Prasoon Joshi on Mumbai Terror Attacks : Is Baar Nahin

Ad Guru and famous lyricist Prasoon Joshi has penned his thoughts on the Mumbai terror blasts. It is a heartfelt composition from the thinker who won our hearts with the song ‘Maa’ from Taare Zameen Par. 

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 ko
Is 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 gehrey
Is 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 lapetney
Uljhaney doonga jab tak ulajh sake
Is baar nahin

Is baar karm ka hawala de kar nahin uthaoonga auzaar
Nahin karoonga phir se ek nayee shuruaat
Nahin banoonga misaal ek karmyogi ki
Nahin aaney doonga zindagi ko aasani se patri par
Utarney doonga usey keechad main,tedhey medhey raston pe
Nahin sookhney doonga deewaron par laga khoon
Halka nahin padney doonga uska rang
Is baar nahin banney doonga usey itna laachaar
Ki paan ki peek aur khoon ka fark hi khatm ho jaye
Is baar nahin

Is baar ghawon ko dekhna hai
Gaur se
Thoda  lambe  wakt  tak
Kuch  faisley
Aur uskey baad hausley
Kahin toh shuruat karni hi hogi
Is baar yahi tay kiya hai

… Prasoon Joshi

Live2Give : RangDe.org

 

I was introduced to RangDe‘s Ramakrishna by Pinstorm‘s Mahesh Murthy. And how glad I am to see another great embodiment of sensitive social entrepreneurship! Thanks Mahesh for the introductions!

RangeDe.org aims to  make low cost microcredit a reality. RangDe is a non-profit peer to peer micro-lending portal. 


RangDe.Org Film from rahulchittella on Vimeo.

RangDe is another great opportunity for people to give back to society. The loan seekers are people who can make a difference to their business with the help of this social investment. The investor also earns a nominal interest on the laon disbursed. Thus it is not a charity. It is an assistance. 

RangDe collects the money and gives it to their pre-screened field partners (NGOs).  You have the option to give it to specific borrower or let RangDe disburse the money. You can also have contact with the borrower. 

I am sure Mahesh would have written about this great concept in his hugely hit column on Business word and Business Today. RangDe is indeed a great initiative ! Let us spread the word. Let us use it to transform lives!

Three cheers to Ramakrishna and his team ! You are doing a great service! Keep it up!

Shame On Us!

NSG Commandoes, Snipers and Police gave their lives. With outdated equipment, laughable protection, no social security and loads of courage, they protected us. And what has Government done? Last month, Government was questioning their salary hikes? Bureaucrats got more money…not the people who are fighting for the nation…and losing lives because of the indecisiveness and rotten thinking of country’s political leaders.

Shame on us! Shame on us for choosing them. Shame on us for allowing them to continue in their offices. 

Why does India continue to have attacks?  Where is the professionalism to deal with such attacks? What kind of economic super power is this? We never learn!

If a politician’s son had lost life in the hotel, would things have been different?
