Change

sometimes you ask, sometimes you explain
you never know, when across the interview table
you will have to switch the place

one fine day starts with a locale support
By noon it becomes a conflict of jboss port
Evening is about the style and layout of the corp site
you can never tell what's the issue of the day
but one thing you can be sure of that remains the same,
the taste of wicked brownie over the coeffee talks
no matter when and how the subject of gossiping change.

so far meeting requests were for status calls and ordering sessions
today it has become all about design patterns and struts lessons
ofcourse speakers remain the same
but do you know when the topics change

one more day is gone
we are closer to fulfill another goal
be it an alpha release or an interview call
life brings every new day with a change
the spirit for life remains the same.

by a beautiful heart -

maeN to apna wajood Dhondati hooN
din kay is baywafa ujalay maeN
chaand ki ghumshuda si kirnooN maeN
maaN ki mamta maeN aur lori maeN
baap kay saibaan aaNgan maeN
bhai ki sher si kalai par
maeN to apna wajood dhondati hooN

mujh ko takhleeq karnay walay sun
maeN bhi takhleeq karnay wali hooN
aey zamanay tujhay khabar hi kiya
maeN hi dunia basanay wali hooN
par zamanay tujhay nahiN maloom
karb-e-takhleeq karb hai kaisa

janm lenay say pehlay hi maeN tou
apnay astitv ko gaNwati hooN
maeN agar janm lay bhi loon tab bhi
paida hotay hi dafn hoti hooN
ya to bazaar kay yeh bazaari
baich daitay haeN mujh ko biyopari
behn hooN maaN hooN ya maeN beTi hooN
phir bhi tasweer baybasi ki hooN
par zamanay tujhay khabar kiya maeN
apna astitv pana chahti hooN
zinda rehna azaab hai mujh ko
aur maeN zinda rehna chahti hooN

A day @ QS

It was a happy morning, a bit more pleasant because I got up early and my morning chores also included birds watching (of both types). I didn't think much when our MD (Haridev) asked me to see him on immediate basis even before entering the office, nor did I go deaf when he dropped the bombshell. For a moment, I thought its one of his prank.(HD, once you talk setting up an office in Pakistan, you lose the credibility). But when I was out and saw the familiar expression on Mangu's face, I knew it has happened. Not that it was new to me, but not so sudden was expected. And we both screamed in our hearts, 'Not again'. The other things that scanned my mind were the talks I had with the folks in convincing them in their decision to join the company. Anyway the announcement by VP about the decision to shut down the shop was pretty formal with nobody convinced of the reason. But how does it matter. The amazing thing was that nobody broke down.

Then the best thing happened. We gathered in a conf room to brush up some of the technologies likely to be asked in process of interviews. I was taking that session and HariDev jumps in. First it looked a bit awkward to go over all this in front of him, but everyone knows he's cool. And in the spirit of event, he himself couldn't resist for long. One mistake by me and he snatched the marker from my hand and after that there was no stopping. The passion he showed in explaining all his favouritees from the recruitment question bank to the depth, I don't think world mattered to him at the moment. Where would you find an MD of a company imparting training to all his folks to help them out in joining another ship.

I don't know what future is in store for all of us. But one thing I have seen off times and I strongly believe that if you have a trust in the leadership, half of the worries of such events are taken care even before they happen. Hats off to HD and wish best for everyone.
