Busy Tuesdays ...

ahh !! another busy day ... things are so much predictable and repeatable !

After working in software industry you tend to see the patterns of things going to happen and repeat, like it's friday and you are about to sign-off and suddenly someone just pings you up to tell the release is giving some issues. You know it will take only 5 minutes to resolve and then you will be free bird and then you end up spending your weekend fixing the same.

Tuesdays are so much predictable for me. They are mostly busy. Might be because my US team realizes things are going wrong on monday (which is the time we are sleeping in India and its already Tuesday for us) and next day i.e. tuesday for me goes explaining and doing some research !

Hey I am busy today .. so this blog is short and over after the fullstop on this line.

Lazy Sunday ....

This Sunday was like any another lazy Sundays spent sleeping, reading and thinking a lot !

Watched lots of movies, "Seven Years in Tibet", "Last Samurai". "Babel" and a horror "Dead Silence". I guess horror movies have formed a part of my so called "movie-diets", they keeps my adrenalin pumping and make me realize that i am still so much human ... still afraid !

Last friday I watched the over-hyped and awaited Hindi Movie "Jodha Akbar". It was a sheer waste of time and money, but still I will like to thank the makers of the movie for two things:

1. For the song "Khwaja". It really enlightened me spiritually. Never felt so close to GOD !

Hopefully will be traveling to Ajmer next month to Dargha Sharif. (A long drive of 500 Km from Delhi). It has been long since I visited any place of worship, I can't recall any after my 10th standard, which will be like around 10 years now!

All this weekend I studied lot about "Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti" also known as "Garib Nawaz". His teachings are really inspiring me.

"Those who are true Lovers of God give away both of the worlds for the sake of their Beloved and even then feel that they have done nothing worthy."

2. For provoking my interest in History again. I did a little reading about Indian history from Indus Valley to Maurya and then to Mughals.


After all that readings, I tuned my Guitar. It has been long since i played the guitar. Few weeks back only Shauz had gifted me a tuner, so i thought of respecting his gifting and atleast try tuning using it. I quickly tuned my guitar and played some old time chords, which i loved to play. I hope i will be practicing more from now on.

Now I am all set to start my work ... Hope to be regular with this blogging too ... !
