In an universe where most of us are busy cursing our city for unpredictable weather, pollution,traffic,job,friends, manager,relationship
Some people are busy fighting their way out of an unfair life, against all odds these people are busy paving their pathways to greatness.

What effect does these stories have on me....

Well, over a period of time these stories have transformed a cry-baby like me to an optimist.

Whenever life seems a bit difficult, and things doesn’t go our way, instead of cursing our destiny and blaming every single entity around us,

we must focus our energies on other positive aspects of our lives
