"You observed your own life quite well, as it is passing by, and that helped you easily recollect details from your past. It is an art and an excellent habit to consciously extract the most from each minute of one's life. It shows how much regard and respect you have for your own life and life in general. It also shows how thankful you are to God or the Supreme One and to your own parents, for giving your life and opportunities. When one writes and publishes one's memoir, it shows how confident one is about one's rightful and RESPONSIBLE living... how one takes entire responsibility for how one's life went by... You are great Dada" Dr CNSP Rao; DIG (Med), Ftr HQ, Spl. Ops. Odisha, BSF.
