2nd October is significant. It’s the birthday of the father of the nation Our beloved Bapuji ,Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

Just like children can’t follow everything parents teach ,we still believe what Gandhiji taught us .If not in words but in spirit.

In this changing world we often treat people exactly like they treat us.

Who will blink first.Who will walk the extra mile?Who can give without expectation ?Who can be  a selfless giver?I have issues about turning the other cheek.Maa Durga didn’t !

When the evils if this world overflow,balance is established by survival laws.

Debates for the drawing room.

Throughout September I have shared bits and pieces of the book summary for the ” GO GIVER” .

Why do our soldier’s join the army navy and airforce?

Birth and death are predestined.

But joining the armed forces is seeing death in the eye everyday.

The family prays ,the soldier misses his family but  when duty towards the motherland beckons ,they  can only  see that.

In face of that sacrifice, what we do daily ,our personal  struggles appear dwarfed.

But we are all fighting our own devils in the backyard.It’s easier to discuss Pakistan than that!
