Paraposdokians and Dabur Chyawanprash

On gappa blog yesterday
 read about - "Dabur Chyawanprash"
have never heard of this
and it sounds amazing.
 Amazon sells,
they sell everything and
thinking of  ordering.

Received this  early morning
and sharing a few...

War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

In filling out an application, where it says, "in case of emergency, Notify, I PUT DOCTOR

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head
and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy

Going to church does not make you a Christian any more then standing in a garage makes you a car

I used to be indecisive.  Now I'm not sure.
