wo fasl-e-gul jisay andesha-e-zawaal na ho

khuda karay k meri arz-e-pak per utray
wo fasl-e-gul jisay andesha-e-zawaal na ho

yahaaN jo phool khilay wo khila rahay bersoN
yahaaN khizaaN ko guzernay ki bhi majaal na ho

yahaaN jo sabza ugay wo hamesha sabz rahay
aur aisa sabz k jis ki koi misaal na ho

ghani ghaTaaein yahaaN aisee baarishein bersaaein
k pattharoN se bhi royedgi muhaal na ho

khuda karay k waqaar is ka ghair-faani ho
aur is k husn ko tashweesh-e-maah-o-saal na ho

her aik ferd ho tehzeeb-o-fun ka oaj-e-kamaal
koi malool na ho, koi khasta-haal na ho

just few hours after Pakistan handed-over a war-prisoner 'Kashmir Singh' to India as a goodwill gesture, the Indian authorities informed Pakistan to receive the dead body of a Pakistani prisoner Khalid Mehmood.

Khalid Mehmood was a Pakistani cricket-fan who visited India in 2005 during a Pak-India cricket series. The Indian security agencies arrested him and accused him of spying for Pakistan. As a result of extreme torture in the Indian Jail he died on 12th February 2008. But intelligently, the Indian authorities didn't disclose his death on Pakistani officials until 4th March 2008 when Pakistan released and handed-over Kashmir Singh to Indian authorities. Indian authorities informed Pakistan about the death of Khalid Mehmood after one hour of the departure of Kashmir Singh from Pakistani soil.

What a great response it is from India after the goodwill gesture of Pakistan. It is the same 'Incredible India', and it is the same 'Shining India', to which the western media and governments are projecting now-a-days. God knows who is making fool to the other ? Either it is the 'west' who is trying to use India as a profitable consumer market, and finally as an instrument to defeat China ? Or it is the India who is trying its best to cash the current global scenario against Pakistan ?

Whoever will be the winner of the global game in the end, but this incident of exchange of war prisoners has clearly shown the real face of shining India.

                        ham jo taareek raahoN mein maaray gaye

tayray hoNToN k phooloN ki chaahat mein ham
daar ki khushk Tehni pe waaray gaye
tayray haathoN ki shammoN ki hasrat mein ham
neem-taareek raahoN mein maaray gaye

sooliyoN per hamaray laboN se paray
tayray hoNToN ki laali lapakti rahi
tayri zulfoN ki masti barasti rahi
tayray haathoN ki chaaNdi damakti rahi

jab ghuli tayri raahoN mein shaam-e-sitam
ham chalay aaye, laaye jahaaN tak qadam
lab pe herf-e-ghazal, dil mein qindeel-e-gham
apna gham tha gawaahi teray husn ki
dekh qaayem rahay us gawaahi pe ham
ham jo taareek raahoN pe maaray gaye

na-rasaayee ager apni taqdeer thi
tayri ulfat to apni hi tadbeer thi
kis ko shikwa hai ger shoq k silsilay
hijr ki qatl-gaahoN se sab ja milay

qatl-gaahoN se chun ker hamaray alam
aur niklein gay ush-shaaq k qaafelay
jin ki raah-e-talab se hamaray qadam
mukhtaser ker chalay derd k faaslay
ker chalay jin ki khaatir jahaaN-geer ham
jaaN gaNwa ker teri dil-bari ka bharam
ham jo taareek raahoN mein maaray gaye

started working on 'Ruby on Rails' two weeks ago. Its a framework for web application development.

Though i am still in learning phase and I think its a good framework. But those who want to start working on it and think that to start working on Ruby on Rails is a game of kidz, and they will have a smooth ride while working on it, are very wrong.

In-fact, in the beginning when i was reading articles about Ruby on Rails, it was written in every article that learning Ruby on Rials will be a fun. The writers of all articles tried to convey to their readers that RoR is game. But i think the new comers should be aware of the fact that all those writers are liars, and simply misleading the beginners. I haven't found a single tutorial on net for RoR that is complete and easy to understand. After two weeks, now i can say with surety that 100% tutorials on net are in-complete. The authors of tutorials think that the developer already knows 50% of the things, and hence they skip very crucial steps of development.

Ruby on Rails is good, but it requires deep googling for the beginners.
