Confused.........

     Last week was a hell of time for my brain. I had to think, think and think.... It all started with the Lehman campus meet. The meet was good. But the after-effects were not. Just as the train had left Vikroli, I got a call from Lehman brothers’ office that I need to come back as my “future” team members wanted to take me for a dinner. I was totally confused as it was really difficult for me to go back. I didn’t have a ticket to return back to Kanjur Marg Station. Also from there I would have to take a rickshaw to reach that end spot. It was really confusing. I called Rohan and Swathi who were also called back (but luckily had not gone too far). I even asked Sidscope for an advice. Finally, I got down at Kurla only to realize that it was merely impossible to return. I called Rohan & told him that I wasn’t coming back.

     If that wasn’t enough I was struck by the thought of doing programming in the financial sector. I am still not sure if it is really beneficial for me to join Lehman. Ya, its true it was me who wanted to do MBA 6 months ago. But times have changed. You get to see more sides of a particular thing. It’s not mandatory to continue with your mistakes, especially when you know that they are mistakes. Lehman is not bad, in fact it is really good. But is it really what I want? I am yet to find the answer. Yes I am still confused.

     Things would have been better though had I got into Webaroo. I think I want to do more programming, more core programming rather than just the interfaces. I have just passed Micorsoft IT Apex test and have been selected for the interview. Look at my luck. The test was in Pune and now the interviews will be in Hyderabad. Certainly not the happiest thing for a person who hates going out of Mumbai. But I take it as challenge. Life does not give you a second chance. Its giving me now and I don’t want to mess it up again….

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

My Favorite Song

I always loved marathi songs. Be it the usual film songs, or the ever spiritual bhakitgeet. I am great fan of Vasant Bahar (the collection songs by Vasant Desai, Vasnt Prabhu and Vasant Deshpande). But all these songs were recorded in older times, before the 80s. In fact there were not many songs from the 90s which were really great. The emphasis was more on Comedy and the music paid for this. In fact there were songs which were "combo" songs containing the marathi versions of many popular hindi songs. Post Shwas era however has been much more encouraging. There were some amazing numbers like Radha hi Bawari, Man Udhan Varyache, Malhar vari and more. The song which I am going to mention here was an special addition  to the "Aga Bai Arechya.." audio CD. It was got the modern touch which I think is essential for Marathi songs if they really want to compete against the Hindi or Punjabi songs.  Sung by Swapnil Bandodkar, this one is at the top of my favorite songs list

शायरी

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................
