“Bazicha” means game and “–e-atfal” is from tifl=child
“Shab” is night, “roz” is everyday - used as day here.
“tamasha” drama/trick/play
Ghalib:Oh lord, you are trying to pacify me like a child, touting your universe as a toy. God, day and night and everyday you do the same trick. (Rotate the earth; make the sunrise, sunset, moonrise etc) . Small babies have a universe like rotating toy hung over their cradle. Don't remember what its called now !
“Ijaz”-miracle “masiah”-messiah/prophet “ijaz-e-masiah” miracle of the messengers
Ghalib: Solomon was a gifted king, and was enthroned by god himself. All prophets did some miracle or the other. Ghalib thinks Solomon’s throne and every miracle from the prophets is a just another trifling thing.
“Ghista”=rub jabi=forhead or could be jabeen=grand"
Ghalib: The desert is just moving/disappearing dust for me. Your(god's) grand oceans fail to awe me.
Mat pooch ki kya haal hain mera tere peeche
Tu dekh ke kya rang … tera mere aage
“rang”=color, but the meaning in this context is a trait/opinion/impression. Like if someone disappoints shocks or betrays the impression you have of him, you would say “what color of your personality I’m I seeing ?” Yeh kya rang dikha rahe hoon.
Ghalib: (This is where every other interpretation differs, there is no girl involved in this verse). Ghalib definitely asked for something from God and did not get it. So he addresses god saying, "Oh don’t you worry about my state, since you already have your turned your face away from me. You(God) should now worry about what impression(rang=color) I (Ghalib) will form of you(God)". Now the dislike/disparaging of god and his creations should make sense.
Imaan mujhe rooke hain jo kheeche hain mujhe kufr
kaaba mere peeche kalisa mere aage
“imaa/imaan” faith/belief in the unseen “kafir” disbeliever “kufr” act of disbelieving.
“Kabaa” a black stone building in Mecca, the direction in which muslim pray.
“Kalisa” church/cathedral
Ghalib: My faith is holding me back from completely disbelieving(kufr) in you (god). I have already turned away from you (kabaa), and I'm facing some other god (kalisa).
Go haat ko jumbish nahi, aakhon mein toh dum hain
Rehne do abhi sagaron-meena mere aaage
jumbish:movement/ability
sagaron: chalice meena:wine etc.
Ghalib: My hands definitely are inefficacious in attaining what I desire for. But .. my eyes can imagine what ever impossible desire I wish for. So at least let the alcohol be served to me.

@Pooja: Yes sure you represent the the genNext, buzz of and make way you old whtevr
@Mahajan: Dude, you don't even have an opinion on this ! go get high.
@Ali : Commenting anything him about is below my logical conscience. (btw which party is LJP). He enters the debate like a alpha male (rabid dog) on the prowl.
@Kamal Akhter: I can make sense of your diplomacy.
@NDTV : Oh well isn't NDTV part of the same media that relayed 26/11 as a REAL REALITY show. I haven't yet seen anyone of them coming out with a public apology or a protocol for not doing the same mistakes again. Hypocrisy is that the media hasn't YET realized the practical use of a polygraph test on politician. But when it comes to using a polygraph as a litmus test for a woman's propriety in a reality show(sach ka samna), the same media is completely tech savvy and at terms with it. The media plays on the minds of the society by portraying reality shows a MORALITY problem. For GAWD SAKE its not a morality problem, it a greedy business problem. I see it as media having the money and the means to BUY the deepest darkest secret from lazy attention ho's and sell them to the good for nothing average joes. Isn't the "REALITY SHOW" business model same as the porn industry. I'm not against reporting news, as the underlying in intentions are correct when reporting something that benefits the society or its simply for entertainment. But reality shows definitely is business and has nothing to do with morality, society or propriety. Media makes money, as we all do, but then I don't play pimp trading somebody's dark dirty secrets.
@Society: Lets accept it we like to see reality show, and may be try to fix it IF we feel its wrongs. Rather than, base our conclusions on a debate between the "absolute" irrational scum of the society politicians-media. To conclude I would say treat TODAY's politicians as servants aka KHALASI NAUKARS and media as your local gossip mongers a.k.a PANDOO KHABRI's. They definitely are no role models for morality, just have a good time looking at these morons fight it out !
My edit of Another dude(programmer) in the wall !!
"You! You! Yes, you! Stand still laddie!"
When we grew up and went to school There were certain Manager's who would Hurt the dudes anyway they could By pouring their derision Upon anything we did And exposing every bug However carefully hidden by the dudes.
What have we here laddie ? Mysterious callings ? Aperfect code Noooh -programs, no less - programs, everybody ! (ha ha ha) The laddie reckons himself a programmer
Data gets back I am alright Ack Keep your hands off my call stack ! New var, Caviar Start-up millionaire daydream twinkle by me A grand virtualization scheme.
Absolute rubbish laddie (smack!) Get on with your work Repeat after me. (An) release is the most important thing whose length is half a man-month .. and width is .... But in the bay area it was well known When they go home at night, their FAT and PSYCHOPATIC wives would thrash them within inches of their lives.
We don't need no obligation We don't need no micro control. No dark sarcasm in the mailbox Manager, leave them dudes alone. Hey! Manager! Leave us dudes alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
"Wrong, Write it again!" "If you don't fix your bug, you can't have any pudding." "How can you have any pudding if youdon't fix your bug?" "You! Yes, you laddie!" "...programmer, everybody! The laddie reckons himself a programmer!" "You! Yes, you behind the cubesheds, stand still laddy!"

No jokes - job loss is serious business but still this episode is worth a mention. There is a sizable sum of fresher from 2008 batch who had been offered a job at Satyam. With Satyam's financial fiasco unraveling itself, the fate of these freshers lies in a limbo. They have an online community on orkut named “Satyam 2008”. Below is the link to the NDTV article
A guy on the list comes up with a brilliant idea for show of unity. The idea is to collect a digital copy of the offer letter from all members enrolled on the orkut group (and send it to some basket case politician or something). Hmmm, I cannot explain it more spicy terms, if this hasn’t got you interested already. The truth of the matter is everybody is interested in everybody else’s offer letter. So someone surely was going to play foul. So collecting offer letters though a noble idea was surely not a simple task, (if to be done correctly). It’s a good game with a number of potential rouge players. Believe me they had a hard time doing it.
Ok…. the solution they came for collecting offer letters. 1. Create an email account satyam_offered_letters@XXXX pwd=XYXXXX 2. Post it on their orkut message board _ALONG_ WITH THE _PASSWORD_ and everybody mails theirs offer letters to this account.
YEAH … all set !!, some one should have fainted by now before saying “Please Explain” for such a wonderful scheme (pun surely intended). I would prefer, kindly saying WTF MORONS ? Even when I was a kid I would not have given the password for the account out, I mean password is only for girlfriends. Ha Ha Ha .... twiddling finger twidling fingers after about some time some one just changed the password, I am so @#!$@!#$@!# that someone at least had the brains to see the flaw in the scheme and now has access to all the offer letters. Act dumb …. beg dumb !. Thinking of it for sometime, I decided to come up with a slightly more secure scheme for gathering all the offer letters. It’s quite interesting and though it may sound super fanciful.
TASK is to get all the offer letters in a Central location and securely hand them over to the authority.
1. Select N most popular Coordinators amongst the group members who can physically meet up. (higher the N more secure the system, lower N’s are convenient). These guys are the leaders of the group, whom one can blame if anything goes wrong. The selection procedure is simple every member A of the group votes for every other member B in the group if A personally knows B. At the end of the vote the members with the highest number of votes wins. The system will fail if there are more bluffers than numbers of members who know the most popular members. The idea is still _fairly_ secure because it is difficult to predict and inject a number of bluffers to introduce to swing in the decision because neither the most popular person nor his vote count is known to anyone in the start. (Shhh ........ I know one can just add (count/2)+1 bluffers but it can be detected)
If all the coordinators run away with the offer letters there are chances that at least one can be tracked. This is because they won the election due to their popularity. Everybody then makes note of the ORKUT ID of the co-coordinators, (just to be sure they are not interacting with a person with the same name).
In the end you should get N most popular members ready to act as coordinators. employ some dumb tie breaks also, like in case of a tie choose a girl coordinator over a boy. This will make people enthusiastically send in their offer letters. Also a girl would coordinate sincerely and in all probability will not run faster than a guy if she decides too.
3. Prepare to Encrypt. The co-coordinators are ordered sequentially according to their Orkut-ids. Each of these co-coordinators publishes his public key on this orkut account. Each of the co-coordinator also publishes a digitally signed (using his private key) responsibility certificate claiming responsibility and some form of identification (ID/PASSPORT/ETC) signed using his digital signature. The responsibility certificates are augmented by digital signatures from all the members who voted positively for the given co-coordinator.
At the end of this step each of the coordinator has presented a digitally signed responsibility certificate and his public key via his orkut profile.
4. Encryption of offer letters. Every member then chain encrypts (one after the other) his offer letter using public key of the selected coordinators. The order of encryption is some order of the orkut-ids of the coordinators.
5. Mail in offer letters. Every body mails their encrypted offer letters to each of the coordinators on their gmail accounts (you can get this from their orkut profile).
6. Decryption of offer letters. All the coordinators meet at a selected location. This location is where the four roads meet & just to the left of the road that extends north. ….. there is banyan tree with a sage under it. The last coordinator in orkutid-order is then chained to the banyan tree (because he can run away in the end) with locks from all other coordinators. Then each offer letter is chain decrypted using the private keys of the coordinators. He then hands the offer letter over to the authority and is then unlocked and is beaten up by the security guards of the politician (because they won't understand the whole tree, lock blah blah blah thing)
(The scheme was outlined with inputs from my teammates , most notably Abhijeet Paithankar a.k.a BATMAN. )
When I was a younger child ( I mean youthful than I am now ), I had a very sweet playmates - my cousins. In those days, I used to play with dolls and game plan was to act like doctors and engineers. Me as usual always used to roleplay the most flashiest of roles. I always used to be the doctor and all other cousins had to be patients and patient. Sometimes I used to let some of them play assistants and "compounders" (back then the ones who used to dispense medicine from a small window). During vacations my cousins used to visit me for fighting and playing. I was notorious for trading toys, I would trade my toys and then ask for my toys back after breaking the cousin's toy. My toys were very rudimentary cranes and cars made with cigarette boxes, motors and batteries, light bulb from broken fuses, ball bearings in tablets etc. My aunts used warn my cousins saying "yeh ladke ke saath khelo par is ke saath saude baazi mat karo" (play with him but don't trade with him). Only one younger cousin was better at trading than me, he took my train just by crying for hours, and I got nothing in return, I still remember the day when he took everybody hostage using his histrionics.
So cousins used to come and go, but one cousin always stayed with us as our neighbor. She is very dumb or at least she used to be. I remember once when acting doctor doctor she forgot to bring her doll along. The doll was supposed to be her kid, and you know the rules of the game i.e. the kid is ill, I'm doctor the great and I fix her kid/doll. So the "no doll" scenario was pretty grim. As usual we decided to continue and instead found a broken granite tile as a substitute for the doll. Ok, so far so good. She bought the tile/doll/kid to the doctor(me) and then the doctor performed the most exotic therapy on the tile :). You guessed it right my friend, THE DOCTOR DROPPED THE TILE!!! Then .... hell broke loose, the tile was shattered to pieces (which can be taken care off) and my cousin started wailing and weeping as if it were not just a tile, but a real kid. The doctor in me gets pretty confused as to, was my cousin really crying or was a part of the act. Then she runs back to her house and stops talking to me :( for a while. Now, that I am pretty sure that she is wild on me for some wild reason. Unfortunately now I had no one to play with in the afternoons after school and she simply won't give up believing that I dropped the tile on purpose. I talk to my mom and my aunt and they in summary advised "stop playing with her ... you know she complaints a lot about you" (damn her - backbiter)
I continued to go to her house and play but she simply won't be the same and always had this acrid tone when talking to me. I knew all her dolls, the barbie, the teela (she is he-man's assistant) and the one doll that I gifted. The doll I gifted was had a milk bottle and every time you take that off her mouth, she started crying. It was for some reason not working. Me again !! I tried to fix it. To be clear I just wanted to fix it, and I had no intentions to make it up to her for the tile episode. when she was not around, I operated on the doll and got some box out of the doll and opened it up. It had a rubber band attached to motor pulley and for some reason it was out of place, I FIXED IT YEAAAH !!. The doll started crying again O YEAAHHH !! but I could not close the box up, I had lost the screw slots were broken. I quickly tied it up rubber bands and shoved the box somehow into the doll. I waited for her to come back and then showed her the crying doll. She was happy now, and said "faru bhai tumko ko sab aata, tum life mein kuch bhi ban sakte doctor engineer". I managed to be an engineer and just may be I could have been a great doctor too. Now you see, how can I con people simply using 2 rubber bands. he he ha ha ha.
