On People being our biggest asset

This beautiful article made my Holi a lot more colorful...

Reproducing my favourite lines :

"Lots of businesses run this way. Words like "productivity," "efficiency," and "innovation" are defined by goal posts of our own creation: number of units shipped, revenue and profit, EPS and shareholder return. But when you think of the world this way, you forget two things: first, people, and second, that the numbers themselves are not a product. Both are symptoms of a soulless approach to business: when who we are is dictated by strategy and metrics, what we make lacks humanity — in terms of both our products and services, and the cultures we cultivate "

Kaise Kahein Alvida

ODing over this number from the movie Yeh Saali Zindagi. The lyrics are enthralling and the music puts me at piece.

Kaise kahein alvida, mehram
Kaise bane ajnabi, humdum
Bhool jaao jo tum, bhool jaayenge hum
Yeh junoon yeh pyaar ke lamhe nam
Kaise kahein alvida, mehram
Kaise kahein

Geso resham, labh par shabnam
Woh behakta sa dil
Woh dehekta sa tan
Bhool jaao jo tum, bhool jaayenge hum
Yeh junoon yeh pyaar ke lamhe nam
Kaise kahein alvida, mehram
Kaise kahein

Woh raatein woh sehar
Woh sukoon ke pehar
Bhool jaayenge hum bhoole kyun hum magar
Jee jaao tum, jee jaayenge hum
Yaadon ke zakhm par, zindagi marham

Kaise kahein alvida, mehram
Kaise bane ajnabi, humdum
Kaise kahein

Fallen Eyelash


Sometimes I just want to be a fallen eyelash.I can live for a moment on your cheekbones and be the desire in your mind.
And when you let me fly away, I can be the hope in your heart.

Hidden Lines

There is beauty in privacy. Some lines are meant for my eyes. Which is why one fine morning I read a draft in my inbox and smile. I view these places in my inbox as shelves with hidden toffees. Some day its lemon, some days its chocolate.
