And unless we stop and smell the roses on the way, we one day realise that the destination is an empty shell without the simple joys of the journey.Sucharita Sarkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802171314546508539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928213105163544522.post-2728108529666016822009-02-10T04:55:00.000-08:002009-02-10T04:55:00.000-08:00We all know it , don't we?
