Achanak hi meri duniya

Achanak hi meri duniya, bahaut takalif daiti hai, (1)
Voh aadat muskuraane ki, bahaut takalif daiti hai. (2)

Voh bachpan ki nami mukh par, voh mann ka saaf sa rehena,
Par ab aaena dekhu jabbhi bahaut takalif houti hai. (1)(2)

Voh dinbhar befikar rehna, voh khud ko baadasha kehena,
Aur ab bebash sa houne pe bahaut takalif houti hai.

Voh sach ka samana karana, voh mandir mein diya karana,
Voh chup rehena kabhi kis se, voh dhere dhere sharmana,
Par ab mandir ko kehne pe bhi, bahaut takalif houti hai. (1)(2)

English Translation:

Suddenly my whole world starts to trouble me, alot,
that habbit of laughing and rejoicing starts to trouble me, alot.

That cuteness on my face when I was a child,
That purity of heart when I was a kid,
and now when I look myself in a mirror,
it starts to trouble me, alot.

That careless living for day n night and ,
That behaving, as if I am a king, when I was a small,
and now when I find myself helpless and miserable
it starts to trouble me, alot.

That facing of truth boldly,
That going to temple and pray,
That staying silent by being afraid of someone for something,
That getting shyer slowly and slowly,
But now even to speak a word 'temple'
starts to trouble me alot.

SiLence: A Mysterious Language

When I am alone and quite or else in a group at a place where words have ceased to exist it’s precisely in those moments I feel an existence of a person name "NoBoDy" or at least that’s what I named him or may be her, I am not sure of its gender. "NoBoDy" speaks in a language weirder then its existence. I named it “SiLence”. "NoBoDy" even yells sometimes, just like us. And "NoBoDy" yells in so hard that I always try to switch to our action mode , the one which we are so much used to, and so are completely unconscious about, most of the time. I mean things like listening to music, thinking, planning, gazing at something, playing games, reading etc in simple words. I figured out that this makes it stop yelling. And so I try my best to kind of keep beating it every now and then, by using our action mode technique. "NoBoDy" belongs to "No Country” following “No Religion” and it’s the purest form of religion I have come to...

ASSumption of SCALE

During a recent Skype meeting with one of our lead developer, I heard him say "what if we have 100 times ... " Now don't get me wrong, I have been there and done exactly the same, various time myself. But not having been involved directly, gifted me an opportunity to look at the software development process a bit objectively, over the past year. And I have come to this, unshaken realization, which is to "stop daydreaming on SCALE" and consequently make costly assumptions that will leave its ripple effects throughout the project. Unnecessary "Tech Debt" in other words. Imagine a 10-year kid planning on opening a lemonade factory after selling just 10 lemonade, of which 5 are bought by own family and friends. This is not only naive but also super dangerous thought that developers think of more than they should, especially, young ones. I will like to remind and request all startup developers to remember a principle namely "Do Things that Do...

Be a Bolt

A few days back I was having an interesting discussion with my team and so thought of formalizing my viewpoint and share it with the world. Living a life of working more than 14 hrs a day, weakens the mind in many ways, for example, it starts to feel lazy, or gives up in the middle too easy, it gets restless or feels frustrated and angry etc. So it's highly important to remind ourselves about, what's the actual goal is and then consciously put efforts in clarifying every minor doubt we have. Now, there are few apparent differences between working in a startup vs working in a corporate. And in this blog, I will choose to throw some light on not so obvious ones. So kindly pay more attention than usual, cause, well, it's not so obvious. Being a part of the startup is exciting, teaches you plenty. Every day is new and you get to solve a variety of problems. This is obvious. But on the other hand, it also tests every last cell in you. It causes pain and stress, twice the ...
