Home Delivery Service
He started his professional life as a postman. The village he lived in did not offer many career options, and he was sure he did not want to be a farmer.

I try, but ….
I try hard to forgive. Maybe, you were trapped in a certain set of circumstances. Maybe, you had priorities which did not match with mine. Maybe, we live by different value systems. A knife was stabbed in my back, and it still hurts. I try to desensitize myself to the pain. Yet, I cannot forgive … Continue reading I try, but ….
