Most of us rarely consider our true purpose in life. Is there a supreme reason for our existence? Can we have a fulfilling destiny regardless of our current situation?

I recently read a column by Jug Suraiya and noticed an interesting line. A Parisian innkeeper, Dossier Boulanger 1765 put up a Latin sign on his establishment which read, ' Venite ad me vos qui stomach laborats et ego restaurabo vos".

"I know you love philosophy and so here is my present for this year's birthday". It was a 'Book of Life written by J Krishnamurthy'. That gift was from my wife.
