Adieu

Taken from a video post on Reflections By IITians. IIT Kharagpur recently celebrated its 59th foundation day. It just reminded me my old KGP days and revived the nostalgia. I'm sure it will remind you your college days too..

A life which is to end
Only when i'm no more
A life which transformed me
In a fighter to the core

A season of love and friendship
For eternity which will last
In my future to follow
I will long to relive this past

Memories of this part of journey
I'll carry all life long
Memories of those precious moments
Which made my life a beautiful song

My eyes go teary
Emotions fill my heart
As my days left here are few
Now its time to bid adieu

   Four Rules for Effective Negotiations
   

After reading these posts, i realized how miserable i was in a recent negotiation (i was desperately looking for a +ve outcome but lost it even before i could start presenting my side of the case)... definitely worth reading; not sure how much a reading can help but something is better than nothing. And in my way of thinking, first step towards fixing a problem is to realize that there is a problem. :-)

बस यूँही...

आज फिर उस गली से गुजरे हम
हुए पुराने लम्हे रूबरू
तुम न थे दूर दूर तक कहीं
फिर भी की हमने गुफ्तगू...
