Here we see Steve Jobs delivering his commencement speech to the graduates of Stanford University in 2005. In it he talks about getting fired from Apple in 1985, life & death.

Dilwalon ki Dilli..........
Yeh Dilli Hai Mere Yaar, Bas Ishq Mohabbat Pyaar
1. We drink only on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings. And try not drinking on Tuesday.
2. Treating a friend means - Daaru Shaaru te kabbab shabaab.
3. Even in the most posh colonies, you hear, "Aaloo le lo !!!, Bhindi le lo !!!! Pyaaz le lo !!!!, Tamatar le lo......"
4. We have at least two cars and a motorbike at home
5. A place to meet is Mocha, CCD, Barista, Hookah.
6. We use the word "setting" or "jugaad" at-least once a day.
7. We have not visited either of - Qutub Minar, Red Fort, Lotus Temple. It is only for tourists, so Delhiites say.
8. We glare at people who call Gol Guppas as Pani Puri!
9. Schooling is best in Delhi not because of CBSE but because we had school cancelled thrice due to cold in winters & summer vacations preponed due to sudden increase heat in Summers and atleast two Rainy Day off during Monsoon.
10. We understand all important words in Punjabi & punjabi "helping verbs" like teri maa di, teri bahen di... oye ..... Almost every Delhiite understands Punjabi to an extent.
PUNJABI unites everyone.
11. We call the waiter in the restaurant "boss" or "Pappey" & tack on "yaar" "bhai" to almost every sentence.
12. We know that Bappay Da Dhaba or Kake Da Hotel has better butter chicken than Taj. You've at least tried it once! And you see a BMW, a Porsche OR a Mercedes parked outside it!
13. We describe practically every other person on the planet as "Vella". ('Idle' or Nikamma in Punjabi).
14. We see middle-aged Aunties wearing Gucci shades and holding LV bags having Gol-Gappas in GK or Bhelpuri in South Ex along with Diet Coke !
15. We call every stranger 'Bhaiyya'.
16. We refer to East Delhi as 'Jamuna Paar'.
17. Pretty girls as Totta, Maal or Bamb (Punjabi for Bomb).
18. Aashiq mizaz boys as Majnu di Aulad !
19. We don’t buy tickets for a music concert or cricket match, but try to use political contacts... of the deputy secretary of the chief secretary of the Minister of State for Khadi.
20. We overtake everyone from the wrong side and stare into his/her eyes while doing so.
21. We have fought at least once every month with neighbors over parking...
22. We park our Car and take a Auto-rickshaw to Lajpat Nagar/Rajouri/ Kamla Nagar/ Karol Bagh. But CP, we don't get parking space easily, yet we go always in your own vehicle.
23. We've hit 120 kmph at Nelson Mandela Marg and waited for midnight to do it.
24. We have bribed a traffic cop (THULLA) at least once, every month.
25. We know that a farmhouse has nothing to do with cattle or farming. It is luxurious hangout for whole night.
26. We use "contacts" (jugaad) for everything, from getting movie tickets to restaurant bookings to play-school admissions.
27. We have had Anda parantha outside Vikram hotel and Bun Omlette at Dhaula Kuan, Kulfi at Karol Bagh, Gol Gappe at India Gate, Dosa at Madras Hotel, Chana/Kulcha at Scindia House and Chaat at UPSC.
28. Metro rail is our Pride but we travel in our Car.
29. We call people from north east 'chinkis'.
30. We think EVERY South Indian comes from ' Madras ' and is Madrasi.
31. The only time we went to the Chidiya Ghar (Zoo) was on a school picnic.
32. We expect around 10 FM STATIONS in every city! Woho.!
DESPITE all the good and bad........We still Love Delhi..
We keep singing..... Dilli hai Dil Walon ki..... Oye !!!

Kal Ho Na Ho........Live for today tomorrow can wait
"life is full of beauty.Notice it.Notice the bumble bee,the small child,and the small faces.Smell the rain,and feel the wind.Live your life to the fullest potential,and fight for your dreams"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Sarhad par kal raat.....
Subah subah ik khwab ki dastak par darwaza khola,
dekha Sarhad ke us paar se kuchh mehmaan aaye hain
Aankhon se maanoos the saareyChehre saarey sune sunaaye
Paanv dhoye, Haath dhulayeAangan mein aasan lagwaaye...
Aur tandoor pe makki ke kuchh mote mote rot pakaye
Potli mein mehmaan merePichhale saalon ki faslon ka gud laaye the
Aankh khuli to dekha ghar mein koi nahin tha
Haath lagakar dekha to tandoor abhi tak bujha nahin tha
Aur hothon pe meethe gud ka jaayka ab tak chipak raha tha
Khwab tha shayad!Khwab hi hoga! !
Sarhad par kal raat, suna hai, chali thi goli
Sarhad par kal raat, suna hai Kuchh khwaabon ka khoon hua ha
(~Gulzar~)
Such beautiful words...simple yet touching. Every word leaves a mark. Every word tells a story of life. Every word hits deep down
