सुना है जंगलों का भी कोई दस्तूर होता है (There is some etiquette even in the forests)

The massacre of children in Peshawar, Pakistan was, so terribly sad. May the little ones rest in peace.

My great friend Lalit Joshi has sent a very touching and timely link. Thank you Lalit.

Take a look:


सुना है जंगलों का भी कोई दस्तूर होता है ... पाकिस्तान की शायरा ज़ेहरा निगाह की मशहूर नज़्म।

'Cliches, cliches and cliches'' by K.J.S.Chatrath

I read an article by a senior journalist in a newspaper yesterday. I found the following concluding paragraph as very interesting. It reads:

"Jammu and Kashmir is ready for an all-new chapter in its tortured history and the key players must seize the moment and work towards a grand vision that would bring the long needed peace and prosperity to the state, the nation and the region." (Emphasis supplied)

My take- Cliche's, cliches and cliches!
