Through the struggle, we accomplish a great bond that can’t be broken. We marched on, though the journey is tough, through the rough paths we march on, even as we stumble and fall, with bruised arms and knees we gather a strength that is almost gone, soaked in sweat and trickles of tears its saltiness overpowers that of our sweat.

She had to choose another outfit. It got burnt…

We have witnessed some lifetime investments, loans, and earnings within the twinkle of an eye dwindled with no hope of compensation or restoration. All these happenings having space in…
