It was a great programme . His Excellency spoke with, grace ,dignity and empathy. His body language matched his words. Thanks Ramesh Hangloo  Ji for organising and executing this Great Event. It was nice to see His Excellency donning the traditional Pheran and Dastaar.The book released by Radio Sharda conveys true  story about the efforts of Ramesh Hangloo Ji and his team towards  preserving, protecting and ensuring continuity of  the language and culture of a community under severe  stress. Thanks Ramesh Hangloo Ji for providing me a platform to present my two books to His Excellency before reading the Vote of Thanks.I concluded the Vote of Thanks with this couplet:

”Sarv-o-saman bhi, mauj-e-naseem-e-sahar bhi hai

Aey gul tere chaman mein koi chasm-e-tar bhi hai?

Duniya sune to qissa-e-gham hai bohot taveel

Haan tum suno to qissa-e-gham mukhtasar bhi hai……."

My English translation is this :-

(There is the graceful cypress, 

Fragrance of  jasmine flowers too , 

And the soft morning breeze too.

O flower,

look around,  

There sits a  person with tearful eyes in your garden as well ?

If the world listens, 

The tale of our sorrow is very long;

But  , yes, should  you listen,

 it becomes brief as well.)
