Today we received bad news from a friend of ours. His wife has got a stage 4 cancer and she is only 38. I am thinking how ignorant we are about our life span and not living to the fullest. We have to study hard for getting into a good university then have to look for a good job. When we have a job we work restlessly for a better lifestyle until we break down. It's a struggle. However, we should also enjoy life and appreciate each and every minute for being alive and well. Another thing is: we need tender, love and care to make our lives more meaningful. Either be a giver or a taker it is important that we have someone who cares about us or whom we are cared for. I should know better about how life can be so short. My father died at 29 and my mother, at 56. They were together for only 7 years. Who would have expected that they would be apart in such a short time? They might have quarrelled, cross with each other and not talking for days as a normal couple. Instead of sharing the precious moments, we tend to forget the fact that life is not eternal. May we love one another everyday.

Favourite quotations of Gandhi
Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permane
nt than the one derived from fear of punishment.
A man's true wealth hereafter is the good he has done to his fellowmen.
Man's upward progress means ever increasing difficulty, which is to be welcomed.
Human life is a series of compromises and it is not always easy to achieve in practice what one has found to be true in theory.
True nonviolence is mightier than the mightiest violence.

Walking along the coast
Walking along the coast; you will forget all your worries. I thank God for the fresh air, the blue sky and the clear water.
Walking along the coast; you will feel as if you are in heaven. I thank God for the beauty and amazing colours of various flowers and their sweet scent.
Walking along the coast; you will see God's great creation. I thank God for the open space and the endless paths to walk.
Walking along the coast...
