Javed Akhtar: The gift of words

The gift of words

Words bridge the gap between humans and animals, transferring generations of knowledge and culture, shaping our evolution.

The essence of communication lies in the depth of words, not speed. Our fast-paced world risks losing the richness of language.

Embracing words with respect and understanding unlocks their power to carry culture, emotions, and ideas across generations.
