There is a famous saying which many have attributed to Anurag Shourie that, “A half-truth is even more dangerous than a lie. A lie, you can detect at some stage, but half a truth is sure to mislead you for long.” This unfortunately has plagued many in times past and continues to do so today. The future we all ought to seek, must absolutely include the decision of where we will spend eternity. As w...

There was a 1989 hit song, "Remember all the good time, forget about the bad times." And even if you don't know the song, I'm sure we are all familiar with statements that echo similar sentiment.

One would think that since wars are so bad, other countries will desist or refrain from engaging in it after the very first one. However, there still continues to be wars within and between countries today. Well one obvious reason why wars still happen is because someone certainly benefits from it.

In-fact, many couples who are going through divorce still affirm that they love each other but can no longer live with each other. May I humbly submit to you that a huge part of this is because of the various...
