DEVA :

Winters here vary from place to place. We have few days when it is very severe but otherwise one can see colourful pull overs, scarves, shawls, caps, coats and what not. Come over and enjoy this season with us. Take care

8 things on your wishlist are the best!
It's just amazing to see people who take time out to care about other people.
Cheers!

Jack said...

RINKAL :

Watching TV is fine but one should not get addicted to it or as a matter of fact to anything. Take care

LAVENDER :

A very old old song had made an impact on me when I was young. It goes something like this "APNE LIYE JIYE TO KYA JIYE, TU JI AYE DIL ZAMANE KE LIYE." Which I feel implies that do something for the society and each individual is part of society, isn't it?
Take care
