What do you think about this message by DC Hafizabad? Let us know in the comments below!
I am truly moved by the lovely comments and the praises showered upon me by almost everybody. For the few critics, who think it was against the set norms of society, of civil service, of artistic standards, or of their own pre conceived notions, let me put it very simply to them. In this age of infotainment and communications revolutions, when a public servant like me is pushed emotionally to utilize all his resources and faculties to send a message across effectively, which he sees is not getting truly across, he decides to give two hoots about the artistic, technical, bureaucratic, societal bla bla bla restrictions and just pours his heart out through the best modes and media at his disposal (despite all the artistic and technical limitations) i.e. poetry, music and (social) media … the result … effective communication … taking the message across … Mission accomplished. Why should I refrain from using my voice and my words for public service, if I claim to be a public servant.
Thanks again, everybody, for your appreciation of a humble endeavour, which you turned into a great success.
Stay blessed !
