No Tobacco Day - Please Quit Smoking

Its been a really long time since I had last scribbled on this notepad. Its been quite an eventful 2nd semester at IITD about which I will tell you soon. As for today, I thought I might republish my earlier poem as an appeal for people to quit smoking. So here it goes dedicated to all the smokers reading it...

Smokers say कि सुट्टे से मिलती है ख़ुशी
but what they don't realise is
कि सुट्टा मारने के बाद
वो  हो  जाते हैं थोड़े pushy,
थोड़े  agressive, थोड़े  moody

Smokers say कि सुट्टे से मिलता है मज़ा
but what they don't realise is
कि उनके पास वालों के लिए
उनका धुआं बन जाता है सज़ा
and they get cancer as a जज़ा

Smokers say कि सुट्टे से मिटती है उनकी भूंक
but what they don't realise is
कि धुआं जब अन्दर जाता है
तो अन्दर का सब जाता है सूख
in your every deadly फूँक

smokers say कि सुट्टा छोड़ा नहीं जाता
but what they don't realise is
कि उसे छोड़ना है ज़रूरी
इसीलिए मैं  ये message हूँ लाता
कि हो determination तो बंदा सुट्टे को ज़रूर छोड़ है पाता

please understand my message

cos what you do have to realise is
that smoking kills and leaving it
will definitely increase your age
says medical books' every page


Signing off...
A friend of all smokers

PS
1) Currently in my 2 and a half month vacation from college. Hope to blog more in the coming days. :)
2) Even if a single person reading this poem quits smoking, I will count that as my success
