Hindi song from a movie, singer Muhammad Rafi, posted and translated by Ranu

Oh heart it’s difficult to survive here,

Move and take care of yourself

It is Bombay my dear!

……………………………………….:)

Here in this city every thing from trams to cars

to mills are available

Sadly you won’t find love!

…………………………….

There is no trace of humans

Truth doesn’t exist here

What exists is  robbery, tears, and starvation!

…………………………………….

Poor have no value here

they are rejected and kicked

The unemployed are given a lot of names!

…………………………..

They smile and call the  homeless vagabonds

The powerful cut the throats of the  innocent

And claim it’s business!

……………………………

One thing has many names

It is hard to survive here

It’s Bombay my dear!

…………………………..

The woman tells  the man

You call it an evil world?

Try not to be innocent!

……………………………..

You reap what you sow

Do not try to be what you’re not

It won’t work here

This is Bombay, this is  Bombay my dear!

Day Eight: Reinvent The Letter Format

Today write your post as a letter,About what, and to whom? Up to to you!

A piece of constructive criticism (or praise) to a politician

Dear Hillary Clinton,

When I heard you were nominated by the democratic party to contest the election for President of the United States, I was ecstatic. I knew you were way above others who were vying for president.That victory will be yours, and it will be the first time America will have a female president.

As the days were drawing closer, I had an eerie feeling I’d be disappointed. It’s not because you were unqualified for this position, as a matter of fact, you are the best.

What happened then? It’s the people who didn’t know the difference between a gem with a mere stone.

It is unfortunate your people did not know your worth. I for one believe that a day will come when those who went against you will repent their mistake. It will be too late, it’s a lesson they’ll learn.

My best wishes to you and your family,

Yours truly,

Ranu
