About Me
Hi,
This is Jaya Jha – an IITK (Computer Science and Engineering) and IIML (Marketing & Strategy) Graduate currently trying to run a start-up of my own. Before this I have worked as Product Manager in a start-up and then at Google India.
There won’t be much point in repeating the stuff. So, here are all the relevant links
- Another Blog on Lyrics of Ghazals
- Yet Another Blog on Hindi Poetry
- Ryze Page
- Orkut Page
(Note for the last two: I do not like adding friends at random. Please, do not embarrass me by sending requests. I, mostly, limit myself to adding people whom I know in real life or else only if I have gotten to know them well through other channels. The latter situation is very rare.)
Isn’t that enough?

Jaya said
It’s been quite sometime even for me
I did my +2 in 1998-2000. Then they were all there. However, when I visited the place in 2004, Kakkar Ma’m as well as Chatti Ma’m had left.

So, your hindi blogs features in the top ten.. not bad, but I wonder, why would you be creating an archive and spending so much time on it?
Also, your web page on atgig is not complete.
Finally, you appear really keen to add friends.

Hi Jaya,

Jaya,
I have skimmed through your collection of ghazals/ lyrics and your own poetry.
Aisi pasand to sirf diljalon kee hi ho sakti hai. Meraa apnaa ek sher arz hai:
dhoond lete hain har khushi ke lamhe mein,
jinko aadat ho gham talaash karne kee.

It’s nice to see a Maithil Brahmin girl with such an intellect. If you allow, I’ll be happy to provide a link of ur blog with my website in coming days.
Thanks&Regards

Thanks for the appreciation Santosh. Given the nature of Internet, anyone is free to link to my blog. But that does not have to do anything with my being Maithil Brahmin or whatever – really!

Hi Jaya,
I hit your blog by googling “kaka”. I’m an Italian literary translator, currently working on a book by Anosh Irani that is full of hindi words. Since finding correct, updated meanings is not at all easy, may I keep you as an occasional *language consultant*? It shouldn’t be much work, really, the book is short and the characters (two Mumbai boys) only intermittently resort to local expressions…
TIA
Anna

I dont know how I came to this page. Just browsing to find a good site to take an idea. Liked it. Will just say that you know so much then why are you so disturbed. Writing so much and thinking so much about all the sensible things and nonsense too. Till now you must have known what it exactly is. I believe you are on your way.
The tendency to explain yourself to another people makes you unsure about yourself. Skip that. Keep writing your poems and articles. I dont think that I will ever come back on this page but for one reason. If you decide to change your job for any reasons, I will request you to inform on your blog.
All the best.
Take care.

I didn’t read much about you before my last comment. IITK and IIML, lucrative but they are just stamps. The people who have stamp collection as their hobby value them and thats what is most popular in the world this time.( I too have some and I believe I wasted myself in college). One thing they shows for sure is hard work and I respect that from my top to bottom. No doubt you are a genius. I couldn’t prevent myself to go into more and more details. Will surely go through the poems next time.
Right now there are miles to go before I sleep and will take your leave.
Finally.. a very rare thing occured to me. Impressed. Not from the stamps and popularity and comments. But the zeal. It is amazing.
Carry on. This attitude will take you to heights. Mine is a different one but let us meet there.
Best regards,
Vishi

Hasib said
Hi:
I am a Bangladeshi who can read English and enjoys Ghazals because of the sense it evokes. I have a very limited vocabulary of Urdu so I depend on make beliefe meaning of certain words to construct the essence of the Ghazals. Which is fine but, it is not right to continue this fallacy.
I wanted to share the pain that us worker bees go through about things that comes naturally to you all. The way, I have used this site, since I have found it yesterday, to find the meaning of a Ghazal by Mehdi Hasana (Jo Thake Thake Se ), is noted below:
1. Write down the Ghazal in English while listening to it, with my wife on my back wanting to use the net..
2. Place the text next to the Hindi Script of this site
3. Take the word list at the bottom of the script that has meaning written next to it.
4. Observe the pattern of each word and search the text for the pattern.
5. Once found, get the meaning and put it next to the English transliteration…
Thanks to you, now I have a less confused understanding of the Ghazal.. But with all humbleness can I request an English Transliteration accompanying the text… Would do us a world of good…
In any case thanks a heap for your effort…

So finally I came back on this page to go through your poems too. The first one I read was good. I left a comment there too.
As a critic, I will suggest you to keep your titles more closer to your theme. Give it time as you give time to write the full poem.
I too would like to share some if I come to have some leisure time. Will be going back to India in Jan. Perhaps that time.
Anyways, it was nice to see your work. And again, can’t help getting impressed. What is missing? Dont know .. will give you my thoughts some other day. But you yourself are the one to find out. You will, I believe.
Samir said
Jaya,
Just one strange combo I found which is CSE @ IITK and Marketing and Strategy from IIML. Well I don’t know much about later but would love to see if you post any blog on CS&E, I mean core comp science topics.
I am not sure whether you’ve heard of it or not but recently I came across this online translation tool http://www.indianchoice.com/hindi/hindi.html. Personally I found it quite useful. Considering the fact that my experience with this tool is limited to little under 15 minutes I am unable to provide any detailed review here.
While I was reading your blog, I just had this feeling that something is missing. At this moment I am not having the exact word / phrase / sentence of what is missing but somehow the post seems to be close to being complete (but not complete).
How I came across this, Well I had a look at your profile on orkut and as it happens “A Journey of Thousand Site starts with a Single Click”. In the process I lost the way, but I reached here.
Have a good New Year Eve Celebration and a Fantastic and Successful New Year 2007.
Cheers

“The bullshit self o’ mine…”
Bliss I hunt for; contentment I question a lot,
Answers to them, I crave to find,
My mind calls a halt, when, locates no wisdom to retort,
The whole just in vain; amid, no answer, of even the inexact kind
Running aimlessly, got me tired,
I’m conqueror of the entire nothing,
Life, it seems, shall soon have me fired…
I yearn for, I crave not to moan yet sing…
Please! Exhilaration and glee I could carry, if someone can wring.
My past shall my future find in it,
The present invites no question though;
Life crawls by pieces and bit,
It creeps, struggles, moves at a snail’s pace, gathers humiliation, too fast but too slow.
I ask to you, yes YOU, the all-powerful,
What did you give for, if it was to take away??
Left with so many, but not her, not the she, for whom do I drool??
Whom do I talk nonsense and bullshit to, there isn’t she to say.
Even after you, I’ve spent moments with you,
Have had felt you, touched you, kept my promise, took you on a date;
Can’t stand, so I abhor, being disgusted for this to do,
Negotiating & finding the middle ground; in me, compromising is what I hate.
Besides me, whom do I escalate my inside to??
Being misunderstood, a gift from you time after time I’ve received,
Is not like it gives the impression of, mirror must have grown hair grey in sun,
The unforgiving all, it’s a pale world, memories else are going pallid,
Shattered are my days and damaged nights; unlike the necklace I wish, still if you’ve kept o’’ mine.
Faded rises the sun, still turning dim when goes down,
Screams my soulful eyes, me is the evidence, shines bright the moon beam,
Some trust I had asked for, had you have it shown,
Insomniac nights I now spend, wakeful darkness, yet so full of dreams
Isolation and no company surround me,
I the visitor, I my guest,
Many o’ my virtual pals, but there is no she,
I find out to find, I is the host.
Tight I try, hold the time,
You’ll linger in me, with me; forever and a day, you, I’ll adore,
The times of joy and ecstasy go lost; it’s no fiction, time has ever been sublime.
Empty handed, I’m hit upon and yet again, bliss I hunt for… her kiss I hunt for…

Hi Jaya,
I’m from IIML. I keep coming back to your blog but for some reason I’m unable to add your blog feed to Liferea RSS client. The feed opens fine in browser.

dear jaya
landed on ur page while searching for a poem; was amazed to find the full text of kanupriya….my favourite. I am looking for a hindi poem about krishna and sudama, i only remember the first line (sees paga na jhaga tan pe aur pao upanah ki nahi sama) . Would be grateful for ur help. I also happen to be an IITK (1980) and IIMA(1982)graduate. Currently working for the GOI in kolkata. Ur blogs on IITK’s walls made interesting reading!In our times there were no walls!! God bless you.

Since you are looking for the poem about Krishna and Sudama…..Here you are:
Sees paga na jhaga tan me, prabhu jane ko ahi base kehi grama.
Shoti fati se lati dupati, aru payn upanah ki nahi sama.
Dwar khade dwij durbal ekk, rahyo chaki so vasudha abhirama.
Puchhat deen dayal ko dhaam, batawat apano naam Sudama.

Hi J,
Why couldn’t I find my valuable comments at places where I left them? Deleted so that new one can replace them?? I hope so..:(
Anyways, it has been a time since I have come on this page. Little update means more work.
What else? Many new things on this side but they are not here to discuss.
I enjoyed reading Madhushala excerpts today. Taking off today as I don’t have any mood to work just few replies to be sent.
Life’s going on. Hope you are alive too…
