Happy International Friendship Day to one and all,
Today we can all join hands and have a lovely ball,
Also let's always try to be ready on call,
For on one or another day we may have a fall,
All the way down the stairs to the hall,
And this may make hurt and make us feel small,
Thereafter, we may not be able to go anywhere, or pass our time at a mall,
Or wander around from stall to stall,
And stop for a while to buy a shawl,
As we may be able to just about manage to crawl,
Lest we go for a sprawl,
But when we are in union with Him, we shall always be steady and stand ten feet tall.

Golden opportunity for India
This refers to the report "From big buyer of gold, India should turn market maker in bullion : PM" (July 30). One would love to read the part of the report, "IIBX, ...aims to enable India to become a price influencer for global bullion markets by facilitating efficient price discovery, standardization, and sourcing integrity besides ensuring financialisation of gold in India" as a joint policy announcement* by the Finance Minister and the Prime Minister.
Once domestic gold stock is mapped and mainstreamed after taking all stakeholders into confidence the country's ranking in the international market will be much higher.
Need for India to divert precious forex for gold imports will come down, the present possession of gold by individuals and institutions will become decent assets giving decent returns (ask Tirupati Trustees), the traditional money lenders now in gold business will be forced to be transparent in accounting and Airports will be able to work efficiently with less work on handling smuggling of gold.
Indian Economy will enter the Golden Era much faster than the present expectations.

Life's Uncertainties
SUNDAY COLLAGE
Life is not about being Rich, Popular, Highly educated……
Life is about being REAL, HUMBLE & KIND.
IT IS AN ECHO
Which we need to send out,
It will come back to us…
What we sow, we reap….
What we give, we get.
What we see in others, exist in us.

Sunday Collage Profile : William Shakespeare
https://www.rsc.org.uk/shakespeares-life-and-times#:~:text=William%20Shakespeare
William almost certainly went to one of Stratford's 'petty' or junior schools where he would have learnt his letters with the help of a hornbook. From the age of seven or thereabouts, he would have progressed to the King's New School where the emphasis would have been on Latin, it still being the international language of Europe in the 1500s. Shakespeare probably left school at the age of 14 or 15.
(No need to regret having continued in School beyond 14. Only one Shakespeare and one Steve Jobs made it big. My research shows they were also unhappy later in life ๐-Warrier)

... & The Principal Secy in PMO is also Odia, Pramod Mishra ji... The most powerful post in India.
( They are only 3.3 % of the population & don't have any political clout & have a non BJP govt in the state. However it seems that still merit, honesty, hardwork, sincerity & efficiency etc gets rewarded in India, under Modi govt. )
And people say that Gujaratis are ruling the country
My response to a family WhatsApp Group in Kerala when this message was shared in the Group :
Many states can stake such claims. For
e g Kerala :
1) Has a gold stock valued at over lakhs of crores
2) Shankaracharya is from Kerala
3) K R Narayanan from Kerala
4) V K Krishna Menon and A K Antony from Kerala
5) A substantial percentage of medical professionals are from Kerala
6) Major portion of India's Plantations are in Kerala
7) After Maharashtra, Kerala can claim the highest forex inflow
8) Now some other surprises
a) Kerala population 3.6 crores, Orissa 4.6 crores and
Kerala GDP 9.8 lakh crore, Orissa 5.9 lakh crore
b) Orissa has 1.2 doctors per 1000 population against Kerala's 1.1 Now check health indicators
c) Orissa has only 2 Deemed Universities and 9 Medical Colleges against Kerala's 200 plus
d) Kerala has a strong healthcare infrastructure which is not there elsewhere in India
9) Art and Literature
a) Books written by Keralites have been translated into maximum number of foreign languages
b) Kerala has many artforms known worldwide
c) Kerala is the first geographical area to accept God as it's owner. Of course there are historical and Mythological reasons :
Like ;
i) Travancore was surrendered to Lord Padmanabha
ii) Northern part was retrieved from sea by Parasuram
The list is illustrative

Recent 3 incidents which have shaken us & made us rethink where we are moving.
1. Man**, who was owner of Rs 12000 crores empire Raymonds is now living in rented room on hand to mouth basis because his Son has shown him the Exit door.
(**Collage adds a link : https://www.news9live.com/india/explained-the-battle-within-the-singhania-family-133039)
2. A Billionaire Woman who died in her posh Flat in Mumbai, her body discovered a year later which had became skelton in one year and her millionaire son did not even bother to know about her, in the last one year.
3. An IAS level officer committed suicide because he was unable to cope up with the stress of his family issues.
Whatever you have in your life TODAY, please be happy with that.
Michael Schumacher*, one of the greatest drivers of Formula 1, is forgotten and fighting for his life after a ski accident in 2013 when he sustained severe head injuries! He weighs a mere 40lbs today and is fighting for his life daily.
To think... he won 91 GP and was 7 (seven) times world champion. The speed was in his soul but on a day of relaxation in a ski resort, fate intervened and his life changed forever!
To-date, his medical bill is around 14million Euros, his wife had to sell his properties to pay the medical expenses.
His tragedy could be a lesson in life for all of us. There is nothing permanent in this short sojourn on earth. Why bicker about race and religion when we all end up as skulls and skeletons without a difference!
You need money to survive but you need not be consumed by it.
Do not be unkind to yourself by saying you will enjoy tomorrow as tomorrow may never come.
Do not give excuses to have a good time with family and friends. For in the end, only they matter.
All we have today is today's time. Let's do good & learn to live a contented life!
Have no grudges with anybody...
We just have today..
Stay Healthy Forever๐๐น
