Dil Deewana

Dil ke kone se ek aawaz aati hai,
Hame har pal unki yaad aati hai,
Dil puchta hai baar-baar humse,
Jinhe hum yaad karte hai,
Kya unhe bhi hamari yaad aati hai.

Rishta aisa hona chahiye joh hamein APNA MAAN sake,
Hamare har DUKH KO JAAN sake,
Chal rahe ho agar hum tej bearish mein,
Phir bhi woh paani se alag mere AANSU PEHCHAAN sake.

Dekhlo awaaz dekar pass apne paoge,
Aaoge tanha par Tanha na jaoge,
Dur reh kar bhi tum par hai nazar meri,
Thaam lenge haath, jab bhi thokar khaoge.

Dil ke karib wo is kadar pehle na the,
Dil ki dhadkano me is tarah shamil na the,
Ye kya ajab si khumari chane lagi hai,
Hum mehfil me ho kar bhi u anjaane na the.

Chahat par ab aitbar na raha,
Khushi kya hai yeh ehsas na raha,
Dekha hai in ankho me Tuthhe sapno ko,
Isliye ab kisi ka intezar na raha.

Kisi par itna eitbar kyon hai,
Dil me ye chahat ka sumar kyon hai,
Lagta hai ye dil kuch khata kar betha or
Sab kehte hain k yeh mujhe iss kadar usse pyar kyon hai.

Jab koi paigam diye nahi jate,
jab koi nagme padhe nahi jate,
yuh mat samajhna hum bhul gaye aapko,
khayal toh aate hai, bas lafz jud nahi paate… ...

Tanhaiyo se nahi ham mehfil se darte hai,
Duniya se nahi hum khud se hi darte hai,
yun to bahot kuch khoya hai humne,
na jane kyon unhe khone se darte hai..

Sharp is ur memory, sweet is ur name,
deep in my heart u'll always remain.
Earth wants water, flower wants dew,
I want nothing but a smile from u.

Warren Buffet - Second Richest Man

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity.

Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!

2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.

3) He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.

4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.

5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.

6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.

7) He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

8) He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch television.

9) Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself.

Letter to Boss...

A Boss looking through his Mail Box was astonished to see
a mail from an Employee who was supposed to be busy working at Clientside
on a critical project. It had the subject - "TaTa - Bye Bye". With the
worst premonition he opened the mail and read the content with trembling hands:-

Dear Sir,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, but I'm leaving the job. The offer was too lucritive and attractive for me to turn down. I had to abscond because I wanted to avoid a scene with the HR and you.
I am sorry but I had no choice. The project is working fine. There are only 108 issues pending, out of which only 38% issues are High Priority. Hence I am sure there is noneed to worry about. The next Phase of major enhancements I have been working upon, have been completed halfway. I am sure the new person who would replacement would not understand what all I had done so far. Hence, for his and your convenience, I have taken care to remove all the work that I had been doing this far for nearly 3 months now. I am sure you will appreciate my insight and "big heart".
I am ofcourse retaining the Originals that I had retrieved for the purpose of Passport verification with me, considering it as a parting gift from you. Ofcourse, I will not pay the bond amount that I owe the compnay(since IAm breaking the bond). But I will consider this as a parting gift fromour Dear company. I moving out of town since the new company is situated inanother City.
Also, I have changed my contact number. So you will not be able to get in touch with me, to congratulate me. But I know your blessings are always with me.Last but not the least. I also have the 7000 Rs entrusted to me by our company's cultural events group, for the upcoming movie event. I am sure you would have wanted me to keep it with myself as an added bonus from our company. I respect you very much, hence your wish is my command. I thank you for that in advance, and assure you that I will surely invest them wisely (but not in your company's stocks of course).
Don't worry sir. I am 2 years experienced now, learning so much from your company. So I will surely use this knowledge to write better programs for the new company. Someday I'm sure we will meet sometime in the future. If you wish, I will surely be glad to give my employee reference for you to apply for a job in the new company which I am joining.

Your faithful employee,
S. W. Engineer

At the bottom of the page were the letters "PS". Hands still trembling, the Boss read:
PS: Dearest Boss, none of the above is true. I'm am still busy working at client side. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my "Request to reconsider my Salary Appraisal" attached with this mail.
Please approve it and call when it is safe for me to come to our Office to discuss this. My respect and Best Regards to you!
