Narrated by ace actor Rajkummar Rao, Spotify\u2019s #RukJaanaNahi helps record acts of empathy and courage that, quite literally, went beyond human comforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each week, Rao shares #Storiesofhope, tales of people who stepped up to perform superhuman acts of kindness, when it was difficult to maybe even act human. In one of the heartwarming episode titled \u2018Leaving no one behind\u2019, for example, the actor talks to Archie Sen, Swati Bheemgaz, and Dr. Ashma Begum, who ensured hundreds of animals who live among us are not forgotten or abandoned to die during the months of near universal chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XiW8yk-zUPk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spotify podcast is also introduced by a moving poem written by Swandand Kirkire. Narrated with exceptional depth of voice and grace, the poem talks about the courage of those who have stood steadfast in this battle against the unknown.<\/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 aaye hazaaron mushkilen\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Chaahe andhiyaare baadal ghire\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ye waqt ki aandhi aayi hai\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Aisi bipada dushman pe bhi na gire<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kirkire talks about the many sacrifices people have made during this pandemic, so many of us could survive. It was the average person, as mortal and vulnerable as the next who shined in the darkest of hours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Kahin oxygen kaa langar hai laga\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Kahin ghar ghar khaana pahuchana\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Social media ki stories ka helpline ab ban jaana\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Doctor nurses ka hafton apne ghar na pahunch paana\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kirkire talks of the many acts of selflessness and bravado that have littered the short, macroscopic memory of the pandemic and will soon become its distilled history. It may have been one of the toughest periods in country\u2019s recent history, but through it heroes have emerged and so has the country\u2019s sacrosanct soul. He writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Koi Dheeraj de koi saahas de&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0jisse jo bana woh usne kiyaa Aashaa kaa Deepak hum sab ne<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0kuchh bhi kar ke bujhne na diyaa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0tinka tinkaa karke yun\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>aa pahunche dekho kahaan tak hum<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0Ruk jaana nahi ek jazbaa hai<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0Jo dikhlaataa iss desh ka dam<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These stories prove that while we may see the world through the bleak lens of tragedy, it has also in its course assured us of its redemptive heart, its gut instinct to fight for life, love and livelihoods. Not just your own, but everyone else\u2019s as well. #RukJaanaNahi is an ode to the spirit of humanity, an assured light that cuts through the abyss of loss and hopelessness to tell us that there is empathy and love beyond the smokescreen of all that struggle. Beyond this period of pain, there is a revelatory echo of humanity at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To listen to Spotify\u2019s podcast #RukJaanaNahi, click\u00a0<a
