A Tourist

Hi guys! I recently went for an exciting tour to some places in India. Here I noticed many foreign tourists from different countries. To tell you the truth, they did look strange among the huge crowd of Indians. This is what I suppose got them those earnest glares. So today I decided to dawn the shoes of a foreign tourist in India and write a short autobiography upon them. So pull you socks high and enjoy this post!

With a huge but flashy bag strapped on my shoulders and stomach, I traveled through those Indian streets. I had a small guide book in my hand at which I occasionally glanced to refer to and also to hide my face from those embarrassing glares. A child clad in poor clothes hindered near me begging for a penny in some language which was gibberish to me. I put an Indian note in her hand and her face lit up. Later I heard someone commenting on my foolishness saying that I had given a hundred rupee to her which was of immense value in India.

I couldn’t understand why I attracted so much attention in this place but it wasn’t really good. People often asked for photos to be clicked with me to which I readily agreed when the contrast was in my mind. I felt absolutely like a celebrity at this time. Now I pity those poor actors who have to endure this discomfiture as soon as they stepped out of their house. Without knowing what to do I waved at the people who were continuously staring at me. This brought much more bad luck as they smirked a smile at me.

At the end of the day too I couldn’t understand if it was my dress, attire or looks which caught so much interest of the Indians. Throughout the day I couldn’t really concentrate on the places I visited and often ducked behind the guide book or anything similar. The next day of the tour I was wary to go sightseeing but this was the purpose I was here for so I endures on another hard journey through the Indian streets keeping yesterday’s mistakes in mind. I suppose I kept improving and avoiding more glances as the days went past and as the tour ended, visiting another place like this wasn’t a really good option on my mind.

The Fascinating Beauty Of Nature

The enchanting trees and the winter breeze

The shimmering sun and the sweet dew

The delightful fragrance of flowers

Beneath the vast sky which is dazzling blue

How I wish I’d see this view

And if this sight really does exist

Oh! This is my only wish

The beauty of which I can’t resist

The hills were carpeted in green

And the valleys with their beauty extreme

The birds chirping happily in the air

But this really sounds like a dream

The beauty that nature confers upon us

Ah! Why do we destroy?

The trees, the hills and the beautiful lakes

Not knowing, this is what our eyes enjoy!

My Eccentricities!!

Hi friends! Today I thought I’d tell you some interesting quirks about myself.

I’m ashamed to tell you that till the age of seven I’d thought that the computer was the television. I soon learnt the reality as I grew older when I once switched on the computer and saw the unfamiliar desktop.

I’m well known as a weather forecaster but no one except me knows the reality. Actually, when someone asks me about how the weather is going to be I look thoughtfully at the horizon and then tell them it’s going to be fine. Only I know that I’d heard about it in the morning radio. He…...he.

I’ve unluckily tripped over the slightly raised area at the entrance of my house nearly fifty times and I’ve been living in this house since seven years now!

I initially thought that brown chocolates were made of mud or sludge but changed my mind after eating them once. I’ve been a crazy chocolate lover since then!

The worst incident of my life happened when I was nine. My friend and I were crossing the street when I saw a dark man with curly long hair near the ice-cream store. I pointed to that man and told my friend that from his looks I can judge he is the worst criminal of our country. My friend didn’t talk to me for a week after that because I soon came to know that he was her Uncle!

So guys, now that I’ve told you some funny quirks about myself I ask for two things in return. The first one is that I want you all to post an encouraging comment. I would be glad to hear some eccentricities about you too. And the second thing is that I sincerely request you not to tell these funny moments to anybody! Shhhh……………..

The Poor Rotating Kitty!

This morning when I woke up, I didn’t feel myself. And the reason was that ….that ….. I wasn’t myself! I had a coat of black fur with white spots on it. I had sharp claws and paws instead of the usual nails and legs. Oh yes! I had turned into a cat.

I took this as a boon and decided to explore the house today. Suddenly, I remembered how curious I had been yesterday when I’d seen my mother washing clothes in our new washing machine. Strange it is, or you might think it’s craziness but I’ve always wanted to know how the inside of a washing machine would be.

So today when I’d got the opportunity, I made full use of it. I quietly slipped into the washing machine and discovered this new place. It was cozy and warm but not wet. It felt really comfortable. But this was the most devastating thing! It was such a luxury that I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep inside the washing machine.

And cats, as you know, are really lazy. So I too, wasn’t awake before I heard some deafening machine sound. It took me only a few seconds to understand that the machine was on work. My mother was washing clothes in it!

But before I could do anything I helplessly started rotating in the machine. Round and round and round and round and round……… that’s only what I felt. Oh yes, How could I also forget that churning sensation inside my stomach. I screamed loudly for help ……but only if I could! I had no voice. So I helplessly lay there turning around when a scream echoed in my mind. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…………………

Oh OK friends! I was just kidding. And if you’re wondering this story isn’t my imagination but a reality, which I turned into a story happening with myself. Yes, a ten week old kitten has experienced a spin in the washing machine. Poor Molly was only rescued when her owner, Bethany Hall, saw her through her machine door. Molly and her owner are residents of County Durham. And I‘m sure that all cat lovers would be glad to know that Molly did survive this helpless spin in the washing machine after all, and is currently consulting her veterinary doctor!

Her Destiny

She sat all alone in the dark room

With clouds of fear encircling her

She was a sight of complete misery

And her thoughts were a demur.

Depression and pain ruined her life

And I dared not to look at that poor soul

As she had lost a dear one

Whom she really did love much more

But what could I do?

Seeing her in pain wasn’t fine

Only I could pray to Lord

That she has for eternity a happy time.

My Mom's Punishment!

It was a lucky day for me. My mother had promised to take me to a movie. Wow! It was very rare she did that and after such great movies coming up, I was really glad. She assured me that she would come back early from her workplace and take me to the theater. All this sounded like music to my ears! Hurray!

I came home from school and soon got ready to leave home. I sat there eagerly waiting for a long time. As the clock struck past an hour I started loosing my patience. The time crawled away. An hour, two, three Ah it also came to four!

Now you all can imagine my fury! I was extremely, mind you EXTREMELY furious. My face was red with anger. “How could she forget her promise?” I asked my irate self. I would nearly have broken all the things lying near me, when suddenly my mom entered.

I yelled on the top of my lungs and reminded her of her promise. “Oh! I’m so sorry dear. I nearly forgot about that! You know, I was too busy but I’ll take you tomorrow if you wish” she said in an apologizing tone. I had now lost all the trust in her. I didn’t reply to her pleas but turned my back towards her with a sullen face.

Why do our parents scold us when we do minor mistakes? But when they do a major mistake like this we couldn’t even punish them! I decided I would punish her bitterly. And you bet that this was the worst decision that I ever took in my life!

I didn’t talk to her for the whole day. I didn’t even help her in the household chores nor did I even look after my younger brother for her! She asked me to help her out with the thousands of works but I turned a deaf ear towards her requests. At the end of the day when I was back home after playing in the park for the whole day I saw my Mom sitting in a really exhausted condition on the couch.

Looking at her state I really felt bad for her. I sat down next to her said sorry to her. She said, “Oh no dear! It’s my entire mistake after all. It was I who forgot my promise and I’m suffering for my mistake.” I was really touched by her generous speech.

All my anger melted down into sorrow. I dearly expressed regret over my foolish act to her and in return she took an oath to take me to the movie the next day! I was really glad that this terrible day ended well! I surely have a piece of advice for all those arrogant kids like me. Your mom may forget her promises at times as she has loads of works to complete. So remember her agony and never ever try to punish her as I did! Parents are really great!

An Interesting Bus Ride!

Carla nearly forgot that it was her Aunt’s birthday today. But she had to go for the soccer league too. “Am I a girl with superpowers to be at two places at the same time?” Carla wondered to herself. Suddenly out of the blue her brain started to work and “Oh yes! I could do it” she shouted. “I could take the soccer equipments and dresses to Aunt’s house and after a short visit I could be off to my stadium. Hurray!”

Carla hastily packed her bag and went off to the bus stand. She boarded the bus that came first. But unluckily this was the most crowded one. She sat in one corner by the window admiring the beauty of nature visible outside. Suddenly the lady beside her got up and a man came and sat down on the
empty space.

Carla once again tried to divert her attention towards the window but there was surely something fishy about this man. At the very next stop he got down from the bus. But surprisingly he didn’t pick up the baggage. Carla shouted out to him but he didn’t listen and literally ran down the bus.

As the bus advanced forward, Carla heard a faint “tick-tick” sound coming from within the suitcase. Full of curiosity and a bit scared Carla opened the case. She was horrified at what she saw within. It was a bomb!

“Aaaahh”, she screamed in terror. The bus came to an abrupt halt and the bus conductor came running to her. She explained the whole situation in detail and soon a bomb squad came to their location. The bomb was evacuated and the passengers were declared safe.

Carla was given all the credit for her bravery and valor. She was praised by all and her photo also appeared on the front page of the local morning newspaper. As Carla reached her Aunt’s house she got ready to get down. But Alas! She couldn’t find her baggage. She had been robbed during the confusion and had thus lost her baggage.

Carla had to miss her soccer game that day because she had not got the appropriate dress or equipments. But I’m sure she doesn’t regret it after this great experience! What do you think?

Playing Pranks!

If you were as naughty as me,

I’m sure won’t get you any tea!

Sticking pins on the teacher’s chair,

Troubling her saying a horse is a mare!

Breaking the utensils in the kitchen,

Telling my mom it was only a kitten!

I’m certain that you can’t give me any dare,

As then your hair you’d have to tear!

Playing pranks is what I love,

Oh no my mom’s here so I’m hiding above!

A Cow Sent To Jail!

It is common to hear people being taken into police custody because of their rash driving which causes many accidents. But have you ever heard of a cow being taken into custody by the officials? I suppose not, but hold your breath because this is exactly what happened in Cambodia.

A Cambodian cow was arrested by the police and was charged for causing traffic accidents. And also if the police officials are to be believed, at least six people have died in this accident. The cow was standing right in the middle of the road when a 66 year old motorcyclist crashed into him and died.

According to the reports the owner of the cow could also face a 6 month jail. This is because of the new traffic law which has been formed. It says that the owner would be held responsible for any accidents caused by his animal.

I pity the poor owner of this cow who has to suffer terribly due to his animal. I wonder what happened to the cow when the motorcyclist crashed into him and died. But don’t you people think that it is stupid and even unfair too to jail an animal if it naively causes some accidents? If a car rides right over the innocent body of a cat or dog why isn’t that driver jailed?

I hope at least some people can answer my question and wish that you are the first one. So go on, write a comment guys!

A Great Lesson!

Ria was extremely angry with her mom before she left for school. Her mom had scolded her unnecessarily for her little brother’s mistake. He had lost her notebook and now her mother was scolding her, saying that it was all her fault. So she went to school with a sour mood.

She didn’t talk to her mom even when she returned home from school that day. Her mother apologized (which was very rare) but Ria still didn’t agree. This was the third day after her fight and it was the History period going on in her class. Suddenly she was called by the principal to immediately leave for home. Ria was really taken aback but at the same time she was very glad too for not having to suffer from that horrible history lecture.

How did she know that she had a terrible surprise waiting for her at home? Her father was in tears when she reached home. “Oh dear”, he gasped, “Ria you were angry with your mom. Weren’t you? But now you can’t be angry with her anymore as she.,…..she….” he burst into tears before saying anymore.

Ria’s mom had cancer and had died hours after Ria had angrily left for school. Her last words were, “Sorry Ria”. She had died apologizing to her daughter. Ria couldn’t believe her ears. She felt as if the whole world had tumbled down upon her. She could not control the tears that flowed continuously down her cheeks. “Oh!”, she cried why did I act so insolently towards her?”.

A lesson that she learnt from this turning point in her life was that always love your dear ones, because you never know if they’ll be there when you furiously return home. Being furious with someone doesn’t always help. Cherish their sweet memories and adore them! Hope you’ll understand!

Cleaning Is Horrible!

“Clean your room! Take a bath! Wash your hands!” shouted my mom. Actually this has become a routine on holidays so I didn’t care much. But today it was enough! I was more than irritated. I suppose this was the tenth time she was yelling at me when I was doing some important work. “Why do adults care so much about cleanliness after all?” I wondered aloud to myself.

My parent’s room, I agree, is absolutely spick and span at all times but me, oh yes! mine is horrible. But why does it matter so much to my mother? A child’s room is supposed to be dirty after all, isn’t it?

The next day I went to my friend’s house for a party and you should have seen her room. Oh it was worse than mine. Towels, books, magazines and other stuff was scattered all around and it was the same in her house too. Her mom shrieking at the top of her voice telling her to clean up!

But I soon learnt why it is important to have your room as neat as a new pin. My school was going for a picnic next day and I was very much eager as all others. But unfortunately my darned alarm went wrong just that day and I woke up late.

This wouldn’t have mattered much if my room would have been in a proper condition. I would have found the things needed pretty soon, but I was jumping around the whole room finding the games I had to take. One socks was here and the other one at the far end of my room. Surely, I missed my picnic bus that day and couldn’t visit that beautiful park my class was going to. I cried all day and this was a turning point in my life.

I understood the importance of cleanliness that precise moment and then took an oath to keep my room clean at all times. I won’t say that my room would be really neat if you were to visit it, but yes, I’m trying hard! Hope I succeed when I grow older. Wishing that all young guys out there would have learnt a lesson from this narration, I’m taking your leave.

So the next time your mom yells at you to clean your rooms don’t scorn at her behind her back but get to work immediately. What are you waiting for now? Go clean your rooms!

I'm No Coward!

I sat on the chair

Boasting about my courage

I told everyone that

I was scared of no horror page

I said I wasn’t scared of

Great beasts or ghosts and I never cried

After saying this I was so sure

That my chest swelled up in pride

But suddenly I was proved wrong

As I screamed in fear

When I saw a rat

And then past my cheeks, trickled down a tear!

Laugh It Out!

I’ve been getting a bit serious for some while so thought that I’ll take a lighter turn and entertain you all with some funny jokes! Hope you enjoy them!

Strange Signs

Walking on the road I saw a strange sign at the nearby dry cleaners. It said “Working on the same spot since 21 years”

Really Funny

A teacher took the children outdoors to create awareness of the increasing soil erosion. The students formed groups to carry out their observations when a boy came running to her. “Jack has hurt his leg” he said. The teacher went running and found Jack groaning loudly. He was gaping at a wound in his knee but the teacher became even more concerned when the boy cried” My hand, my hand”. Concerned that the injury might be even worse she asked “what’s wrong with your hand?’ “You’re standing on it!” the boy snapped!

My Best Invitation

Whether it’s a typographical error or an overt plea, I am not sure. But I recently got an invitation that clearly stated “The honor of your presents is required”.

The Stranger On The Street

It was a scary night. The atmosphere was dark and serene. The storm was as fierce as a ranting bull. This wouldn’t be that bad if Carlos wasn’t traveling all alone on that scary street. No there wasn’t a single soul other than Carlos on that street.

Carlos had always avoided this street throughout his life while traveling back home. But today….today it was different. He was late from work and had missed the last bus home. With no other opinion he had to walk down this route.

And this is what he dreaded all his life! He had gone only halfway through the street when he saw a blurry figure standing just a mile away from him. It was a faded image and Carlos couldn’t believe if what he was seeing was a dream or a reality. The stranger was dressed in black from head to toe. A black coat, black boots and a black hat pulled low over his head.

But that’s not all. Dark red spots were visible on his coat and boots. He was a really a spooky sight to see. His hat was pulled low over his head. This was what kept hiding his face from Carlos.

“Wh….who are you?” Carlos stammered nervously. The stranger didn’t reply but instead he advanced towards Carlos. Carlos shrieked in horror. His loud scream for help filled the whole neighborhood but no one came to his rescue.

Carlos didn’t reach home that day. His family and friends searched for him but couldn’t find him anywhere. They soon learnt that he had taken the most dreaded street in New York City. It was only that day when a man dressed all in black had been brutally murdered on that street. His wandering soul was haunting for revenge………. And Carlos was the first victim.

Hope you aren’t the next so, don’t ever travel on a dreaded street all alone because you are bound to meet a stranger…. And maybe he too is dressed all in black. Beware!

Magic Wand

Sitting in the lonely corner of my room

I wish I could fly on a magic broom!

Fly in the night sky like the witches

I would swoop over houses, hedges & ditches!

I’m sure I’d have the time of my life

Brandishing my wand as if it was a knife!

Candies and toys is all that I’d want

But only if I had a magic wand!

My Memorable Moments!

I woke up that morning filled with new zest and vigor. My excitement and joy knew no bounds. Why not? It was my birthday today!

But there was something strange today. There wasn’t any huge card on my bedroom wall saying Happy Birthday. I looked at my bedside table in horror. There was no...no…Oh! no nicely wrapped present lying on the table.

Filled with dismay and disbelief I bounded down the stairs almost jumping over three stairs at a time. I ran to the kitchen and found no one. I then went to my father’s study and my brother’s bedroom but they were both empty.

Tears were on the urge to flow down my eyes when I noticed a small note lying on the table. Filled with hope that it was a sweet little birthday card I opened it. But no! It was a note telling me that my family had gone to my Aunt’s house and that there was food and milk in the refrigerator.

Filled with great annoyance and deeply hurt, I spent my whole day doing nothing in particular. I didn’t even receive any phone calls or those usual birthday visits from friends and family. I then went up to my room and decided to have a quiet nap.

After an hour or so I heard some noises coming from downstairs. Afraid that some burglars had entered the house I went to investigate. The living room was in complete darkness and I was sure that I had left at least one light switched on.

Suddenly my eyes were blazed as the room was flooded with lights. My parent’s friends and family stood with huge smiles on their faces. The room was nicely decorated and there were numerous presents lying on the table accompanied by a huge and yummy chocolate cake. Oh, it did seem really delicious!

The rest of the day was really enjoyable. I had no clue that my parent’s had arranged for a surprise birthday party! It really was wonderful!

What you have just read is an account of my last birthday party which was certainly the best of all the birthdays I ever had! Have you all ever had the pleasure to enjoy this kind of a party? Do tell me something about it by writing a comment.

Oh Lord, Bless Her Poor Soul !

Lying on the hard cold ground with no shelter overhead was the girl Christine. In the solemn night scene when the moon hung in the velvety sky, she was a poor sight to see.


Dressed in rags, the bony structure of Christine moved along the road with nothing but a few flowers to sell. She hoped to earn a penny or two for herself. Christine had not eaten even a single morsel of food the day before. But today she was filled with heart felt desire to eat something- even if it was a small cold piece of loaf.


She stood in front of the huge shop in the local street as she envied every richly dressed passer-by. She hoped that some wealthy person would come to her and relieve her of the radiant hues she was holding and also of the pain in her soul.


The shimmering hues of the sun dimmed and the whispering darkness arrived. There was no one on the street except Christine. She still stood with those truly beautiful flowers hoping that someone would buy them.


But now as the night time brought coldness making the atmosphere solemn and serene she quietly lay on the ground. She had been eternally relieved of the pain and burden of her soul, never to feel them again. The moon shined softly upon the petals that lay scattered around her making them sparkle as her bright and relieved face.


As she left this world forever with her last smile etching on her face the only thing I could say was, “Oh Lord, Bless her poor soul”.

What should I write?

Lying on the bed 

In a hopeless condition

I thought about something to write 

Using my imagination

Should I write about

Some magical fairies or dwarves

Or tell people what 

Someone’s life was?

Should I make them

Roll with continuous laughter

Or make them cry 

As they left thereafter?

After some time

Of nonstop thinking

I wrote this poem

With my eyes blinking!!!

The Naughtiest Prankster! (Part-II)

(If you've not read the first part of this story, here is the link: Naughtiest Prankster: Part- I)

After seeing your zealous excitement and interest that you showed to read the second part of my story I thought I’d better present the second part of it before you today itself. So here it is……

We, the twins, Vegna and myself, must have been real devils I suppose. I say so due to the stories or maybe myths I’ve heard about two twins being similar to each other. Arghhh…. Why did I play those pranks on Vegna, after all? I really acted like a fool and never thought that she too could trouble me in the same way as I did. Unluckily this is exactly what she thought and aah….did.

Vegna played naughty jokes on my family and talked rudely to my friends. The next day I was amazed that none of my friends talked to me and my parents scolded me unnecessarily for something I never did. Ah, it’s my fault after all. Anyways this really made me burn with anger.

To apologize for my bad behavior or actually Vegna’s bad behavior, I did some surprisingly good deeds. Everyone was surely amazed to see the other side of me. But that wretched Vegna, She took all the credit for everything I did. You must be wondering what I was doing at that time. So your answer is that I was shouting at the top of my lungs in the attic which used to be my hiding place. Vegna had found it out and had locked me inside the attic where no one could hear my voice!

The next on her list to trouble me was (Gasp) get really bad marks in….in…Oh, in my English Test. Can you imagine? English was my favorite subject, after all! I got very poor marks in the Test and my teacher scolded me telling that she had never expected such a thing from me. How could I tell her that it was not me who wrote the test but Vegna and I had been lying on the bed suffering from fever.

So hope you understand that it’s not that good (but not that bad too) to have a twin. That’s because if you trouble her/him, she/he too has the power to trouble you in return! Some of the brainies would have surely thought of that even before I wrote this post, I believe! So hoping that you enjoyed this post as much as you enjoyed the other one I’m taking your leave!

And Oh! this post has been written by the real ME and not by Vegna!!!!

The Naughtiest Prankster!

I woke up from the bed rubbing my eyes with laziness. I looked beside me and saw my very own image lying on the other bed. “Ah! Such a strange mirror! I said “I’m sitting on the bed and it shows me to be sleeping. And yeah, this mirror wasn’t there last night so how come it’s here now? Never mind!”

As I washed my face and returned to my senses, I noticed that it wasn’t a mirror image after all! It was a living body like you and me. I woke up that girl having a really spooky feeling inside myself. It looked as if Vegna (he...he that’s her name of course!) was wearing my mask over her skull.

She was just as surprised to see me as I was mind boggled! After some heated discussion, I discovered that she was my identical twin sister. Wow! Maybe…. We were separated at birth or Oh, you can assume it to be any story that you know about some twins meeting so late. Who cares?

Well I didn’t. All I cared about was how much fun I could have by doing all the pranks I knew about and then putting Vegna to fault! I soon ran around the house breaking my brother’s toys, troubling my mom and shuffling the papers on my father’s desk.

I spilled some oil outside the door of my brother’s room and hid in the corridor. I laughed to my heart’s content when I saw him fall yelling out loud. Later I put some pins on my father’s chair but this time I didn’t wait for the result because I was a bit scared. I then broke many utensils in the kitchen and had fun watching the troubled expression on my mother’s face!

When the whole house ran around yelling my name in anger I soon hid in the attic (my secret hiding place). Poor Vegna! She is the one who got all the scolding and punishment for my naughty pranks. I suppose she couldn’t speak out in her defense for she was too astonished to say even a single word. Anyways, I was glad at that news!

So did you all have fun reading this post about my identical twin? Some of you may also have noticed that I have only mentioned about how much fun I had with this twin but didn’t say anything about the disadvantages of this mirror image. I will tell you all about that too tomorrow (or else this post will become unbearably long).

So I guess you would have understood that I'm hinting you to post a comment below! Hoping that you had fun!!

Path To Success

Carl was extremely depressed as he stepped out of Mr. Claire’s (his boss) office. His boss had spoiled his wonderful day by scolding him for some work. His depression gradually turned into anger. Some time later he wondered how much power lay in Mr. Claire’s hand and soon his anger melted down into envy.

Now Carl became so greedy and envious of his boss that he had a resentful and powerful urge in him to become the boss even if it was for only a day. His colleagues and friends laughed at him for his jealous desire. Some helpful friends also told him that being greedy like this would harm him in the future.

One day, Carl was asking God to fulfill his desire when the direction of the wind changed. As you know, when the wind changes a person’s wish comes true. This is exactly what happened with Carl. Oh yes! He replaced Mr. Claire for one whole day. Overwhelmed with joy he resumed his exiting day ahead.

This day was not as great as it should have been. The whole day Carl had to deal with millions of files on his desk and various meetings. At the end of the day he was so stressed out that he began to have health problems. I suppose this was because his body was not used to this high level of stress and pressure.

Seeing his pitiful condition his friends laughed mercilessly at him. Sure you would agree saying that Carl is being punished for his greediness. But I hope Carl’s reply will compel you to think again.

In an exhausted state Carl said that he was glad he could live this day in his life. It is rightly said that only he who has the desire to attain success can grow up to be a successful man in his life. Carl’s friends were satisfied with what they had and did not wish to grow up into successful men. Carl enjoyed the sense of authority and power that he had only for this short span of twenty-four hour. This made him to take an oath that he would work day and night to become the boss not only for one day but his whole life.

Of course! Carl had to pay a little price for this luxury but he does not regret it. Thus I conclude that only he who wishes to and thrives hard can climb the steps of achievement and success.
