Aman ki Asha....

For a split second it was a moment of shocker which created chaos of questions, and hope, same was the state of mind of every Indian(to be more precise) when saw the first page of Times of India on 2010 New year day. The words written in Bold: "LOVE PAKISTAN" was indeed the words wouldn’t have expected no matter what the issue is. After reading the whole matter (which is displayed in below pic) made me realize that forgiveness is the most courageous thing to do.

AMAN ki ASHA is an initiative by Times of INDIA and PAKISTAN's Jang group ( not sure why this group was named as Jung when they want to spread peace). But the best part of this movement was the Music concerts which are still considered as a strong media besides trade for conveying the peace and brotherhood.

Lines from the times article:

The lines above make sense only when it makes sense to the neighbours too; else it would be more like clapping with one hand and pretending that we are hearing the clap louder than ever. however more touching was amitabh bachchan's video on aman ki asha. where he says:

Dikhai dete hain dur tak ab bhi saye koi, 
Magar bulane se waqt laute na aye koi.
Chalo na phir se bichaye dariya, bajaaye dholak, 
Lagaa ke mehndi surile tappe sunaye koi.

Patang Udhaye,  Chaton Pe Chadh Kar Mohalle Wale, 
Falak Toh Sanjha Hai Us Main Peche Ladaye Koi.
Utho, kabaddi kabaddi khelenge sarhado par ,
Jo aye ab ke to laut kar phir na jaye koi.

Nazar main rehte ho jab tum nazar nahi aate,
Ye sur milate hain jab tum idhar nahi aate....

In lakeeron ko zameen par hi rehene do, dilo pe mat utaarna
