Promise

I have promises to keep.
The promise to reach you again,
The promise to hold your hands,
The promise to shake off the fear deep down your heart,
And the promise to love you again in a moonlit night before the sun takes you away.

And the star twinkles in the midst of darkness.
The sweet memory of you keeps me cheerful even in sadness.
The horse keeps moving with dust flowing around.

Perhaps the star showing me the way to the West has died many a springs back.
Only twinkling to remind me of my promises.
Maybe someday it will stop twinkling.
The light that’s keeping the bond with me may stop reaching me some night.
And some hollow darkness may keep staring at me and my helplessness.

The horse not knowing to fatigue is moving on.
It has no promise to keep except to move on.
Many a people rode it and perhaps many will.

Will I ever be able to reach you?
Will you be still there with two hands stretched to give me a tight hug?
Or like the star will you stop waiting?

I can feel the pain you are feeling in hesitation thinking whether you would be able to ever keep your promise. But as i had mentioned in my b'day post, if you have promises to keep, better do it today and not wait for tomorrow, no one knows except Him what is in store tomorrow.

Keep writing..:-)

Perhaps some promise have inherent unreachablity problem(just like some unreachable code :) )
Some dreams are always better be dreamed of rather than realized.
anyway thanks for the encouragement.
i enjoy your posing .

Changing the system from within the system.

Do we need an emergency situation to awake? Yes we do need one most of the time. We only get awake when a Parliament attack, Mumbai attack, Samjhouta express attack, Mumbai local Train attack etc do occur. The problem is not that we get awake when the crisis occurs. But the problem is we fall back to sleep when the crisis is over . Let’s stop doing falling back to sleep. Whenever a crisis occurs the first thing we think is that we need change the system. We essentially first point our finger to the corrupt politics system, intelligence system, police system etc. The more we can name the more points we score as if we are in a mission only to find who the culprits are. I have a problem with this notion of only fault finding and essentially taking no action based on the finding. Who comprises the system? None but us. The collective individuals comprise the system. It’s we who give birth to a corrupted system and continue to feed the system with corruption in everyday. How? Let m

CPU throttling

Sometime we come across situation where we need to throttle or degrade CPU performance . Suppose there is a situation you deploy your application in low performance system but development is done on high performance system .  To simulate lower performance system you need to do CPU throttling.  Here I am discussing how we can do this using Windows 11 OS. Similar feature should be available in Linux or other operating systems as well.  Assuming we are using Windows 11 OS as super user , open Performance Monitor application tool. In Windows you can open this by invoking perfmon.exe /res from search or run option. Using this tool open CPU performance monitor to monitor current CPU(s). In the GUI there are two panes. From left pane, tree view choose Performance -> Monitoring Tools -> Performance Monitor view.  In the right pane, you should see two sub-view one graph view on the top and one selected counters view on the bottom. Right click on the the bottom view and choose Add Coun

An encounter with destiny - beyond patterned life

An encounter with destiny It was Friday evening 27th Nov 2009. Next day is Eid. People were in mood for returning home for weekend as well as for Eid festival. I was one of the people intending to rejoin my family on Eid occasion. I reached Sealdah around 5.45 pm.Sealdah rail station complex was not as crowded as I expected. I was walking lazily along with my friend Bashir to catch Bhagirathi Express scheduled for 6.25 pm departure. We still had more than half an hour in our hand. Suddenly few people rushed from behind and from right side and somehow I get pushed down to ground. Usually I can take reflex action whenever I fall or about to fall. But this time it was so sharp that I could not take any action. I even fall unconscious for few moment. Bashir and People around helped me to recover from ground. When I again got my crutches in place and ready to move forward I felt acute pain in my right leg. I thought of waiting few moments before proceeding again. But the pain was showing
