In a recent episode titled \u2018A place to rest\u2019, for example, the actor talks to Versha Verma, Madhusmita Prusty and Merajuddin Khan, three bravehearts who conducted funerals for grieving families, ensuring their loved ones received a dignified last send-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sfqS70QID10\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spotify podcast is introduced by a moving poem written by Swandand Kirkire. Narrated with trademark gravitas by the ace actor, the poem enunciates the courage of those we haven\u2019t heard or seen enough of, the silent battles people have fought for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/57aAhBbT6FU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Chahe kathin ho ghadi, aye dil sun\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tu zaraa bhi ghabraana nahin<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kirkire appeals to everyone to keep their faith, trust their faculties to fight through these difficult times. To the hopeless the poet appeals to have the fortitude of the many stories that have become inspiration for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Aisi kai misaalen mulk mein hai\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tu sun le unkaa afsaanaa\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ek rikshawala hai jisne<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Mann mein bas itna hai thana\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bina shulk ke niswartha bhaav\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bimaar ko hospital pahunchana\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kirkire weaves several such examples of selfless sacrifice that have littered the short, macroscopic memory of the pandemic and will soon become its distilled history. It\u2019s after all the story of the human spirit, of the most basic of humanly instincts \u2013 care. He writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hum sab is desh ke baashinde<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Yahan koi shakhs begaana nahin\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Har dil mein goonj rahi ek baat\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Aye di tu Ruk jaana nahin\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We might look at the world through the coldness of tattered glass, but it is at the end of the day, salvaged by the same flaws that make it imperfect, yet worth fighting and risking everything for. #RukJaanaNahi is a timely reminder that despite its problems and inner frictions, people, especially in India retain a sense of humanism, of rising to the occasion when called upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To listen to Spotify&#8217;s podcast #RukJaanaNahi, click <a
