Warrier's Friends' Collage May 2026 Part II (May 10, 2026)

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, May, 2026 Part II (May 10, 2026) Friends As you are experiencing, Collage is changing. Rather experimenting. I've discontinued the pattern we followed during the pandemic. Then we were trying to share reader's contributions/responses. As the time I devote to bring out Collage, even as a weekly bulletin is limited, I'm just keeping the torch burning 🙏 Regards M G Warrier Quote of the Day by Leo Tolstoy : "I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back." (As per BrainyQuote) A Good Morning Thought for today : The above excerpt is from "Unposted Letter" by mahatria Ra. The book was gifted to me by our Dentist Dr Naman Hiralal Vora. When I gave a copy of my book suggesting he may place it in the bookshelf in his lobby, he gave this book as a return gift to me. For me, the idea that "Today is the best day to begin something new" was not a new message. But the way in which it's presented here is piercing.

Asia peace hope’ (May 7). Trump’s war has, in addition to disturbing world peace and killing innocent civilians, caused havoc to the trust common man had in savings instruments like equities and sovereign securities. People have diversified investments from savings and slowly a pattern of investing in multiple avenues is developing. The recent crash of equity market has shaken the growing trust of investors. If the trust is not restored, panic responses will destroy the institution of stock market built over time.
