Minia's Mundane Musings

Protests! Candle-light vigils! Banners! Placards! Demonstrations! Human Chains! We can do it all .... but the question is how often can we do it,and why should we have to do it at all? And why do we do it at all when our memories are so short! Here today ....And gone tomorrow seems to be the order of the day.But if this has genuinely sparked something inside us then we should keep that spark alive. We need to become a people that we can be proud of... Let us indeed protest....... but protest the indifference that has crept into our lives. Light a candle..... but do it to dispel the darkness that has engulfed our hearts. Wave a banner....... but let it carry a message of love for your close ones. Hold a placard....... but write appreciation on it for all that is good and pure. Demonstrate...... show that you care. Make human chains.... but a hold a hand to help someone,to console, to offer solace. Love and Peace

Is baar nahin Is baar jab woh choti si bachchi mere paas apni kharonch le kar aayegi Main usey phoo phoo kar nahin behlaoonga Panapney doonga uski tees koIs baar nahin Is baar jab main chehron par dard likha dekhoonga Nahin gaoonga geet peeda bhula dene wale Dard ko risney doonga,utarney doonga andar gehreyIs baar nahin Is baar main na marham lagaoonga Na hi uthaoonga rui ke phahey Aur na hi kahoonga ki tum aankein band karlo,gardan udhar kar lo main dawa lagata hoon Dekhney doonga sabko hum sabko khuley nangey ghaav Is baar nahin Is baar jab uljhaney dekhoonga,chatpatahat dekhoonga Nahin daudoonga uljhee door lapetneyUljhaney doonga jab tak ulajh sakeIs baar nahin Is baar karm ka hawala de kar nahin uthaoonga auzaar Nahin karoonga phir se ek nayee shuruaat Nahin banoonga ...
