What I learned!!

Maine pandit sune, maine padri sune, maine maulvi sune, maine granthi sune,
Din dukhio ke mukh se teri awaaz na suni, mere sunne ka kya fayada

Maine Kashi dekhi, kaaba dekhi, Maine Jersusalem dekhi, Maine Harminder Sahib dekhi
Har prani mein tujhe dekha nahin, mere dekhne ka kya fayada

Toone Masoomiyat bheji, maine haivaniyat sikhai,
Teri dharti ki hai kya maine halaat banai

Is dharti pe main dhang se reh na saka,
Tere ghar pe mein kya khak rahoonga.

Shiksha Abhiyaan - What a Shame!

There is a ad running on TV these days - "Shiksha" and the patron is Renuka Sahane. The advertisement is on the behalf of ITC who coyly through

Renuka Sahane puts forward an idea - Buy ITC Products, the part of the proceedings would go to Education of children.

This is one of what I call blue collared day light robbery, in which you play with people emotions to dump your products on their head. Why don't these ITC guys come up with something say 5% of employee salary would go to the Shiksha abhiyan, 10% of the profit would go to Shiksha Abhiyan.

No they won't do it. Who would like to pay from their pockets? And what better way to get the money from gullible customers who would buy your products too, thinking they are contributing for the society.

This is the bane of our society, that voluntarily we won't take any action for poor. Some idiots have to come to scene and make use of this fact and rob us. What if each and every company claims that part of the proceeding would go to the Shiksha abhiyaan? Whom will you buy the products from?

And what part of the price are they giving out to the abhiyaan?

Say a product X from a company Y costs 10 Rs, ideally. These ITC guys charge 12 Rs for it and just make a donation of Rs 0.25 to the abhiyaan and pocket RS 1.75 for themselves?

Transparency is required in such cases. People are requested not to feel gullible and help such shameless people. No way are people benefited from such bastardly act, but only the pockets of such robbers get filled.

Say no to ITC products.
