Being poetic

The rendition of 'Madhushala' (a few quartlets of it) by Amitabh in many of his interviews were always a treat to the ears. Thanks to Google, I can have a copy of it (and all the literature) I can ever think of. 'Madhushala' is a collection of 135 such quartlets which I have discovered only today & all of them end with the word'Madhushala'.
I have been through some of them & believe that our day to day incidences can be best described through any of these.(Well! remembering all of them should be a big thing to do & impress(?) people).
One of the 4 lines go like this -
मदिरालय जाने को घर से चलता है पीनेवला,
'किस पथ से जाऊँ?' असमंजस में है वह भोलाभाला,
अलग-अलग पथ बतलाते सब पर मैं यह बतलाता हूँ -
'राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल, पा जाएगा मधुशाला।'। ६।
which means that choose a path u desire & follow it, then you are destined to reach the place of your dreams.
The latest sher in one of the movies goes like this which is similar to the above
इतनी शिद्दत से मैंने तुम्हे पाने की कोशिश की है
की हर एक जर्रे ने मुझे तुमसे मिलाने की साजिश की है।

There is nothing new happening in life at the moment. The last news was that I quit Indal/Hindalco for good. This was difficult for a lot of people to believe. But then, I thought to leave the old shoe comfort. Quite an old pair of shoes it was! Around 8 years at the same place & doing the same things...i.e, being in the same department for all the while. Was really pissed off.

Have joined a new company. Travelling takes time & is a bit hectic. But feels good. Its indeed nice to see new faces, meet new people & keep going. Pankaj had come down to Mumbai. He was the one I have spent a lot of (most) academic time together. From 1st standard to 10th in New Bombay High School & then till 12th at Fr. Agnel Jr. College & till we got confirmed seats in Engineering we attended Swami Vivekananda, Chembur for a couple of months doing Diploma.
