2009. When Sonia Gandhi travels economy class, 5 rows are booked for security/entourage. 1946. When Mahatma Gandhi travels Third Class, 2-3 bogies are booked for family/supporters. Austerity Congress Style!

Our whole life is a result of a series of miracles and we don’t even realize it!

If you really want a thing badly enough then the whole universe conspires to see that you get it. Problems: 1. Knowing what you really want. 2. Wanting it badly enough. 3. Fear of fulfilment. Where will I go from there? … So the universe keeps waiting.
