Fight with inner self

When we do not scare from our death and deeds, then why we scare from our bad habits. We should face and fight them at each and every moment to oppose them. 

Fight against yourself

Diwali celebration with planting trees / Green Diwali

Hey friends, 

Can there be a Diwali celebration with planting the same number of trees comparing the number of crackers we burn. Can there be thought of Happy Green Diwali. 

Green Diwali a day for the entire earth,  a day of celebrating with exchanging of plants, flowers and small buds. 

Buying happiness for this entire instead of making self or single happiness. A day to laugh and greet a lot with spreading love of planting. Preparing rangoli with colorful flowers, mud and giving good food and clothes to those who can't afford it. Giving love and giving love can be our moto. 

Play safe Diwali plant more tress and encourage Green Diwali.
