This is a story of an elderly carpenter who had been working for a contractor for many many years.

Nice Speech given by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis A very nice article... Speech given by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis. Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life.
