  • I think :- Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams. We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves. Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. !! Be Busy Be Happy !!
  • I removed the category of 'petrol station' because your tag is about a village, and not about a petrol station. You can tag the petrol station separately if so wished.
