✓Her hands trembling and her heart filled with utter joy and happiness, like a giggling schoolgirl, she gazed lovingly at the man who this day would become her husband until death do them part. Their wheelchairs were placed side by side in the room filled with family, friends and nursing home attendants, all smiling and tearful, while a seemingly group thought gripped them all: The body may grow old but the heart is forever young. ✓A single tear slid down his cheek, uncomfortable emotions clogged his throat, and anger pulsed at the injustice of it all when the tiny, perfect hand clasped his finger. With a frustrated sigh, he hugged the baby close, stood, and cast a last look at the carnage that represented two ruined lives, before walking around the lifeless body and handing the precious bundle to the waiting social worker. ✓A lone figure stands, unmoving atop a bridge. She reaches for the rails, and places one leg over, the rhythm of her heart blaring in her ears. ✓She took a...

Happy mother's day mummy!!! Always remember that our mothers will never tell about their struggles and suffering but we can always do something to lessen her burdens. It is high time that we recognise the importance of this angel in our life which is constantly making our life blissful with her love, understanding and kindness. It is hard to describe the feeling that a mother has towards her children. Mothers give an awful lot of support to their children, whether it involves very visible support or simple background encouragement. Not only do mothers support their children, but they also often hold the whole family structure together. When all is well, a mother puts her children before anything else, including their own comfort and happiness. Describing a mother's love is virtually impossible. It is a feeling that can only truly be understood by those that experience it. Famous saying states that "God could not be everywhere and so he invented mothers"! ...

The far we have as a nation, The endless problems, And the struggle for justice, Freedom and equal rights For every patriot calls for love, Peace and unity among the citizens of this Nation. Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action- Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.” Even as we celebrate this memorable day In thee history of our Mother Nation, Let us keep checking on our underprivileged Brothers and Sisters on the streets; Let us show the beauty of this Nation To everyone regardless of social, Economic Or financial background.

Imagine this scene a few thousand years ago in the Indus Valley region. A group of herders out grazing a few hundred cattle, enjoying the warm sun on their backs with the occasional cry of a calf seeking its mother and the mother guiding it. The whole herd is on the move as the lazy day passes by. Suddenly a bull decides to run astray. With wild animals lurking, there is the danger of the herd breaking up into smaller groups. A young herder emerges and chases the bull. Bulls being males high on testosterone run quite fast and finally the herder catches up with it. He lunges forward and holds onto the hump of the bull.

He leads it back to the herd and the group continues, while showering praises on the young herder for catching the bull. Now imagine this scene repeated on a daily basis and the herders sharing the story with the villagers when they ...
