Lucky Ali singing

Jaane kya dhoondta hai, ae mera dil
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi
Jaane kya dhoondta hai, ae mera dil
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi

Raaste hi raaste hain, kaisa hai yeh safar
Dhoondti hain jisko nazrein, jaane hai voh kidhar
Jaane kya dhoondta hai, ae mera dil
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi

Bechehra sa koi sapna hai voh
Kahin nahin hai phir bhi apna hai voh
Aise mere andar shaamil hai voh
Main hoon behta dariya, saahil hai voh
Hai kahan voh, voh kidhar hai, raaste kuch to bata
Kaun sa uska nagar hai, rehguzar kuch to bata
Dhoondti hain jisko nazrein, jaane hai voh kidhar
Jaane kya dhoondta hai, ae mera dil
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi

Soona sa hai mandir, moorat nahin
Khaali hai aaina, soorat nahin
Jeene ka jeevan mein kaaran to ho
Maheke kaise kaliyaan, gulshan to ho
Shamma hai jo mujh mein roshan, voh viraasat kisko doon
Door tak koi nahin hai, apni chaahat kisko doon
Dhoondti hain jisko nazrein, jaane hai voh kidhar
Jaane kya dhoondta hai, ae mera dil
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi

Making Memories

Each day is special. Specialty of day lies in your smile! You get up from bed with smiling face. You listen your niece calling your name, asking you to take her in your arms. Your loved ones still sleeping. You smile at them and go to kitchen. Tea which you make, is liked by all and by you also. You get ready for offc. Sun shines in sky. It makes you feel warm and happy in chilling winter. Your near-dear one gives you a call. You talk a lot. Your topics don't end. You enter in offc. What a lovely bouquet! At reception pretty flowers welcome you. At work you find tasks are on track. Team members have geared up. You go for breakfast in canteen. Wooo, you meet your another near-dear one. You open mail box and see acknowledge mail. You see hi from friend. You are ready to party with your loved one. Life rocks. Keep smiling.

Viewpoint

It had been a month or two in new unit now. I was posted in a new project, so in new unit. My life with new project started. New project, new office (Tieto has two office premises ), new colleagues .. yeah 1 known and 4 unknowns, new things to learn.
Was happy to go ahead plus was feeling sad for friends, as we wont see each other daily. Life makes you move.. And I shifted to EON.

No Induction..no training..no KT.. no work desk also .. Ha haa.. though i had not expected much but work desk?
Disappointment started to grow. First day at work was nice. Colleague was working and I was watching work he was doing. Bit boring, sit and watch. My thoughts were flowing from Project to Finland, from Office to my niece. Nothing special to remember except i was able to help him in understanding requirement.

Next day was full of excitements. Some team meetings, sprint planning,.. and we uninvited! We were not selected for this project and some miscommunication had happened. Ohh God. "If not this project, then which, when and what" lots of questions were on mind. Secret was not disclosed till next day. We were put into 'exoteric' project, still it is 'esoteric' project. Tieto's framework project! Used by many and liked by minimal.
Second time in same week I was feeling like I have changed my home. I was excited to get into this project. I had never thought I will get opportunity. I would be part of it. People whom so ever i had met and who had used this framework were unhappy, they used to feel they are bound by framework. There faces used to turn in blue, when i used to say 'I am in this project'. My views were also not different in past. I wanted to change this. Its a just a framework, and with some unwanted things you get lots of helpful things! So look at those helpful things. Now after spending so much time in this project, knowing in and out of it, understanding what more functionality is has, seeing upgradations done, my views have changed. I like my project now.

Life goes on. With time your likes, dislikes changes. You grow up in experience,knowledge,risks taken,thoughts thought. Your views change. Same has happened with me. Don't fail in giving your 100% while doing any work even if u dont like it at the start, at the end you might start liking it, who knows you may fall in love with it. Let yourself flow with time.

It's view point which changes ! Experience this !

एक उनाड दिवस

Udaipur

No one can imagine visiting Rajasthan in Summer. It happened this year, more specifically Udaipur and Chavand.

Chavand is on the way to Udaipur. I attended wedding in Chavand. Wedding was very beautiful, colourful and lively. You will love their weddings. People were very welcoming, jolly. Though we were guest of one family, everyone from bride's family, groom's family, neighbors and many unknows treated us as there guest too. Our special care was taken time to time. I enjoyed food there. Most of the dishes served had home made Ghee poured on them. Papadi, Daal bati were too yummy. Chaas(Buttermilk), aamras, kalinggad(watermelon) were served throughout in lunch and dinner.

Wedding was at Bride's home. Found many customs similar to Maharashtrian wedding.

Few pics from wedding:

Next day was dedicated for exploring Udaipur. It was bright sunny day. 50°C temp made me insane but still enjoyed roaming in Udaipur. We were heading to City Palace. Road to city palace is through lanes. That small lane was KhauGalli. Sweet shops were loaded with many types of Sweets and were filled with crowd. We also hit one Gulabjamun's thella. Cook was frying Gulabjamun's and then serving them hot. We tasted one, later we started eating them ;)  I had never ate so many Gulabjamun's in a day before in life. Hot, soft, delicious Jamun's. Hmmm.. i miss it

Many small small lanes were filled with shops. Colourful clothes, bangles, hand made crafts, glasses,  carved cutlery, cushion covers, decorative pieces. Man you must visit Rajasthan again and again.

Shopping shopping

Nice Sari..hmmm..

Udaipur is famous for its lakes, temples, palaces and gardens. Jotting down few famous sculpture below.

Udaipur City Palace:

Maharana Udai Singh II established his new capital, Udaipur in 1559. He built the small City Palace. Other buildings and structures soon mushroomed around the palace. The palace is made of granite and marble. The palace is surmounted by balconies, towers & cupolas.  It is placed near Pichola lake, Monsoon Palace and famous Jagdish Temple.

Monsoon Palace

After entering through the main gate 'Tripolia' you reach 'Hathi Pol'. Here Elephants were parked. Fight between elephant was famous at Maharana's time. The main part of the palace is now preserved as the City Palace Museum. The entrance of museum is called as 'Ganesh Deori' that leads up to the 'Rajya Angan'. Ganesh's statue is placed in palace. After crossing the courtyard you enter into an armory section, that exhibits a vast collection of protective gear, weapons including the lethal fatal two-pronged sword.

Symbol of Mewar

Rooms within museum and palace are beautifully decorated with mirrors, tiles and paintings. Some tiles exhibit Mughal Kari and some exhibit Hindu Designs. You will few tiles imported from China, on them God/Goddess are painted with narrow eyes.  The Surya Chopar has a huge, ornamental sun-the symbol of mewar dynasty, the origins of which are traced to the sun.  The Mor Chowk (Peacock Square) has beautiful mosaics of the peacocks.

Guide which we hired was x-security guard. He showed us Palace with passion.

One imported glass is fit onto the palace. Its colour changes as per sun lights fall onto it. When we entered palace its colour was pinkish-maroon and when checked around 5.30 6 o-clock it was turned to yellow.

Jagdish Temple:

This is Lord Vishnu's temple. At entrance two huge elephants are carved. When you enter temple beautiful statue of Garud (Eagle) is present. It is in form of half man and half garud.  Vishnu's idol is four armed and made up with black stone. Wall of temple is carved with dancers, elephants, horses

There are many places in Udaipur which you would like to visit, like Fatesagar, Badi, Gulaba, Sajjan Gadh.
