“Smart people learn from their mistakes. But the real sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others.”
Brandon Mull, Fablehaven
Smart people learn from their mistakes . Successful people learn from history and other people’s mistakes.The truth lies, and everything in between depends on perspective and who had the upper hand in any situation. History teaches us that.
75 years of India’s Independence, we have come a long way, but we need to go farther. We must help each other. But even more important is to do our part. Educate yourself and your family. Stay healthy
Be a good citizen. You are doing more than most people.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.’
Oscar Wilde
Today our Honourable Prime Minister, Mr.Narendra Modi talked about remembering the people and the pain of India’s partition. Not because we want to keep the wound from healing but because when you forget history, you are at the risk of repeating it.August 14th will be remembered as Partition Remembrance Day.

In life, perspective is the most challenging thing.You rarely know what others mean by what they say, even when you hear it.
Understanding is based on education, social circumstances, and worldview. That’s the crux of the matter.
Words can create chaos the world over or make friends. How you say it and how people perceive it makes all the difference. Perspective changes situations. Being empathetic means you try to put yourself in other people’s shoes, but do they ever fit?
Today I thought of getting something rolling. That’s the recording of my shortest book. I am deciding whether I will record the fiction or nonfiction. What I post today evening, maybe I will have a clue to that. But for now, I wanted to talk about perspectives .I took an art class about perspective where the teacher taught us how to get the vanishing point of one-point perspective right. In life, just like in art , perspective is what matters.
On India’s 75th Independence Day I wrote about the different freedom that I am thankful for.
