dj's rantings in IT field

I got this as an email and found it to be really very funny and yet truthful. It's like rantings of an IT professional but the presentation is from DJ's point of view; it has reference to character DJ of Rang De Basanti movie. In the movie, DJ explains to Sue about life's trials and tribulations and how hopes of millions are crushed everyday in this ever competitive world. He talks about the insecurities and his own limitations. He is a master of the world that he has created around himself, but he is scared to face the real world once he steps out of his comfort zone.

Read and enjoy the material below; and I am sure you will identify with a few of the things because it's a hard fact that, in IT industry and during this recession, quite a lot of people are on bench and some of them have been on bench for quite sometime, including myself.

Here goes the conversation:-

DJ : wohi duniya de jhamele ..... seat aur PC dhoondo.....project paao..... te PM ki ishaaron pe nachte jaao....
tim lak lak te tim lak lak
u know gulabbo...... mennu iss company mei join huye 2 saal ho gaye..... fir bhi i am here only.
Offshore Develpment Centre ke darwajje ke is taraf... hum PM ko nachaate hai.....
to darwajje ki dooji taraf.....PM hum ko nachataa hai...
tim lak lak te tim lak lak

Sue : mai kuchh samjhi nahi

DJ : mennu bas itthe.....bench pe hi rehna hai.....
idhar......bench vaale log mennu jante hain .......bench pe DJ di koi aukaat hai...
baaki developers kehte hain .....DJ mein badi baat hai....project karega DJ
par andar....project mei achhe achhe DJ pis gaye....java code copy-paste karte karte...........

what is this life, if full of care

I have not found time to write anything 'coz I have been really busy for the past month or so. I have got embroiled in a project that's not going anywhere. Its become like a noose around my neck which is neither letting me sleep, nor rest; nor work in peace.

I have not had anytime for myself, not seen a movie for six months now etc. There's lot to crib about, but that's not what this blog is supposed to carry. Anyways, I started writing quite a few posts but was unable to complete them on time; and soon those posts lost the relevance. Anyways, the only thing on my mind right now is this poem by W.H.Davies. This aptly reflects my situation. Its a beautiful poem which was a part of our syllabus during school days and the entire poem has stayed on, in my mind. Whenever I feel suffocated and feel at loss of time, not able to spend time on myself, meet friends etc; I think of this poem. Here it is, for you:

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?

No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
