Hi guys,
Hope you all are doing good. I am doing good too. I feel that living a fulfilling life is very important rather than how much you live.
We come across many people's example who has lived...

Call it due to ageing, but I was so sorry from yesterday when I burned the chicken that I had prepared for my son. He should have taken it to the office for lunch.
Then last night, I forgot that my rice cooker was not...

Though I may be young at heart,
the knowledge I don't shirk

I have some trouble with my ears
my legs and hips and eyes,

There is a saying that Everyone may have been a child before, but not all have been adult.
Old age is inevitable. Someday we shall all get there, as the case may be. A happy old age constitutes, in my understanding, peaceful and...

Fear does not wear a mask, it is we who do,
only when we fear the fear of the fear in fear.
Love embraces all of its friends, including...
