Express Yourself - Aankhein

Hum aankhen kyun churaate hain, Hum baat karne se kyun katraate hain. Nayi aawaz se kyun daar jaate hain, Kyun gunjhti duniya main khamosh reh jaate hain. Naye logon se kyun sharmaate hain, Kyun hasraton ko duniyadaari main ganvaate hain. Chalo dunaiya toh parayi hi sahi, Kyun apno ke aage bhi chup reh jaate hain. Hum aankhen kyun churaate hain, Hum baat karne se kyun katraate hain.

They point out that ineffective communicators are usually the ones who skip meetings, figuring someone will fill them in later, ones who are asked same questions repeatedly by friends/colleagues and the ones who reply to a message with multiple questions in it but only answer one of them.
