Can we take a break from all posts surrounding hate and intolerance and post some songs/lyrics/videos of peace? I was listening to A R Rahman's Vande Mataram on the way to work today and just had to play this song a few times:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Song: Gurus Of Peace
Artists: A R Rahman, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Album: Vande Mataram

Lyrics:
Chanda suraj laakho taare hai jab terey liye saare
Kis baath par hothi hai phir thakraare
Keenchi hai lakkeere is jameen pe par na keencho dekho
Beech mein do dilon ke ye deevaare

Duniya mein kahin bhi, dard se koyi bhi…
Duniya mein kahin bhi, dard se koyi bhi
Thadpe tho hum kho jahaan pe
Ehsaas uske zakhmon ka hoke
Apna bhi dil bhar bhar aaye roye aankhen

Doori kyon dilon mein rahe faasle kyon badthe rahe
Pyaari hai zindagi hai pyaara jahaan
Rishte badi mushkilon se
banthe hai yahaan pe dekho
Tootne keliye bas ek hi lamha

Ishk dava hai har ek dard ki
Zanjeer ishk hai har ek rishte ki
Ishk saari adhaon ko thod daale
Ishk tho duniya kho pal mein bhi nikaal de

Ishk hai jo saare jahaan kho aman pi de
Ronak ishk se hai saare aalam ki…

I hope civilization as we know will mature someday. Till then, lets pray for our future generations...
