Hi, I am a bit busy in office work and personal work from last 4 months. I may still be busy for 3 more weeks. I would like to post some good stuff in coming days. When I say good stuff I don't mean only the good content created by me. I wanna post any content which is worth reading (of course with due acknowledge). So keep checking............. I would like to hear your comments.

I believe our greatest enemy in life is fear, because fear keeps us from doing many of those things we would like to do that would make our life more complete and more enjoyable.

The Apostle James reminds us that doubt makes us ineffective, "a sea that is tossed and driven by the wind; and every decision you then make will be uncertain, as you turn first this way, and then that."
