Village called "Chauke"

My village is named Chauke situated some 15 kilometres from Maur Mandi and same distance from Rampura Phul. It falls in district Bhatinda of state Punjab (India). It has population of around 13000 with voting population of 7000. Making it one of "Big Four" villages of the constituency "JOGA". It has got Government Higher Secondary School as well as Primary School along with many private schools which are coming up. Alongwith Dispensary and Anaaj Mandi (Grain Market) village has a Big Stadium. It has 3 bustops to cover each corner of the village and a Petrol Pump has also come up in the village. A newly 66 KV Power station has also started working from the January 2007 which has given this a village an additional advantage. Village boasts of 2 Gurudwara Sahibs, A Masjid and Temple along with revered Shiv-dwala. Then there are two deras namely Dera Baba Dunna G and Dera Baba Bulla G. There is a Youth club in the village along with Patwar-Khana(Place for Patwari).
Alongwith this the village panchayat consists of 11 Panches under the Sarpanch. Some of the Big names of the village Include:
1. Jathedar Hardial Singh (Chairman Sugar Mill Bhatinda)
2. Late Jathedar Harnek Singh
3. Sardar Mithoo Singh (Ex- Sarpanch)
4. Er. Baldev Singh Sran (XEN PSEB)
5. Rustam-E-Hind Pehlwan Jagdish Singh Bhola

This village has long history of infighting. There are two groups one is Akali and another is rebel Akalis, every election is accompanied by some brutal clashes. This village has another jewel in it's crown that off being a village known for illegal production of desi wine and AFEEM.

Another Secret: Your's truly is the first IT Enggineering graduate of the The village!!

Kindly give your thought's about what can I add into this post to make it more comprehensive!! Thanks.

I am "really" happy after a long time so lets start with this sheyar

"Sohne sohne nain naksh usde,
vekhan vaale bada hee pasand karde,
saade naal kare oh pyar hass ke,
eho jeha koi rabba parband kar de,
saanu vi sohna bana de Rabba,
nahi taan sohne banaune band kar de"

So Why I am happy? What happened? Answer is nothing happened!!
I was sitting with Abhishek vimal yesterday in the park and I counted my real friends and the list made me really happy. I have loadz of them. YOU ARE ONE OF THEM & A GEM !! Thanks for bringing a smile on my face when I just think of you in your absence. Actually Dost, I got the reason why I was not happy? Instead of thinking of you I was wasting my time on some other Non-Premium guy's. So Now happiness is all mine's let me enjoy it before something bad dawns.

Still no update on H1B but is expected any moment. Will keep you updated.

Congrats too Australia for the smashing victory. McGrath you are true Champion. M.Muralidaran got what he deserved throughout his career. Srilanka was never in the race for the Cup, but for some of my roommates hoped so!! Best of Luck to the rest of World for 2011 WC.

PS: I am "The Jatt".

Preet Zinda

I think time has come for me come forward and have my say in what I will do in my life and to know what I want to acheive. So just like for having my own space other than Harpreet Singh Sran I am from now onwards will take this name "Preet Zinda". Preet is taken from Harpreet and Zinda is the name I am taking up as my tribute to the great servants of Punjabi Motherland "Zinda & Sukha" who shot down Cancer of indian politics Late Smt. Indira Gandhi. I think my area of writing will be around Punjab and Punjabi. I will keep posting whatever I write here on this blog in Gurmukhi. Hope o acheive what I am dreaming now. This is the Beginning path is long with lot of blocks and revolt laden.

Here Goes Preet Zinda ...

Layman's Angle: SL Vs NZ - A No Show

This world cup from the day 1 has turned out to be anti cimax whether as a Indian supporter or as a neutral one like we do in FIFA world cup. Semifinal 1 : Never has ever been a world cup or for that matter semifinal of any tournament has been a one-sided affair even the Champions League semifinal between Ac Milan & Manchester United was a better place too kill time at. Looking forward to what the second leg holds for Manchester United. Now What NewZealand did wrong according to me that they looked at the past record of M. Muralidaran other than just treating him as a just another spinner. It was sheer bad luck that bad days of Stephen Fleming, "Bond is Shane" and Scott Styris all came on same day. Rest everything that NewZealand did was fine in the context of game. 81 runs were required of 8.2 overs, game was always on but for gifting wickets too M. Muralidaran.
Sequence for commiting highest number of mistakes:
1. Umpires were wrong on the most of occasions.
2. NZ -- They allowed a person Mahela J. who cann't even speak like men to perform against men.
3. SL -- Actually they were Flawless with there limited resources, there bubble is swelling to burst badly. May they donot win the world cup God.

I think the 2nd semifinal is going to be a cracker on the spinner friendly track.

Now the big one: I didn't watch even one ball off the match.

Forget Those Moment's?

No not at all I cann't forgot those good old times although now I am equally happy ( I am lying). My cousin sister (buaji's daughter) used to stay with us at my village Chauke. At around 7 in the night light used to go, as soon as the light went all the children off the family used to sit on the Manja(Charpai), she used to start counting the time in which the light will come like he will say now light has gone to this village now to this... now to that and now it has reached the Maur Mandi Substation (Maur Mandi has Grid from which electricity used to come to our village). Then she started in the reverse order like light has left the Maur Mandi for our village now it has reached here now here... then it reaches our neighbours and now it is in our home. We used to start jumping childishly. Cann't forget it.
Then in the night after dinner chacha ji used to make us jump around Manja and gave the prizes away. prizes were 2 rupee coin or may be 1 rupee coin also and next day we people were not able to spend whole of our khajana of 5 rupees. Then we used to have Dand-Baithak game and all that kind off stuff. I used to loose to my brother and then I wept a lot. Then chacha ji would say yeh cheenti (keedi) maar dee maine aur main hasney lagta. Then in the nightwe used to make two teams and used too count the moving star's ... I still remember we left the count at 3100 ...
As one day me and my cousin sister were not able to win any rupee the night before next day we stole a bagful of sarson from the small godown we have and sold it the baniya's hatti in the village and the whole of sarson was off 99 rupees. That was to big a amount for us too hold. so bought somwthing for 4 rupees and told the baniya that keep rest of the money with you and we will come daily and buy something. We came home and were happy. Then in the evening Chachaji was passing from the front off that shop then that baniya called chachaji and told him ke your children came and they forgot there 95 rupees. Chachaji came and we got a thrashing off our life. My sister is married now and when we meet nowdays we laugh all the way on that incident.

What a happy day it will be when I will writing this blog from my laptop while sitting on the Manja in my farms tubewell. Aur fir tractor pe ghar jaunga shaam ko ... to have 1 litre glass full off milk.

Cann't feel it guy's if you have never been in my shoe's.

Artist with Bat & My Smile!!

Around 96-97 my father used to sing "Lara Lagey Pyara" in his usual punjabi carefree style. I thought what a waste of voice. Papa told me he would not have been into cricket after the end of Kapil's Devilz but for Brian C. Lara and Shane Warne. I thought maybe. Then in due course of time I also developed interest in the game and for sheer coincidence my favourite star's were also Shane Warne for obvious reasons and Brian Lara because he showed "The Great Chucker" M. Muralidaran(as I hate Muralidaran a lot) his due place. After sometime Glen McGrath completed my happy Trio. Now I am happy that I liked players who are real champions and are retiring at the peak of there career, while the mere mortals are still slugging it out. Mr. Tendulkar take a clue.
From my side "Papa, Lara Mainu V Lagey Pyara"
For the time being Bye Bye Lara You are the Greatest of my times. Best of Luck to you. Thanks for the entertainment.

Still no update on my H1B status is available. Hopefully and according to the current estimates this will be clear by Mid of May. Prayers are still on.

Now Personal one. Main Baar Baar Sharma kyun Jaata Hoon? While I was watching 'Just Married' starring Fardeen Khan & Esha Deol alone in the room, a scene came when Fardeen was trying to be cozy with Esha deol on the first night of there honeymoon but esha was not ready and she was hesitant. I was kind off embarassed due to the above situation and I paused the movie and left the room with a embarassed smile. Why I behaved like this? Mere dost jab bhee mere saath kayee baar aisi waisi baat karte haan toh main sharma jaata hoon. There are moments when this thing happens to me and not everytime this happens. But Why these moments? May be I will never get a answer to it!

Another Secret: Some of my Beard's Hair are turning white.

Bye ... and consider the thing below (Specifically Intended for some people & in general to all)

Often we forgive someone, but do not forget it. We account it and also give ourselves a pat on our back for forgiving "those who wronged us". It's not forgiving alone, but forgetting it as well that makes healing possible. Starting today, cultivate forgiveness in your own life and observe the learning that comes through it.

"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind. Use it carefully my friends."

Swing and Miss!!

Here swing is for Shane Bond and Miss is for ...!!
Update: USCIS has conducted the lottery for H1B's and results will reach us before the month end's. Senator Chuck Hagel from Nebraska has introduced a bill into senate to increase this year's quota temporarily to 195K up from current 65K. I still have prayers onmy hand that the bil should also be passed and above nothing can beat if my applicatiuons gets through the lottery. Only time will tell. Wait and Watch!!
African's have qualified for the semi's in the way only they could, another good thing that has emerged from this world cp is that SA has left the day's behind when there only mistake threw them out off the world cup!! Now after 1 loss and 2 upsets they are still in the semi's. Great work!! Last three matches would be crackers as all four are the top four in ICC ranking and in form teams. As for personal liking I have found out AB De Villiers as the new player who is going to be a player of future. Sachin "The Great" Tendulkar played 20-20 for Mumbai and made mumbai loose after taking them too a winnable position. So definitely there is something wrong with the presence of Tendulkar.

Did not have much of conversation with Jiwa Alok for they were busy with there lives and had some fine conversations with sonu, annie & lovy!! Abhishek Vimal is at home killing time once again for nothing. Great work dude!!

Some good Lines heard in punjabi songs!!
Highway dey ne King Punjabi --
Landeeyan jeepan Shaunk Avaley --
Tohar Punjabeeyan dee dekh aalad mutiyarey --
Jawani waley nashey wich nachdi aa Dekho Mundeyaan de toli --

What was great in the performance of Aamir Khan in the Movie "Andaaz Apna Apna"!! What a bull shit comedy it was!! These movies are not for the top-notch Actor of India. According to me Aamir has done only four Meaningful roles namely in Sarfarosh, Lagaan, Dil Chahta hai and Rang de Basanti. Amitabh Bachchan has overlived his Utility? Why are not people applauding Naseeruddin Shah, Om puri and giving them there due. I think These actors are well above Bachchan's who still keeps working for RGV in the movies like Nishabd, Cheeni Kaam and hopelessly in Boom!!
Anyway Big B Shahrukh is fast catching up with you, you better retire as numbero uno or come up with something concrete!! I think audience has connected more with Shahrukh in KBC than Big B.

Best of luck to Abhi-Ash pairing, Kaash Aishwarya kee Jagah Rani hoti...

juggernaut rolls on....!!

Roo Ba Roo ..!!

We Laughed
We Walked
We Drank
We Slept
We Spoke our Heart out
We Planned
We Vowed
We Helped each other to our capacities
We Danced
We Fought
We Went Places
We Partied
We Played Cricket
We Teased
We Bunked Classes
We Made Projects

But still I don't know why that trust is missing, I still feel alone at some point off time.

H1B quota Filled!!

H1B visa quota was filled on the 1st day itself. Why so fast? That’s the question heard in “Greek chorus” from employers, job seekers*like me), and kibitzers(who want to chat or converse) on learning that the H1B visa quota for fiscal year (FY) 2008 had been reached as of the first day of H1B filing, April 2, 2007.
As you know, H1B is the working visa for professionals of all stripes desirous to […]

Again when I laid my hand onto something some problem arose. Is not it so bad? Don't I deserve a peacful victory?

Will the quota Increase? Will my application get selected? It is all in God's hand. HE is Almighty.
I will not lie! I have not been able to sleep well for the first time in my life. Never had I been under so much pressure! Why I am under pressure I cann't answer exactly! I am left with only two signs '!' & '?' !

For the first time in my life I am fighting for some QUOTA? I can understand why this word is so controversial and important!

I know when my mummy papa chacha bua g everybody my friends are praying for me I will get through this storm to a better move towards a better and certainly adventurous tomorrow!

Shayri by renowed Punjabi Shayar Debi Maksoospuri:

ਅੱਖ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੈ ਜਾਵੇ ਵਾਲ ਤੰਗ ਕਰਦੈ,ਜ਼ਿੰਦਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਲੱਗ ਜੇ ਜੰਗਾਲ ਤੰਗ ਕਰਦੈ
ਮਿਲੇ ਨਾ ਜੇ ਸਵਾਰੀ ਬੜੇ ਚੀਕਦੇ ਨੇ ਬੱਸਾਂ ਵਾਲੇ,ਅਮਲੀ ਦਾ ਜੇ ਮੁੱਕ ਜਾਵੇ ਮਾਲ ਤੰਗ ਕਰਦੈ
ਘੁੱਟੀ ਚਾਰੇ ਪਾਸਿਓਂ ਰਜ਼ਾਈ ਤਾਂ ਵੀ ਠੰਡ ਲੱਗੇ,ਦੇਬੀ ਛੜੇ ਬੰਦੇ ਨੂੰ ਸਿਆਲ ਤੰਗ ਕਰਦੈ

Cricket

I am for last so many day's tired and really frustrated by this news of India exiting from the world cup doing the rounds again and again, mud slinging has begun in full flegded way, News channels are planting news by quoting there SOURCES. Please bring out these sources. Who are these I want to see them. We prepared, We played, Players played what they were capable of, opposition played better than us, We lost. Is not this simple to get into our minds. Actually the problem is that we are a country of One Billion free people who always take out there frustration (of not performing well in exams, not having enough salary, wife's expenses, child's dipping future, failed business, neighbours new car, rising prices list is very long) by abusing these players.
The root problem is We. When BCCI has openly said in court that it is a private limited then why are we hell bent upon making this a national tragedy. Players are contracted one's. They are payed to play for the board. Ask them if they will play if we pay them what is paid to a soldier who is dying in Siachen glacier. The answer will come out to be a plain NO. They are playing only for money not for National Pride. Countrymen the days are gone off Mohinder amarnath when they wore their pride of representing there country and slugged it out on the ground for a mere sum of some hundred rupees. These days player's threaten not to play for INDIA if they are not paid the sum of money they demand. Come on Fellow Indian's let's give cricket a status of sport again.
Fun Corner : Now player's have found a way out of saying that they have played for so many years for India why is this happening to them now. Answer to it: Because you have served the country for so much time that's why are we again and again giving you a chance to bow out peacefully, otherwise "paani agar sir se upar ho jayega" then there is other way out also.

Captain said this after the world cup debacle "our team was thrown out of the tournament, we just didn't deserve to win the World Cup." Why are then we complaining.

The issues that needs to be discussed are Nandigram SEZ case, Elections in UP which effects the life of 18 crore people directly and 1 blue billion indirectly, the social menance of Nithari killings.

I have got a another problem at my hand. The USCIS (Visa Office in America) has declared that they have received enough applications on Day 1 and Day 2 with applications numbering to 150k+. Now the visa cap is 65K. So these people are going to conduct a lottery in which computer will select random applications. Hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that me and Abhishek get through this all and our applications are selected. Are not these tensions enough? Pray for us.
