You had resources.
You had to study.

If you studied, tumhe pta hai.
If you didn’t, tumhe pta hai.

Haanji!

Kal aapke saalon ki mehnat ka hisaab hai.

Har wo late night study,
Early morning anxiety,
Circumstances ka pressure,
Society aur parivaar,

Har wo insaan jisne tum par shaq kiya, uska jawab kal apne gyaan se dena.

Jao apni Bal Buddhi Vidya lekar aur Jeet kar aao! ❤️ 👏🏼
