or visit any temple, mosque or church and the truth is, they are living life much
more happily and peacefully. But today, no one in this world is living without the

not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
-Deep Trivedi
