R u also waiting?

Recently, a blood donation camp was organized in my company premise. In this regard a mail was broadcasted days ago.I am in habit of donating blood but since around one and a half year i could not get the chance to do this noble cause which just takes few minutes and a pure will.So i was really very excited to donate blood.On the day of donation,I asked several of my team members to accompany me but to my surprise most of them denied. I wanted to know why are they not willing to donate blood but no one could give any reason or better to say no one wanted to open that they are afraid of a reason which they neither know nor exist. Anyways, with this impression i reached the venue with a perception in mind, as not many people willing to donate blood so ill go there, donate blood and will be back not in more than one hour. But again to my surprise, lot many people were present there. I had to wait for more than two and half hour to get my turn.Not even this there were some who came from company offices and client locations which are located more than 20 Km from my office campus.Situation could be understood as organisers has to close registration long before (3 Hours) the closing time of the camp because they were afraid otherwise doctors will have to stay whole the night.I was really surprised that with almost same level of education how people differ in their way of thinking and their attitude towards life and society.

While returning, i was thankful to organisers for giving me chance to make my blood useful for others.I wanted to share same with my friends. Back at my flat i shared same with my friend and he gave me one more information ( sharing with friends always gives some added information) about a site where i can register myself and be open for to be contacted by needy people.Now i have registered myself and waiting for 3 months to be passed as i can not donate blood for next three months. I am sharing the same link here so as if anyonee unfortunately lands at this page, he/she gets at least something out of it.

By registering, now i will not have to wait for one and half years to donate my blood.So, Are you also waiting ???............

One evening with Coffee and "A Tale of Two Cities"

I hope, starting from my post “Love your LOVEs”, my writing has given strong indications of my introspection to rejuvenate my interests. The very first interest I found is writing as I have started writing, second 2 Gs and the third one I have found is Literature. I remember when I passed my 8th standard and entered in high school ( (back at my native place, high school is considered as the start of career struggle) and was reading one of “Super commando Dhruva Comics book”. My father saw me reading comic book and said “Anuj!! Now you have grown up, so stop reading comic books and jump onto literature.”....... He gave me a book written by one famous Hindi novelist “Shivani”. I don’t exactly remember the book name (perhaps it was ‘Rathya’). Afterwards I read many Hindi novels by Shivani and by some other writers. Thanks papa to develop a love for the books in me.
Yesterday I was alone and was wandering in a shopping mall, busy with window shopping. I had nothing much to do when I passed outside “CROSSWORD”. I went inside and started looking for a book to pass my half hour. Still I had to decide which book I should opt. This was the time I again started thinking which topic or field intrudes me most. Answer was history that too Indian History. I found the book “A Tale of Two Cities”. Basically “A Tale of Two Cities” is a book published in 1859 by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It depicts the plight of the French proletariat under the brutal oppression of the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution. In the original book the two cities are London and Paris. But the book I had in my hands is written by very famous Indian eminent Kuldeep Nayar and a Pakistani writer Asif Noorani.Here analogy has been done and two cities are represented by India and Pakistan. Both the writer tells their stories of migration between India and Pakistan. The only difference in their stories is, Kuldeep’s migration was forced one and to migrate was a hobson’s choice whereas that of Asif’s was volunteer and was inspired by better business opportunities. I will talk about more about this week later when I finish this book.

Initially, I was apprehensive about this book. Being from saffron family I have always put writers like Kuldeep Nayar, Romila Thapar, in neglected category as in my view they lack respect for ancient Indian History and Heroes that in turn infers proud on our own roots. But later on I started reading the book. Sitting in CROSSWORD, having book in hands, coffee and muffin on table is really a lovely time pass. With every sip of coffee and with every line about scenes in Sialkot in 1947, I started hallucinating an imaginary Sialkot around me. When I finished my time there (I had to as it was closing time for them), I recalled about COFFEE HOUSE in Lucknow where in past all the intellectual of the city used to discuss literature and Shero-shayri.

At the end of day I found something more which really intrudes me, gives me a nice feeling when I think back and inspires me to carry on what I am doing.

2 'G's of my life

On very first instance, topic of this post might look like stolen from blog "2 MODIs of Gujraat" by Rajdeep Serdesai. I would not completely deny it but these two Gs have really been very important in my life. Guess what are these two Gs.One G is easy to guess and other G is also not so difficult to guess. But WAIT!!!!!!.....I should stop behaving like any well known writer ( as Jagsuraiya) who has a great no. of readers.Number of my readers can very easily be judged by comments on my blog page. So no more flaunting, lets come to the topic. These two G stand for Gazals and Girls. Gazal could have been anticipated by my unfortunate regular readers through my last post and Girl could have been anticipated ny any of my friends (just by watching the way i stare girls). My love for these Gs spawned, almost, in the same time period of my life.

I was in 12th standard when i started listening Gazals. Most of the Jagjit Singh gazals, when i listened for the first time,i felt, it was not for the first time.just some beats of Jagjit Singh gazals even from any unkown source, were enough to captivate me.
As earlier i said, my love for the second G unearthed almost in the same time period. It was the time when i me and my family was expecting my "Bhabhi" to gift us with a baby. I was damn sure that i willbe uncle of a baby girl. My true love for G for Girl blessed me with a sweet niece. I still remember those unforgettable moments of my life when i used to have these two G's (physically) arround me. I used to take my niece in my lap, play gazals and used to keep on studying for hours. I used to talk her a lot even when she could not open her eyes. I love my these moments more than anything.
LOVE YOU MY SWEETHEARTS...................

Music brings miracle

I don't remember, in my small life so far, how many times i have overtly or covertly thanked my friend Pankaj. Toady i am again to say him "Thanks" and i don't know how many more times i will have to say, so its better i pretend as if i do not know counting or say "Main pannchvi paas se tez nahi hun".My recent thanks spawns as again he has given me something to write and to make me feel there is something which i still love.

I referred a gazal by Jagjit Singh which i found on youtube and really loved just by listening once.Perhaps my intention was to show him "Look Pankaj, there is one Gazal of Jagjit singh which i am aware of but you are not." However, "i really loved the gazal" is also a fact in the same way as "Sun shines in east" or some other fact in this world.I could not understand most of the worlds of gazal as those were in Urdu but love knows no language boundaries (perhaps it's too much filmy). It has been the case with me forever. I remember, when very first i listened "tum itna zo muskara rahe ho" and "Jhuki Jhuki si nazar", i felt it's not the first time i am listening these gazals. But when and where, it's still a mystery to me only. Afterwards, once i could trace my all time favourite gazal, "Nazar Mujhse Milati Ho", just by listening its music ( i never listened its music earlier to it) being played 2-3 house away from my home.

I never had to put effort to recollect words of his gazals.Perhaps this is the power of music which makes us to do something outstandingly different from our usual characteristics.I have never been a good observer or good listener but in case of gazals i have always been excellent.

Music brings miracle just like words.Music is something which is omnipresent and needs none of our five senses.Someone has said it very beautifully

"Like everything else in nature, music is a becoming, and it becomes its full self, when its sounds and laws are used by intelligent man for the production of harmony, and so made the vehicle of emotion and thought."

love your LOVEs

Since last few days, I am pondering upon all the activities I do. Although this is not my very first "thought process" about myself, this thought process is exclusive as I am not introspecting myself but I am investigating myself. Investigation, like a psychiatrist or a detective or a lawyer does to its patient or client. Purposes of all these professionals are same , that is to delve one's outer as well as hidden personality, to delve one's social as well as personal life, to delve to know something which their client him/herself does not know. The same way I am trying to delve my personality, my likings and my disliking. In past, when people used to ask me what is my disliking? I used to reply with proud and attitude, in this world there are only few things which I do not like. But now there are very few things which I like.
Now I have questions for me only. Anuj, how many works do you do which you enjoy? This question is not so horrifying for me as the next one. Anuj, how many works do I enjoy and would like to do in future ?...
Till now I do not have answers for my own questions. But for my readers (if someone reads it ) I have something from deep my heart. Always do what you like. My words in last line do not infer to not to do what you do not like. Circumstances may compel us to do against our liking. We must do the work for which we have been designated as sometimes we do not need work but work needs us. Still keep on doing what you like otherwise you will be left with no likings.........
