788_Post office
Today's topic is Post office.
It's new year, how many cards did you send to wish your near & dear ones & how many did you receive? How many letters did you write in 2013? How many times did you visit the post office? I know, technology has brought the World closer, now you don't have to wait for a week to get a reply from another continent, it is instant! But the fun of writing on onion paper, putting it in an envelope, having it weighed, buying a stamp, sticking it & posting it! What fun! So let us get all nostalgic & share our post office experience here!
Did you know that India has the most number of post offices than any other country! (over 1,20,000 post offices).

Today's topic is Arches.
All experience is an arch, to build upon.

783_ Reflection
Today's topic is Reflection
As the year 2013 ends, its time to reflect upon the events in this year.
The lessons learnt, memories made & happy times!
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
Albert Einstein
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon
