36 ways to lead a happy and healthy life

I just received a wonderful email today. Thought of sharing it here and to re-read it when ever possible to keep these points refreshed in our minds. 1. Pray (have faith) 2. Go to bed on time. 3.

Convenience now a necessity!!

If someone asked you – ‘is a mobile phone important?’, what would you say? Well, I am not a gadgets person and never had a hand phone for years until a couple of years ago. Today I entered my office premises and realized that I am walking in without my ID card. Also, I realized that it was because I was not carrying my bag. The bag was on its way back home in the chauffeur driven two wheeler’s box.
