Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka ...

Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon
Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon
Na Kisi Ke Dil Ka Karar Hoon
Jo Kisi Ke Kaam Na Aa Sake
Main Woh Ek Musth-E-Gubaar Hoon
Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon

Fair Trade Towns Now US's Turn

A few minutes back, got an interesting news from a fair blogger from Brattleboro Vermont - United States.

It is happy to see Fair Trade towns taking shape in the US. Aware citizens can do alot in making differences in the lives of the most needy among the marginalised people of the world. That is what Fair Trade means. While seeing it from India, I feel content, that it would ultimately add on allies to the grassroots with whom we are working on the baisi of Fair Trade standards. All wishes to the people of Brattleboro from India.

Cheers!
