By Beena Mathur Mahatma Gandhi had once said that nature speaks through our instincts very clearly, if only we listen to her. Everything natural, every flower, leaf or tree, and every animal have important lessons to teach us if we would only stop, look and listen. There is a story about two ducks, who get into a fight. The fight never lasts long. They separate soon enough and float off in different directions.

Deepak Ballani Love, like a muscle, is strengthened by use. On the other hand, love, like faith, is totally dead if one doesn’t work at it. Words and acts, motivated by our feelings deep within us, come from the heart, representing our inner motivation.
