What really matters is invisible to the eyes!

‘ It is easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, but what the world sees of the person is only one tiny faucet of the iceberg. There is a story behind every person. There is a reason why they are the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone.’ Our life has a meaning only if we keep having an interaction with people. Right. We meet a multitude of people in our lives with whom we chat, talk, discuss various matters, etc. But now let us pay attention to the details. Can you tell me the first thing we all do when we see new people? Do we instantly go to talk to them or do we straightaway shake hands with them? Let me tell you; we do nothing of this sort.

There is  UNITY EVEN WITH SUCH A VARIETY.  As Rabindranath Tagore very eloquently said:  If  God had so wished, he would have made all the Indians speak one language, follow one tradition and religion, but God did not want it this way. He felt that the identity of India would only be in having a diversity.  Criticism and inequalities are not the ideologies we follow anymore. Over the years, we have evolved as a leader with a strong bond of humanity among us.  India is such a diversified civilization with over 1650 spoken languages, varied dressing styles and with millions of people coming from various backgrounds and cultures, but despite of al
