Shalin Jain's Little Red Couch

Intazaar

shalinjain — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 06:14:21 +0000

tere intazaar mein hum so na sake
raat gahri the phir bhi so na sake

kitne vaadoun tale hum dafn ho chuke the
khwaboun ke sahaare hum uth na sake

phkirr rahti thi raat bhar tere bare mein
teri mehfuz zindagi mein izhaar kar na sake

aaj phir tanha raat guzar rahi hai
bechen taare phir so na sake

A Kiss

shalinjain — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 19:40:33 +0000

Been a
long while
even the night
is tired
waiting

your
wet lips
and miraculous
touch

I have
waited
for too long

come by
soon
I miss
your kiss

Shab Hone Par

shalinjain — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 22:00:43 +0000

Ab rote hai shab hone par
Dard mein chur tumhe khone par

Kamzor nahi be-bas hai hum
Tere pyaar se zinda rehne par

Kyon naraaz se khoye rehte ho
Hum naadan se hai tere hone par

Aaj na jaao shab hone par
Mar jayenge tumhe khone par

Being poet

shalinjain — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 18:43:37 +0000

I am no poet.

I sit
across my desk
wondering
what I could
recite to you

I wish
I were a poet
and could write
my own
beautiful verses

I wish
I could write
at least a couplet
that would tell you
how i feel;

You sometimes
make me feel
like a poet
and I really wish
I were one.

HTC Touch, my next phone?

shalinjain — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 13:49:18 +0000

Update: I bought this phone and returned it back to the store after using it for 2 days. Poor Battery Life!

Been following up iPhone since quite sometime now and it already sounds ridiculous to wait for at least 1 year to get a phone like that. Something that comes close to it today is HTC’s new HTC Touch, maybe I’ll grab this Gadget sometime soon. Not wanting to use the phone primarily for Media like Music, Videos and Photos and more for business, HTC is probably worth the ride. It runs Windows, too much to handle for mac fanboy like me

And here it is how it compares to Moto Razr V3.

For some interesting videos comparing HTC Touch with iPhone, here is one very very extensive comparison/review.

And here is a neat ad of HTC

Young and Talented

Sandeep Narayan and Swarna Rethas are probably the most well know young and upcoming carnatic musicians learning under Sanjay Subrahmanyan. I had an opportunity to capture a few moments.

Reading: All Marketers are Liars by Seth Godin

shalinjain — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 18:20:29 +0000

This book so far has been great read. In a nutshell:

“Successful marketers don’t talk about features or even benefits. Instead, they tell a story. A story we want to believe.”
