Google Recipe View!!

What an interesting thing I found!! I logged into my twitter account by accident today :) and found this latest tweet from official Google twitter account.

Recipe View lets you narrow your search results to show only recipes, and helps you choose the right recipe amongst the search results by showing clearly marked ratings, ingredients and pictures...Read the full entry here.

Looks like an amazing idea to me :) Lets see how much easier it makes my life to google recipes now :) Currently, this feature is only rolling out in U.S and Japan, can't wait to have this feature available to the world at large!
Keep up Google!

Mujhay Insaan Mat Kehna!

Sharing a piece today from a very old diary of mine that I remembered a few days back:). I am getting very much forgetful day by day, so have a very strong urge each day to write down if anything of substance comes back to mind suddenly:) I used this diary to maintain any good Urdu poems that I come across and among Urdu poetry , I am particularly fond of Azad Urdu Nazams. Just love the sense of freedom it brings to poetry, without the bounds of radeef and qaafia, like in Ghazals. Anyways, here it goes :)

Mujhay Insaan mat kehna!
Agar kuch naam dena ho..
Mujhay Insaan mat kehna..
Juda chehray, juda beshak sabhi k naam hotay hain..
Magar insaniat k ab yahan per daam hotay hain..
Meray tum daam mat dena..
Mujhay yeh naam mat dena..
Agar kuch naam dena ho..
Mujhay Ehsaas keh dena..
Magar thehro!
Mujhay Ehsaas mat kehna..
Mera bus naam reh jaye..
Mujhay Ehsaas mat kehna..
Agar kuch naam dena ho..
Mujhay Sawan hi keh dena..
Magar thehro!
Mujhay Sawan nahi kehna..
Barasta hai..
Magar, rut k badaltay, beet jata hai..
Mujhay Sawan nahi kehna..
Agar kuch naam dena ho..
Mujhay Aansoo hi keh dena..
Janam lena kisi ki aankh mei..
Rukhsaar per merna.. 
Yeh jis ki haqeeqat hai.. 
Chalo Aansoo hi keh dena..
Magar dekho!
Kisi ki ankh me mujh ko kabhi anay nahi dena..
K qeemat aansoon ki ab ada tum se nahi hogi..
Nahi tum yun nahi kehna.. 
Mujhay Aansoo nahi kehna.. 
Mujhay aankhon me basta ek haseen Sapna hi keh dena..
K sapnay aankh me taron ki tarah jhilmilatay hain.. 
Magar thehro!
Mujhay Sapna nahi kehna.. 
K sapnay toot jatay hain!
Mujhay Apna nahi kehna 
K apnay rooth jatay hain!
