In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians
and religious heads to the people of our country? And in comparison, what is

strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
-Deep Trivedi

-Friedrich Nietzsche
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
