कर लूंगा जमा दौलत ओ ज़र उस के बाद क्या दुनिया में होगा नाम मगर उस के बाद क्या मौज आएगी तो सारे जहाँ की करूँ मैं सैर वापस वही पुराना नगर उस के बाद क्या बुझ जाएगा चराग़े-क़मर उस के बाद क्या उठी थी ख़ाक, ख़ाक से मिल जाएगी वहीं फिर उस के बाद किस को ख़बर उस के बाद क्या... ~Qamar Jalalabadi --------------------------- These lines strike hard. Strikes that little part of our soul that's eternally pure. The one that wants nothing. The one that knows everything, but may be is just in solace, in 'मौन' mode. Man often runs behind 'paisa' and 'power' and forgets to value the most important P in their life~ People! Value emotions, value relationships, value time, value love because that's what remains forever , वरना तो - "फिर उस के बाद किस को ख़बर उस के बाद क्या..." ___________________ (PS - Though this platform is all about boasting and display of power and professional positions, I hope poets like Qamar Jalalabadi keep us grounded in our never ending quench of ambitions. Go slow my friend, the world is definitely yours.)

When brand wars get intense, it's always fun for consumers! Just came across this old banter between Pepsi and Coke 👌 #marketing #Adwars
