Ever seen all the three traffic lights glowing at a time? Confused what to do? What would you do? Please comment.

Philately grew as a hobby since my childhood inspired by my father who has a huge collection of both the Indian and foreign stamps. I have always admired the Indian stamps with dance forms, Michelangelo, freedom fighters, some stamps from Singapore with birds, Britain stamps with Queen, to name a few. At home, when I am bored watching TV or reading a book, I gaze at the beautiful stamp collections by my father. One of the biggest asset indeed.
In a decade, I have hardly contributed to the collection since no one sends a greeting card nor a hand written letter smelling fresh ink. It is hard to see stamps these days. Of late, I learned that the Post Office also delivers the new released stamps when subscribed to the philately club member ship for Rs 200/-.
Thus, keeping my philately collection alive. ;)
Have a look at the stamp released of yesteryear: 2009, 2008, 2007.

Author Mitch Albom
Pages 192
ISBN 9780767905923
Category Non-fiction
Few teachers not only teach you the lesson prescribed in the syllabus but also teach the secrets of leading a better life.
Morrie Schwartz was a professor at a college where Mitch Albom, the author of this book graduated. Morrie, affected by disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerasis(ALS) is well aware of the fact that his counting days are near and he would live for a short duration of another five years. He wants to make best utilization of the time. Morrie also organizes a "living" funeral inviting his close friends and mourns for himself. Strange, isn't it?
In the book, Mitch has interviewed several grieving family members, attended funerals. But he had never seen as Morrie cried. The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and let it come in. We are so much indulged in work that we forget how small things matter.
Mitch soon realizes that he has everything in life but something is missing. While eating, he had never realized how the food tasted - if it was good or bad.
Mitch unexpectedly meets Morrie whose lower body had been paralysed. Morrie, though, survives with the help of others is full of life and one could never make out the fear of death from his expression. Morrie prepares himself strong to face death. The professor and the student decide to meet every Tuesday. They spend time discussing the secret behind the happiness.
On first Tuesday, they talk about the world.
On second Tuesday, they speak about feeling sorry for yourself.
On third Tuesday, they talk about teachers.
On fourth Tuesday, they talk about death.
On fifth Tuesday, they talk about family.
On sixth Tuesday, they talk about emotions.
On seventh Tuesday, they talk about the fear of aging.
On eighth Tuesday, they talk about money.
On ninth Tuesday, they talk about love.
On tenth Tuesday, they talk about marriage.
On eleventh Tuesday, they talk about culture.
On twelfth Tuesday, they talk about forgiveness.
On thirteenth Tuesday, they talk about the perfect day.
On fourteen Tuesday, they bid good-bye.
Yet they continue to meet on every Tuesday. Death ends a life, not a relationship.
"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." - Henry Adams.
