct me to one video which i call an absolutely brilliant act.
The act is by Suleman Mirza & Madhu Singh on Britain's Got Talent aired on ITV on Saturday 26th April 2008, It was veiwed by a record breaking 15million ppl (including repeats).

When Punjabi Music Blends with Michael Jackson and A Sardar is there to add up the spice, You can expect nothing but an awesome performance on stage.

Friendship with God

Many a times when the phases of life are down and spirits are not high we start questioning GOD on why me? Do i deserve this. I always feel i am more complaining than one who's thankful to him for what ever he has given me in life.

Lets take a practical example: There is one teacher who is teaching us to get us all passed in our examination. We feel that some people are getting extra attention and some are being ignored even though the teacher is giving equal attention to all. Now if we are feeling that we have extra attention, no one will even think to question the situation but if we are on side where we feel being ignored, we will crib on why its happening and then until we share this feeling with teacher, teacher wil never be able to catch your mind set. BUT the condition to share is that you study and follow what teacher is teaching. So when teacher knows there is one student who is learning what i want to teach and feeling this way. then teacher also makes sure next time onwards that doesnt happens to you.

Now just take God as teacher and class as students. and getting feeling of ignorance is the time when we feel god is not with us and favouring some other people around us. Always Always Thank God for all the times he gives.Try asking one question to yourself "Is the current situation because of my own deeds only?" If the answer is YES , then be patient and go throguh the tough times and if the times are good, try to collect as many memories out of that as possible and try to cherish them in times you feel down. This surely helps.

One another thing to start feeling good about things around is to stop complaining. Try to be one who answers than the one who questions.

How to be Friends with God: You just need to have courage to ask for things from him and don’t just ask for things, need to get the feed of his name as well. If you are friends with him; inspire others and if not, try to be friends. Try to feel associated with him always. This would give the courage, would give you the strength and spirit to live and enjoy life.

was just a random thought that came so shared.. dnt mind :)

Two Classmates :) Elza and Alice

So finally I got time , hardware and mood to write my post. Its been quite a while and I feel much better than a week before. Life moving in Sine wave..so I want to get straight to point and lemme write whateva I wished to: need to set agenda to cover everything.
Two Incidents that I mentioned in last post ;)
Ok so the two girls I wanted to write about ; names wont be written but I would give them imaginary names, Elza and Alice.. nice names na.. I know :p
Ok so both have been classmates and Elza is in my company only but in different location.So its been a year now since we last met, our last meeting was our final exam viva which took place 14th may last year. So last week , I got a call from her and she wanted me to meet her one friend which had come to Bangalore for a long weekend break.When asked for a reason, got a harsh reply "Meet and get to know yourself." Actually she had sent something and wanted me to collect. So I called her friend , we knew each other already so not a problem in fixing a meet. Friday we met at Forum and what I am getting is a packed gift which states the following statement on the cover “Remember you are the 2nd Best , coz I am the best” . When I opened it, it was something that touched my heart. I really felt special at that time that there is someone who cares. At that time I was very much upset about some things but that day, I felt different and then thought to just think of that gesture of hers and avoid other things. I don’t think we have been in greatest terms when it comes to friendship but have been there with each other when the presence was required without asked for. That I feel made the bond different and stronger. Now this friend whu acted as middle man ,was here for Bangalore darshan so I asked her to come to Gurudwara Sahib and enjoy the langar on Sunday.[End of Ep-1]
Next came Sunday, and I went to gurudwara sahib, and after the samagam got over, During the langar [Free food served], who I see,along with this middle man friend, is Alice who was also my classmate and now in Infy here in Bangalore. I knew she was in Bangalore but never got to meet her. When I met her, there was excitement ; at the same time I wanted to avoid her,reason being she was my crush in my college times. But now as times change,i feel people change and personalities change. And I could sense that I also changed and so did she. Why why why.. when I met her, I felt happy and as the conversation went, I got to know that I was kinda interviewing and she was answering only. So after some time I also stopped and a sweet good bye with hope to catch ya soon wishez happened.

Come’on now she was a classmate, would have loads to say and listen but why should you be doing that if other person dint even care to show interest or just exchange numbers.. seems like four years of engineering were dumped in seconds.our mutual friend who was excited after eating langar nearly after a year, also wondered on how Alice was behaving as if we were meeting for first time. But then you can say this is how life is.
Anyways, over with this incidence and have more things to think and look on. So hardly have time to think..
Cheerz for now.. wil be back soon.. dont have much to write about these days on myself.. so i kinda avoid writing sometimes here..

Current Status of Life: Not Good Not Bad

Bangalore BarCamp - Camp without a BAR

My plans of going to chennai were shattered by my teammates who were moving out of planned trip and at the end when only 3 people were left, we decided to call it off.. !! but i wanted to be do something on the weekend and suddenly this site www.barcampbangalore.org flashes up and i find it pretty interesting concept and simple way to get into the camp was either by volunteering or taking a session.

This was my first time so i decided to support someone's topic and volunteer myself for anything that was required. 19th-20th were two days for barcamp and venue was IIM Bangalore.
Day 1:
10 AM- I reached the venue an hour late but luckily the camp also started half an hour late so i caught the intro session on what all things are planned for the day. The concept was pretty new so i went on to become a good listener and catch the idea as soon as possible and i was able to do that. Registered myself and went on to see the Time Table. Ok So the concept is very interesting,we have 4 rooms with projectors and audio systems and we have some 4 Dari's placed at different corners. The rooms were taken by the people who had demo's of their products , people who had power point presentations. Dari Sessions were more of more of discussion rather than presentations. Best part of camp was being a mix of Tech and Non-Tech discussions which balanced the hi-fi tech fundae with light-fun discussions. So i started my day by joining presentation by Ashish on Logo Designing. It was revision of all concepts i tried during my time at home. A pretty simple and straight guide to logo designing.Finishing it, i moved to Blogathon Discussion . Blogathon.in which is organising Blog Marathon across India on various Issues which affect Indian People and had nice time listening to people on various issues and getting inspiration to be part of it. Blogger doesnt works in Office so i can just write it when i get time and not be part of Competition which is running this week.I then went to see demonstartion of LifeBlob Social Networking Site which lets you live your life w.r.t time-line. The Concept is very interesting and in very early phases so will take some time to catch up the fever and spread. Currently this site is invite only and I am on it now.. :D After having lunch, we then had much anticipated session on Lesser Known Aspects of KamaSutra- The Art of Love Making. :D it was a dari session. I was done with my lunch and had nothing to do so sat with shashi way before session started.By the time session started, 15 people were there and by the time it ended, crowd of 50 was there waiting for the session to continue following day. Shashi took almost 90 minutes to explain various interesting facts which were mentioned in the book.Except the art of making love which he said was not his area of talk, he told all of us things to take care to Patao the opposite gender and man.. the way he caught the attention,all of us were laughing every minute on somethin or the other. He took lot of time to tell the 64 arts one should possess to attract.:D.. no furthur explanations.. :D Following it, we all went to discussion on Dating and we had one hour of talking about dating.Meri Kahani, Teri Kahani, Sab ki yehi kahani.. thatz wat was gist of all the discussion. then we all went to feedback session in audi and we all left with hope of better next day.

Day 2

Sunday , I started from home @ 9.30 but i had to come back home; reason i had left my cell at home. Reached IIM @ 10 and scheduled my session at 12.15 on Existance of Girl. I wanted to project this problem but i forgot that my session timings were same as that of Shashi.Me and Raj, who planned to take the discussion furthur with problem of inadequate health facilities to pregnant women. and as per our expectations, i ended up having discussion with Raj on my issue and he having discussion on his problem with mine. Right opposite to us was Shashi's session which was House Full :) . BarCampers were more interested in knowing art of love making with women, without knowing the fact in time to come, there might be no women to make love :P.. he he coming out of it, i attended session by Myspace on how to build their Apps and it was nice informative session. The First half of day ended with we all moving to lunch in canteen and the food was better than previous day. After Lunch, i moved to discussion on Free Lancing and all queries on it.Coz i had done the same earlier, i was able to share my experiences.Free Lancing Sites like getacoder.com, elance.com were the routine sites shared by all.Then there was discussion on palmistry,astology and graphology by all of us in Dari Session which went off the topic within 10 minutes. There was deadlock to situation on talks that your fate changes every 7 years. I had gone with no perceptions and came back with same :D ... so for me, graphology is science which can depict your personality if studied correctly. Although first thing i might read would be my horoscope in TOI bt if its not in my favour, i wont even think of it during my daytime.. ;) Session on google adsense followed next and all the FAQ were answered on it.I also went to see concept of RangDe of pledging money for one year @ 3.5 prcnt interest which would be in turn used for providing loan to someone who needs that money. Pretty Interesting Concept.Coming to end of day,I attended Lightening Talks which was last one for me and i heard quick 3 minutes talk on topics like Enterprise 2.0,Microblogging,Sub Notebooks and how to improve education in engg colleges etc..Last but not the least was the feedback session.
This was my first barcamp and i thoroughly enjoyed it and i look forward for many more to come.
For me Barcamp turned out to be the place where i could express myself ,learn about the latest technology trends, make myself aware of latest ventures in market and where i could present myself on any topic. :)

DID I MENTION I GOT TWITTERED. More on Twitter in coming days..lemme get hold of that site and use it properly.

Things i missed: I missed session[s] on introducing the incubation centre at the IIM-Ahmedabad and the CIIE's initiatives.That session was in huge demand and i think 3 sessions took place.. and i came to know about all of them only after they got finished... anyways.. check the website and understand the concept; its really kewl one.CIIE website

I also missed Kwippy's demo and RIA [Rich Internet Applications] Sessions by Adobe Team. :D and loads of other room and dari sessions

Cheerz to all the planners and participants who made this event a success.

Current Status of Life: Cheerful, Happy and Smiling :)
