Our product and its engineers got a special mention at the vSphere 4.0 launch at VMWare's Palo Alto headquarters today! :-)
John Chambers shared the stage with Paul Maritz and not only thanked all the engineers, from VMWare and Cisco, for their efforts but also came up to the few who could attend (restricted number of passes!) and shook hands with each one of them, close to 20, in between his talk!
Feeling elated to see the recognition our entire team got for the hard work we have put in for the past 2 (ok...nearly 2) years! Congrats to the whole team and way to go!!
N1kv rocks!!! :-D

baaton baaton mein
Some songs have a monologue or dialogue exchange at the start or in between antharaas, which is more powerful than the song itself. Who can forget Amitabh Bachchan's 'main aur meri tanhai' in 'yeh kahan aagaye hum' or Sanjeev Kapoor's and Suchitra Sen's dialogue exchange in the song 'tere bina zindagi se koi'.
Then there are other songs, let alone dialogues within it, which come and go away so silently that most of them would not know they exist! One such song, from Veer-Zaara, which comes during the opening credits of the film, has a monologue by Yashji (Yash Chopra of course! :) ). I find it, and the song and the music, very peaceful, hopeful, nostalgic and nice...
Listen to it here: Kyon Hawa
ek din jab savere savere surmaye si andher ki chaadhar haTaake
ek parbat ke takiye se suraj ne sar jo uTaaya....to dekha..
dil ki vaadi mein chaahat ka mausam hain
aur yaadon ki Daaliyon par
anginat beete lamhon ki kaliyaan...mehekne lagi hain..
ankahe ansuni aarzoo..aadhi soyi huyi aadhi jaagi huyi
aankhen malte huyi dekhti hain
leher dar leher mauj dar mauj behti huyi zindagi
jaise har pal nayi aur phir bhi wahi
haan..wahi zindagi..
jiske daaman mein koyi mohabbat bhi hain koyi hasrat bhi hain
paas aana bhi hain door jaana bhi hain
aur yeh ehsaas hain
waqt jarne sa behta huya..jaa raha hain..yeh kehta huya..
Dil ki vaadi mein chaahat ka mausam hain
aur yaadon ki Daaliyon par
anginat beete lamhon ki kaliyaan mehekne lagi hain..
Do you have any such favorites?

Of Bricks and Stones
The resort (Club cabana) had an open air theatre. Loved the architecture of it. It was pretty peaceful there, with a nice wind, lots of trees and birds chirping. Sandhya and I had a nice time chatting. :-)
Pics follow.
The water rides and attractions there were pretty good too. There was a jacuzzi, few rides and a wave pool. The best of the lot were the small huts in front of the pool. Ideal place to take a nap on a hot afternoon!
A few abstractions follow!

Yeh kaun chitrakaar hai
Our team from office went to Club Cabana yesterday to celebrate a successful release! As most of the badminton, TT etc. courts were occupied, Sandhya and I went around the gardens experimenting with the camera. Ended up discovering many options in the camera I never knew existed! :-)
As usual a lot of macros and flower/nature pictures followed. The best part - my first snap of a drongo! :-) Had seen loads of them on the electric wires by the road, during the drive to bagalkot/hampi, but could not photograph them. The resort had a lot of birds, but could capture only this.
Pics follow.
The drongo (not sure what the exact name is though)
Splash of colors follow
now for a white (read serene) break
Followed by shocking pink! The unmatched bougainvillea, of course!
More colors
dishaye dekho rang bhari
chamak rahi umang bhari
ye kisne phhol phool pe
ye kisne phhol phool pe
kiya singaar hai
ye kaun chitrakaar hai
ye kaun chitrakaar
ye kaun chitrakaar hai
Thus sang Mukesh. True isn't it?

hari hari vasundhara pe
neela neela ye gagan
ki jiske baadlon ki paalki
uda raha pawan
dishaye dekho rang bhari

kiya singaar hai
