The Pursuit of Happiness

I am often called PJ by some of my very "Good Friends". It’s OK for me, coz, Initial of my Name and some of the very adorable mishappenings of my life almost resemble this title.

In some of my previous postings on my blog, I didn’t cope up with the above honour. I came to know this coz, after reading them, one of my very Good Friends called me up, complained and scolded me because she missed some expected humors from my post. I was deliberately reminded that what ever happens, what ever I do, and how much I am screwed, I must not miss “the Fun”, “the Ecstasy” and “the Humour” of being Piyush – What an sweet Irony…..!!!

I think I don’t deserve a better compliment than this one. I can make a few people smile, feel happy, from the expression of my thoughts and views of my life. This reminded me of my old college days, when we used to yell out every time we get screwed -

“Zindagi #@!* hai, fir bhi ghamand hai, kyonki ………..”

Ok ok ok ….. fill that yourself, I am not doing that, coz it’s a public place.

Phew…..

I have to try and work hard to keep pace with my reputation. Oh God ! Life is terrible…… no not really.…...Actually,

Life’s Best Always..…!!

Result of General Election 2009 – Bihar Fail

I know it’s a shocking news for everyone, but it’s the fact. Though the performance of Bihar was excellent, and as an approximation we can say that Bihar gets 8/10, but end result – Bihar Fail. The best part of the General Election 2009 in Bihar was that the Candidates backed with violence and corruptions were pushed back. The Parties who used to blackmail Central for profitable ministries and favorable decisions, were pushed back. One of the two major alliances came up with higher majorities giving Support – On – Sale a considerable rest. It’s not that I am supporting UPA or NDA but the fact that some opportunist Parties like RJD and LJP always blackmailed these Alliances for better ministry. And in General Election 2009 people of India denied this form of politics.

The worst form of it, no one from Bihar is going to get a major Portfolio in Central Ministry. So, no new expectations for renovation of Bihar can be expected from the Central. It’s a fact that Bihar has never been anytime favorites of Central. Therefore, the path of development without the support of Central is going to be tough for us. But lets hope for the better, we still have a very good government in Bihar, which is striving hard for the betterment of the people. I hope Bihar performs again in the next Parliamentary Election.

You say it best, when you say nothing at all

Sometimes it happens that when we call our dear and near ones (be it a family member or friend or someone called Nobody), we talk the usual things but we are unable to speak out our heart. One of my colleagues once introduced me this song which complete one's missing words that sometimes we wish to listen from her/him.

You say it best, when you say nothing at all
****************************************
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark

Try as I may, I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

(Chorus)
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where
ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd

Try as they may, they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where
ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

- Piyush

Bihar Again.....!!

An article from Times of India, Patna Edition, dated: 17th April 2009.

" PATNA: Bihar has earned the distinction of becoming the first state in the country to install Voters' Information Kiosks. Designed on the pattern of ATMs, voters can get information pertaining to their booth number, serial number in voters' lists etc. by keying in the name of the constituency they belong to, their name or other details......In case of similar names, voters would also have to enter their father's name. Apart from individual information, details can also be gathered about family members. "
The complete article can be read at Times of India.

After reading this, I found myself Lucky enough to be associated with the two projects of EC. First one was online Elector search application, about that I wrote in my previous blog. While the second one is honored by a very prominent News Agency of India, Times of India, Patna Edition.

The Best of Bihar is still left. It’s just a new beginning.....!!
