“It’s our responsibility to create a better world for our future generations.” 🌎
📖 Yapdoo Chey

2. The invisible language of the soul; the sense that the universe, despite its vastness, is gently reminding you: “You were never alone.”
Origin: Coined by Indian poet Dr Haroon Rashid in his poem Yapdoo Chey (2025) translated in Arabic and Korean Language.
