Happiness and and being content matters a lot. Especially in our times. History reading can at times have a calming effect. I personally found reading history very relaxing during my school days. And when I came across different nations, I often wondered how it would have been for the people there. How would they have seen or judged our present? Does it really matter? If Yes, then to what extent?

I woke up late today. The thoughts and memories of some of my friends engulfed my mind. So I wrote an email to one and sent messages to few others. I dedicate this episode to my friends*, the people I have had the fortune and honour of coming across in my life. They have been my most patient teachers.
