Wo din aur ye din

Raah dekhi thi is din ki kabse,
Aage ke sapne saja rakhe the naajane kab se.
Bade utavle the yahaan se jaane ko ,
Zindagi ka agla padaav paane ko .

Par naa jane kyon ..Dil mein aaj kuch aur aata hai,
Waqt ko rokne ka jee chahta hai.

Jin baton ko lekar rote the Aaj un par hansi aati hai ,
Na jaane kyon aaj un palon ki yaad bahut aati hai .

Kaha karte the ..Badi mushkil se char saal seh gaya,
Par aaj kyon lagta hai ki kuch peeche reh gaya.

Na bhoolne wali kuch yaadein reh gayi,
Yaadien jo ab jeene ka sahara ban gayi.

Meri taang ab kaun kheencha karega ,
Sirf mera sir khane kaun mera peecha karega.
Jahaan 2000 ka hisaab nahin wahaan 2 rupay ke liye kaun ladega,

Kaun raat bhar saath jag kar padega ,
KAUN MERI gaadi mujse pooche bina lejayega ,
Kaun mere naye naye naam banayega.
Mein ab bina matlab kis se ladoonga,
Bina topic ke kisse faalto baat karoonga ,

Kaun fail hone par dilasa dilayega,
Kaun galti se number aane par gaaliyaan sunayega .

Tapri mein Chai kis ke saath piyoonga ,
Wo haseen pal ab kis ke saath jiyoonga,

Aise dost kahaan milenge Jo khai mein bhi dhakka de aayein,
Par fir tumhein bachane khud bhi kood jayein.

Mere gaano se pareshaan kaun hoga ,
Kabhi muje kisi ladki se baat karte dekh hairaan kaun hoga ,

Kaun kahega saale tere joke pe hansi nahin aai ,
Kaun peeche se bula ke kahega..aage dekh bhai .

Movies mein kiske saath dekhhonga,
Kis ke saath boring lectures jheloonga ,

Kere farzee certificates ko raddi kehne ki himmat kaun karega ,
Bina dare sachi rai dene ki himmat kaun karega.


Achanak bin matlab ke kisi ko bhi dekh kar paglon ki tarah hansna,
Na jaane ye fir kab hoga .


Doston ke liye professor se kab lad payenge ,
Kya hum ye fir kar payenge,

Raat ko 2 baje poha khane station kaun jayega ,
Tez gaadi chalane ki shart kaun lagayega .


Kaun muje mere kabiliyat par bharosa dilayega,
Aur jyada hawa mein udne par zameen pe layege ,

Meri khushi mein sach mein khush kaun hoga ,
Mere gam mein muj se jyada dukhi kaun hoga...


KEH DO DOSTON YE DOBAARA KAB HOGA!!!

My two cents on Satyam+TechM

So, it’s almost official now that Tech-Mahindra is the chosen one. The board has selected latter being highest bidder or to say TechM has chosen Satyam to change the game. But then how does it matter.

All that matters is post 07-01, the IT industry has changed forever and ‘this’ is possibly the biggest resultant and evident effect. This acquisition, which might turn out be a merger later has changed many prepositions. Other then numbers and finances it has changed one very important thing. The proud of being a Satyamite, the feel of being part of Satyam.

With due regards to all companies, I believe in Indian IT space Satyam and Infosys are the only two big companies where the associates take proud and feel love ( LOVE) in being part of it .

The feeling did not even change post 07-01 though it got a jolt. I have worked for lot of biggies of the game including TechM but never fell in love with an organization like I did with this one and that too in just two years!!

This name and the feel has got something which binds you. Initially I used to wonder how come people are with this company since 10-12 years despite of faulty policies, erroneous appraisal policy and what not, but now I know why , may be I am unable तो explain still.

And this will change. . Going by Mr. Mahindra’s and indication, the name Satyam may change .With that, the living legend of Satyam will die. Though the company will stay and will grow, under a new name but it will be a big IT company without soul.

As for TechM , I did not come across a single guy who was passionate about the company for the sake of it . They must be best of employees but no one, I met, could put his hand on his heart and say TechM.

Coming back to Satyam, what it has gone through has been enormous jolt and, just wonder how it survived ?

With my limited knowledge of corporate world, I do not recall a single instance of such a big resurrection. Which company will have 48000 people standing tall and saying, come what may , we will not give up . People offering paycut voluntarily , showing solidarity , delivering products on time, maintaining SLA’s and doing a BAU ( Business as Usual) .

Could this have been achieved by corporate culture’s any lesson or theory. For me answer is no , it could only be achieved by a company with a heart and soul . And Satyamites live on with this soul and spirit consitently showing the grit they are made of .

Raju what ever you did , but then thanks for giving us Satyam .

Kya hua Kya hoga

जीवन में आगे बढ़ते हुए
सोचता हूँ क्या हुआ, क्या होगा

जीवन के ये झंझावत
ये रोज के झमेले
चारों ओर से घिरा हुआ
खुद को पता हूँ अकेले
इस महायुद्ध में मैं
क्या हुआ क्या होगा

कितनी लगामों को खींचता
कितने अश्वों को साधता
खुद से खुद के इस युध्ध में
हर एक दिशा में भागता
उस कृष्ण के संग बिना
क्या हुआ क्या होगा

मेरे प्रिय ही हें सामने
अपने खड़े हें पार्श्व में
कितने चक्रव्यूह हें संग में
इन सभी में खुद को झोंकता
बस यहीं मैं हूँ सोचता
क्या हुआ क्या होगा

अब हारने लगा हूँ मैं
उम्मीद भी हुई है मंद
तुणीर हो चुका है रक्त
तलवार हो गयी कुंद

सूर्य के इस ढलान पे
शाम की अजान पे
मरुतनन्द के चरण में
रख के अपने आप को
सोचता हूँ
जो होगा अच्छा होगा

नहीं होगा तो ॥

फ़िर कुछ न होगा

ना मैं रहूँगा न ये सोच
