NISHABD

Last week....saw a movie called ANURANAN which starred Rahul Bose, Raima sen and Rajat Gupta. Its a must watch. The story was very moving. The best part i thought was the cinematography which was fabulous and believe me after a loong time (after FIZA was released) has a movie inspired me to write a piece of poetry....i wrote in hindi and its called NISHABD.

निशब्द

निशब्द होता है अनंतकाल के लिए,
शब्दों में क्यूँ रंगून फिर तुम्हे,
जब महसूस कर सकता हूँ तुम्हे हर पल,
हर पल जब देखे बिना ही देख सकता हूँ,

धुंध भरी उन राहों में मीलों चलके,
बर्फ की उन पहाडियों को मैं घंटों बस देखता रहा,
उन खामोशियों को क्यूँ करूं बयान मैं,
जब निशब्द ही मॅन एक कविता पढ़ चूका है

पर आगे नहीं जा सकती यह खामोशी और,
क्यूंकि एक सीमा है हर ख़ुशी की, हर सुन्दरता की,
शहर के शोरों में खुद की आवाज़ ना सुन पाऊँगा,
छोडे जा रहा हूँ तुम्हे यहाँ, वापस ना ले जा पाऊँगा

Sustained relationships...the corporate view (donn read...its a sheer waste of time)

Are sustained relationships an oxymoron?

well..the question is simple and yet complex....the answer is simple and yet complex.....jeez....whats with relationships man....they look simple and yet they are complex......

this sounds absurd....but bcos its not even been a week since my mba trim exams got over....my RAM still stores the theory on the "red queen effect'' from the strategy classes in mba......it said that a company on the top will eventually come down and lose its sustainable advantage if it doesnt protecet its core competencies weell....(oh my lord that just aint bad for a bad memory...smile smile)....in simple words...lifes a see saw until you manage to keep the saw (or the see....whichever is up....i always thougt it was saw on the top) up there for a longer time....

well...the same applies to a relationship i guess.....cloud number nine stays there as long as you want it to stay....u need to keep it goin....understand,compromise,love and the most important not repeat the same mistakes again. and surprisingly a company does the same.....understand its strengths and that of the competitor, undestand the needs of all its stakeholders, compromises when it comes to its weaknesses...loves whatever it does...its business and always learns from its mistakes......all this to stay at the top
