Toote hue dil  mein armaan the kuch jaaga, Kwaboon me ek duniya lia sajaaye, Umeed ke saayon me aashra doondte the kabhi.

Zindige toh chalti gayi.

Kwaab saare raaqh hue Armaan gaye kuchal, Dil tha choora choor.

Zindige bas chalti gayi

Na Jane kab beet gaye ghum bhare saaye Khwaabo ki barsaatein chigar uthai umeed ki nanhi kaliyaan Laut aya noor ,andhere is dil mein

Kya ajeeb hai reet is duniya ki, Zindagi phir bhi chalti rahi.

Boston dynamics has become quite famous after the recent take over by the internet giant Google. The work done at Boston dynamics in my opinion, is ground breaking and far ahead in technology than any other country or firm has ventured into. The complex control algorithms mimicking that of real world animals to a high accuracy.

The recent acquisitions of Google spur up an all new thought process. Google acquired a total of 8 companies for their robotics division. If we look at the details of all these companies we get a fairly clear picture of what google is aiming for - building robots that look, act and work just like humans. The only difference, these new robots never get tired providing high efficiency.

 Coming from a region which always has temperate climate, the largest dip in temperature one could experience was rarely subzero and one had to travel high altitudes for this. Though I have already experience sub-zero temperatures during my stay here, snow fall was still missing.

Ever since setting foot on Sweden’s soil, the weather has been a slow transition for me,  from the weather back home. Never giving me a chance to feel the sudden change. Though I was mentally prepared for the harsh temperature I was warned about, there was never a situation to complain about the weather.

  On November 5’th this year India took a giant leap into space exploration by launching the PSLV C 25 to inject Mangalyaan Orbiter (Mars orbiter). Officially, this is supposed to scan for presence of methane to detect the possibility of life on mars.

The successful launch of this project has sparked a debate around the world: “How could India, with all its poverty support a $75m project”, being the gist of the debate. Here in this post I share my thoughts on this.

After running a few hundred google searches and pushing up the budget I finally bought myself a Lenovo thinkpad t430. It was quite heavy on the pocket given the configuration but its worth every penny.

Looks

The ThinkPad will never win a beauty competition, but who cares, It more or less looks like any other thinkpad you have seen. Matt black finish, so its not a finger print magnet, but yes sweaty and oily touches leave prints tough to clean up.

This is a quick post on fixing my laptops backlight. Everytime i reinstall a newer version of linux the back light is on full brightness or low brightness for my acer aspire 5741. the only fix for it on first time start up is to shut the lid and open it, this must be performed before the xorg starts.

The fix for this is to make modifications in the grub,

After “Kite runner” and “A thousand splendid suns” Khalid Hosseini’s" third novel “And the mountains echoed” was released last month. I am a fan of the way he brings out emotions in his books, story is just a part of what I like.

 The first book highlights the relationship of father and son, the second mother and daughter, the third  brother and sister. All three beautifully woven in their own ways.

Anjaani rahoon par chal pada, Duniya ke reet se lad pada. Kal ka tha ek ajeeb sa darr, Par dil se na mukar saka.

Manzil ki na fikr thi Jeet ka tha, matlab kuch aur

Zindagi ke shor me, Sanate ki talaash thi. Raat ke andheron me, Ek saaye ki aas thi.

Tanhai basi mehfilo mein,jahaan Yaar bhi bane anjaane yahaan

Umeed ke bal chalte hai, Kaaton bhari rah par. Khili hain kaliyaan nanhi si, Inhi ki mehek le, chalte chale

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass. 

For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas. 

And you make them long, and you make them tough. 

But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can’t get off. 

Oh, I know we’ve come a long way, 

We’re changing day to day, 

But tell me, where do the children play? /

Those were the lyrics of “where do the children play” by cat stevens. 

My last read was “The picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde.

The book takes you through the life of Dorian, a handsome youth who wishes never to grow old. This particular wish of his comes true, his soul resides in one of his portraits, So the portrait grows old while he remains young forever. A very interesting character in the book, is Lord Henry. A person with a completely different approach to life, and an out of the ordinary philosophy.(which can be debated,extensively) his influence on Dorian that makes Dorian live a narcissistic life filled with selfish deeds-without thinking defining them as good or bad ,keeping his youth as a shield for all his deeds.

Our deteriorating education system has taken another plunge, atleast in Karnataka. As i always complain about the education system we have here, here is another post which points at the blunders, which are about to set the dreams of many students ablaze.

The recent supreme court verdict, to have a common all India medical examination.

Though this sounds like a positive step towards National integration and promoting development to some, it poses a major threat to student studying/studied under the State university board.

Aankhon me kuch sapne sajake,

Dil me armaan jagaye,

Lia humne,pehla khadam -kabhi

aaj us zindagi ka hai aakri din

Waqt ke saath daud lagate,

hawaoo me udte khwaab jagaate

chale the kaanton par-kabhi

Aaj us zindagi ka hai, aakri din

hasi ki hum bazaar hote,

sab ki muskaan ki wajah hote,

dukh me sukh dhoondte hum,sabhi

aaj us zindagi ka hai,aakri din

Khel khel me bheet gaye

Sunehre pallo ke din,

In the last couple of years I have been part of couple of groups in college and outside college. There were a couple of them i had initiated, but they failed.

In the process I have learn’t alot.

The most important  thing for all members of the group is for them to take ownership of the group and work as a group, and not for individual gains, though individual gain will be a by-product.

Kidki par kadhe,Bheeten dino ki yaadein lia

Paani ki naali deekhe,Kaagaz ki naun banaali

Baarish ki boonden padhi,Bheegne bhaag chale

Panchiyon ko udte dekha,Unke ke saath kuch khaab bhi udhe

Baadal leheraati hui nazar aayen,toh socha zindagi yun leheraagayi.

Chamakte taaron ki tarah kuch puraani dil ki tamanna yaad aayi.

रात के अँधेरे में, उजाला देता चला

सूरज के रौशनी से, रातें सजाता चला|

हर लैला का आइना हूँ,

हर फनकार की माज़मुं हूँ|

बच्चों का मामा बना,

तन्हाई में सबका सहारा बना|

देखा सबने, रौशन चेहरा मेरा,

अँधेरे हिस्सों में छुपा है

गहरा सच मेरा|

Raat ke andhero mein- ujala deeta chala,

Suraj ki roshni lia - raatein sajaata chala. 

Har laila ka aainaa huu

Har fankar ka mazmoon hu
