Re: Peshawar attack scares the hell out of the likes of Hafiz Saeed, Musharraf
The main issue i had with the original comment was that there was a generalisation when it was said that “Indian facebook pages are filled with..” in one of your original comments. It could have been said “some” . You didn’t mention all the positivity they were filled with or that second leading twitter trend was indiawithpakistan](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=IndiaWithPakistan)
That’s all my main point was. Thanks.
Amitabh Bacchan has said that victims of Peshawar need not sympathy but prayers.
Bollywood lyricist Prashoon Joshi (Hum tum, Taare Zameen Par, Fanaa) wrote this heart touching poem about the Peshawar tragedy.
“Jab bachpan tumhari god mein aaney se katraange lage Jab maa ki kokh se jhankti zindagi baahar aaney se ghabrane lage Samjho kuch galat hai…
(When childhood is hesitant to sit in your lap
When life that watches out from a mother’s womb is afraid of coming out, Know, something is wrong)
Jab talwaarein phoolon par zor aazmane lagein Jab masoom ankhon mein khauf nazar aane lagey Samjho kuch galat hai…
(when swords use their force on flowers
When innocent eyes show fear
Know, something is wrong)
Jab oas ki boondon ko hatheliyon pe nahin, hathiyaaron ki nok par theherna ho Jab nanhe nanhe talwon ko aag se guzarnaa ho Samjho kuch galat hai..
(When the early morning dew sits still on the edge of weapons, not palms, When the soft feet of tiny tots have to walk on fire Know, something is wrong)
Jab kilkariyan saham jayein
Jab totli boliyaan khamosh ho jayein
Samjho kuch galat hai..
(When squeals of kids stop suddenly in fear
When the sweet stutter of kids go silent
Know, something is wrong)
Kuch nahin, bahut kuch galat hai
Kyonki zor se baarish honi chahiye thi poori duniya mein
har jagah tapakne chahiye the aansoo
Rona chahiye tha uparwale ko aasmaan se
Phoot Phoot kar
sharm se jhukni chaiye thee, insaani sabhyata ki gardanein
(Not some, but most of the things have gone wrong
It should have rained heavily across the world
Rains of tears should have fallen everywhere
One who is above should have wept from the skies
Torrentially,
The necks of human civilization should have hung in shame)
Shok nahin, sock ka waqt hai
Maatam nahin, sawalon ka waqt hai
Agar iske baad bhi sar utha kar khada ho sakta hai insaan Samjho ki kuch galat hai.”
**(It’s the time of thoughts, not mourning
It’s the time of questions, not gloom
And yet, even after all this, if humans can walk with heads high, Know, something is wrong)

As for Shanakht. It is about identity, liberalism vs conservatism and how that doesn’t always reside in external appearances. It is a family drama following the tale of a girl who is from a liberal elite family who don’t understand her.
