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.

Swimming against the tide 🏊‍♂️

Need a favor! I will not have asked unless it was urgent and required. So please I do expect your full support in return 🙏 Why?  What's Happening?  We have taken up a fight against all the big whales. It’s been a couple of years and the fight is getting intense. The market is tough because of Covid-19, the Ukraine war & the inflation in the USA. And of course, the whales are not liking it any better that we are trying to bring down their prices. So basically, I and my team at BillTrim are swimming against the tide 🏊‍♂️ and need a tonne of support to make it to the shore safely. We have recently pivoted our business model from trimming your bills and charging 25% to something quite more appealing & committed called " BillPay ". Now, we not only negotiate your bills but also keep tabs monthly to make sure they stay lean and paid on time. This is another step towards our goal of having BillTrim be free for all users. We have finally decided to get into fight mode a

Asking the RIGHT question

It's surprising how human communication is so flawed and no one is paying attention to fix it at the fundamental level.  Just like the languages in Technology are evolving, well so should our human language. But sadly the language we use daily, to get by, isn't evolving to simplify our needs. We do introduce new slang and some words to our vocabulary every year but that doesn't help much.  Because of this oftentimes it's not that the answers don't exist, it's just that we aren't asking the right question. And this is true when it comes to asking questions to a computer or a family or friends or colleagues etc. Even media houses seem to be intentionally ignoring this and becoming more of an entertainment+ gossip propagator instead of helping society find answers and evolve. Let me give you an example. Let's say we want to know an answer to: How do I lose weight? Well, the default behavior is we stop here and immediately start looking for answers. But inst

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
