कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती / हरिवंशराय बच्चन  Hear it on  https://m.soundcloud.com/anupamkher/04-lehron लहरों से डर कर  नौका पार नहीं होती कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है चढ़ती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है आख़िर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है जा जा कर खाली हाथ लौटकर आता है मिलते नहीं सहज ही मोती गहरे पानी में बढ़ता दुगना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती असफलता एक चुनौती है, स्वीकार करो क्या कमी रह गई, देखो और सुधार करो जब तक न सफल हो, नींद चैन को त्यागो तुम संघर्ष का मैदान छोड़ मत भागो तुम कुछ किये बिना ही जय जय कार नहीं होती कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती

Happy that the Jan Lok pal bill was not passed in 2011 I have liked Amitabh Bacchan movies right from childhood, what was it that made me like it?

It is the new angry man standing for all that we think someone should stand for.  No matter what deep down it has shaken the conscience of the people. It has brought hope.

You have to get up earlier than you want to get up. You have to give more than you get in return right away. You have to care more about others than they care about you. You have to fight when you are already injured, bloody, and sore. You have to feel unsure and insecure when playing it safe seems smarter. You have to lead when no one else is following you yet.

You have to grind out the details when it’s easier to shrug them off. You have to deliver results when making excuses is an option. You have to search for your own explanations even when you’re told to accep
