-Mahatma Gandhi
There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
-Maya Angelou

Similarly, in life, different roles played by the same person should exist peacefully and distinctly inside him. Lift your spirit with the joy of colour.

To be absolutely independent in each and every field of life, is your first and
foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
