My personal diary

Welcome to my personal world. You are very close to my heart now. If you listen carefully, you can hear my heartbeats. It is human. It is tender. delicate and fragile. It does not understand complexities of the big world outside nor vagaries of my destiny. You may see me smiling at times, sometimes in tears. Please handle it only with gentle care and pure love, because it knows that, and only that!

About Me

My photo
Vinod Varma
If you can walk with the crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!
Courtsey: 'If' of Rudyard Kipling
