If there is one thing, I have in plenty in an inexhaustible way, is TIME. I have no property; no food; no knowledge; no commitments. I want all these, but they cunningly elude me. And there is money – it sticks to me as thickly as a rain drop sticks to a rain coat! Thus […]

A DAY WITHOUT WALK
A day without a 10 km walk is wasted. That day of life is ruined. The continuous conversation with the Creator is interrupted. His words of wisdom went unheard. That day is the day death began to become victorious over life. A flower called day has fallen for ever from the tree of life. This […]

I have only two friends for life. I realized the existence of these friends much later…when I began thinking in a matured manner. These […]
