I AM...................

I am what lies between the beigining and the end and further beyond.

I am a feeling that comes, touches you and slowly slips away, i am and I am not.

I am in you and still I will never be.

A careless feeling, dat haunts and humms somewhere at the back of your mind and is not and will never be and yet you will remember me......

Work like you don’t need the money.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Sing like no-one’s listening.
Dance like no-one’s watching.
Live like there’s no tomorrow.

LETTER

LETTER

A Desi chap was deeply in love with a pretty girl, whom he wanted. But he did not have the courage to talk to her in person.

So he decided to go alone and with the help of a dictionary, he wrote a letter of proposal to her.


HE WROTE :

Most worthy of your estimation after a long consideration and much mediation, I have a strong indication to become your relation.


As to my educational qualification, it is no exaggeration or fabrication, that I have passed my matriculation examination (no doubt without any hesitation and very little preparation).

What do you say to the solemnization of our marriage celebration according to the glorification of modern civilization and with a view to the expansion of the population of present generation. On your approbation of the application,

I shall make preparation to improve my situation, and if such obligation is worthy of consideration it will be our argumentation of the joy and exaltation of our joint dissimilation.

Thanking you in anticipation and with devotion; To remain victim of your fascination.

SHE ANSWERED :

Dear Mr. Victim of my fascination,

Congratulation for your lengthy narration of course full of affection aimed at an affiliation for a combination which on examination I find is a fine presentation of your ambition.

You have passed your matriculation with little preparation, what about my graduation after a long botheration, so improve situation in education and make an application by acquisition of post graduation and minimumqualification for the convocation and before taking your photo for circulation undergo beautification.

Further strict observation of the following conditions is the regulation for the determination of our relation.

1. Consultation of my parents before approaching for my connection.

2. Communication of your confirmation that you are not a victim of any fascination and,

3. Procreation must not be your recreation.

In anticipation of a solid action instead of continuation of paper conversation.

I Remain, unaffected by your affection.

AN EQUAL MUSIC- VIKRAM SETH

Perhaps this could have stayed unstated.

Had our words turned to other things

In the grey park, the rain abated,

Life would have quickened other strings.

I list your gifts in this creation:

Pen, paper, ink and inspiration,

Peace to the heart with touch or word,

Ease to the soul with note and chord.

How did that walk, those winter hours,

Occasion this? No lightning came;

Nor did I sense, when touched by flame,

Our story lit with borrowed powers -

Rather, by what our spirits burned,

Embered in words, to us returned.

BY VIKRAM SETH

UNCLAIMED

To make love with a stranger is the best.
There is no riddle and there is no test. --

To lie and love, not aching to make sense
Of this night in the mesh of reference.

To touch, unclaimed by fear of imminent day,
And understand, as only strangers may.

To feel the beat of foreign heart to heart
Preferring neither to prolong nor part.

To rest within the unknown arms and know
That this is all there is; that this is so.

Vikram Seth

मत करो कोई वादा जिसे तुम निभा न सको,

मत करो कोई वादा जिसे तुम निभा न सको,

मत चाहो उसे जिसे तुम पा न सको,

प्यार कहाँ किसी का पूरा होता है,

इसका तो पहला शब्द ही अधूरा होता है.. !!

...............iska Jawab...............


माना की प्यार का पहला अक्षर अधूरा है,

लेकिन 'प' को निकल दो तो यार रह जाता है

और आप जैसा यार हो

तो ज़िंदगी से भी प्यार हो जाता है



...............remember Always………..


यूं तो प्यार करने वाले तुम्हें कम न मिलेंगे,

मिल जाएंगे हम जैसे बहुत ,,, पर हम न मिलेंगे.




...............now Enjoy...............



उन्हें भूलने की कोशिश की मैंने,

दिल ने कहा याद करते रहना...

वो हमारे दर्द की फरियाद सुने न सुने,

अपना तो फ़र्ज़ है उन्हें प्यार करते रहना...............

Kafi arsa beet gaya
Janay ab wo kaisa hoga
Waqt ki sari kadwi baten
Chup chap hi sahta hoga
Ab hiB bheegi barish me
bin chhatri ke chalta hoga
Mujh se bichde arsa beeta
Ab wo kis se ladta hoga
Achha tha jo sath hi rahte
Baad me us ne socha hoga
Apne dil ki sari baten
Khud hi khud se kahta hoga

Sirf Itna Hi Kaha Hai, Pyaar Hai Tum se
Jazbaton Ki Koi Numayish Nahin Ki

Pyaar Ke Badle Sirf Pyaar Manga Hai
Rishte Ki To Koi Guzarish Nahin Ki

Chaho To Bhula Dena Humein Dil Se
Sada Yaad Rakhney Ki Sifarish Nahin Ki

Khamoshi Se Toofan Seh Letey Hai Jo
Un Baadlon Ne Izhar Ki Baarish Nahin Ki

Tumein Hi Mana Hai Rehnuma Apna
Aur to kisi Cheez Ki Khwahish Nahin ki

वो भूखा था फिर भी लड़ता था...

वो भूखा था फिर भी लड़ता था...
वो घायल था फिर भी बढ़ता था
लिए ज़ख्म जिस्म पे अपने
वो आगे ही आगे बढ़ता था
पथरीली चट्टानों पर
लिए बन्दूक कंधो पर
दुर्गम से दुर्गम पथ पर
वो न थकता था न रुकता था
बस आगे ही आगे वो बढ़ता था
तूफानी नदियों में
बर्फीली तुफानो में
बस वो मुस्कुराता रहता था
कभी बनता सहारा पल भर का ..
कभी किसी की जान बचाता
वो मसीहा सा लगता था
वो एक फौजी था जो बस
आगे ही आगे बढ़ता जाता था
खून से सने वर्दी में
वो जो कदरदान था तिरंगे का
न थकता था चिलचिलाती धुप में
लगा सर पे टोपी
बस ख्वाब अमन का देखता था
वो भूखा था फिर भी लड़ता था
भूल गया था उस मासूम को
अपने एकलोते नए प्यार को
माँ बाप भी याद नहीं है उसको
याद करता है बस भारत माँ को
सामने दुश्मन के वो तूफान
कभी मासूम कभी हैवान
दुम हिलाता था दुश्मन भी
जब शेर बन वो दहाड़ता था
बस वो लड़ता ही जाता था
वो बस बढ़ता ही जाता था ......
"जय जवान "
है लिए हाथ में हथियार दुश्मन तक में बैठा उधर
और हम तैयार है सीना लिए अपना इधर
खून से खेलेंगे होली गर वतन मुस्किल में है
सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
हाथ जिनमे हो जूनून कटते नहीं तलवार से
सर जो उठ जाते है वो झुकते नहीं ललकार से
और भड़केगा जो शोला सा हमारे दिल में है
सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
हम तो घर से निकले ही थे बांध कर सिर पर कफ़न
ज़िन्दगी तो अपनी मेहमान मौत की मह

Mashups

Mashups
In the context of learning and assessments mashups can be categorized as follows:

1. Portlet – configured by an end user
2. Page (Web, Wiki or Blog) – configured by a web author
3. Data – configured by a programmer
   

Portlet Based Mashup
Portlet based mashups provide different “windows” that interact with different and separate applications and users can move these portlets around their screen to meet their own personal requirements.

Page Based Mashup
Page based mashups are configured by the author of the web page, wiki and or blog to determine where application data and interactions might occur.

Documentation, learning content and assessments are often available throughout an organization’s infrastructure but challenging to find and they are especially difficult to find in context. Wikis, blogs and web pages can be used to expose existing resources, wrap context, to provide a meaningful learning and/or assessment experience. Learning mashups can improve learner experiences and learning outcomes.

Data Mashups

A data mash up is where data is drawn from different data sources and displayed within a single page. In this style a programmer constructs a program to retrieve the data, from different data sources, and then display it within a web page.

Will you dance with me tonight..

It’s been so long
Since I’ve known right from wrong
Got no job, sometimes I just sit down and sob
Wondering if anything will go right
Or will you dance with me tonight

When the sun departs
I feel a hole down in my heart
Put on some shoes
Come down here and listen to the blues
Wondering if anything will go right
Or will you dance with me tonight

I’m looking at you
You’re looking at me
We’re the only two off the dance floor
Do you see what I see
Two broken lives working in harmony
Might make for a decent time
So get up and dance with me

I know that it seems that the grass will grow
Better on the other side of the barb wire fence
But that other side is not in sight
So I’m fine with what I have now
If you’ll dance with me tonight

What’s the point of life
If risk is just a board game
You roll the dice
But you’re just hoping that the rules change
What’s the point if you can’t bring yourself to say
Things you wanna say like
Dance with me tonight

no need to apologise, really!

no need to apologise, really!

some times at night when I flop on to the bed
I think of what I should or should'nt have said
everything seems to have happened by chance..
should I or should'nt I have cared for a second glance?

no one is all evil, not everyone perfect
its best not to have too much to expect
everyone trapped in their own little world
in their own actions and emotions they're hurled

its ok if sometimes I cant get
whats going on in your mind
there are some awkward pauses i'll bet
but its time to leave all those behind

so let you be you and let me be me
