The Universal Truth

Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure.

"WO DEKHO SOFTWARE ENGINEER JAA RAHA HAI"

(A tribute to all Software Engineers !!! )



Apne Project ke bojh tale daba jaa raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



zindagi se hara hua hai, par "Bugs" se haar nahi manata,

Apne application ki ek ek line ise rati hui hai,

par aaj kaun se rang ke moje pehne hain , ye nahi janata,

din par din ek excel file banata ja raha hai, 

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



das hazaar line ke code main error dhoond lete hain lekin, majboor dost
ki ankhon ki nami dikhayi nahi deti,

pc pe hazaar windows khuli hain, par dil ki khidki pe koi dastak sunayi
nahi deti,

satuday-sunday nahata nahi, week days ko naha raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



Coding karte karte pata hi nahi chala, bugs ki priority kab maa-baap se
high ho gayi,

kitabon main gulab rakhne wala , cigerette ke dhuyen main kho gaya,

dil ki zameen se armaanon ki vidayi ho gayi,



weekends pe daroo peke jo jashna mana raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



maze lena ho iske to pooch lo,

"Salary Increment" ki party kab dila rahe ho,

hansi udana ho to pooch lo,

"Onsite" kab ja rahe ho?

wo dekho onsite se laute team-mate ki chocolates kha raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



kharche badh rahe hain, baal kam ho rahe hain,

KRA ki date ati nahi, Income Tax ke sitam ho rahe hain,

lo phir se bus choot gayi, Auto se aa raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



Pizza gale se nahi utarta, to "Coke" ke sahare nigal liya jata hai,

office ki "Thali" dekh munh hai bigadta,

maa ke hath ka wo khana baar roz yaad ata hai,

"Sprout bhel" bani hai phir bhi, free "Evening Snacks" kha raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



aapne ab tak li hongi bahut si chutikiya,

Software engg. ke jivan ka sach batati ye akhri kuch panktiyan,



hazaron ki tankhwah wala, company ki karodon ki jeb bharta hai,

software engg. wahi ban sakta hai, jo lohe ka jigar rakhta hai,



hum log jee jee ke marte hain , zindagi hai kuch aisi,

ek fauj ki naukri, doosri software engg. ki , dono ek jaisi,



is kavita ka har shabd dil ki gehrayi se aa raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,

A Box Full of Kisses

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.
