Looking fresh and glowing all day long can be quite a struggle, especially in summers  when we have to deal with dry  and  dehydrated skin.. Well, it is not easy to deal with pollution, dirt and oil due to continuous exposure to harsh sunlight/ UV radiations . It is hard to maintain a fresh face with  severe environmental conditions during summer time .

A few years back I'd gone to spend a month in Europe. It had been an exciting trip and I'd made many friends and visited wonderful places but when I boarded the Alitalia flight back home, there was an incredible childlike ecstasy like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I actually felt like dancing on the plane to the amusement of my co-passengers who had boarded the plane at Milan.

There was no lunch laid out for me the other day.

It’s a habit of mine to leave my door open, while I write in my study. The cook comes in everyday as she has been coming for the last twenty five years and cooks a meal for me. When the children were there, she cooked for all of us, but now it’s just for me, as my wife has her lunch between her cases at the hospital.

But, that day, there was no lunch laid out for me.

Was thinking of the free gift of health this morning as a friend asked me about my new glasses and remembered that morning when the watchman at the gate told me a friend of mine in the next building had had an accident, “His car is over there,” said the watchman and took me to the spot where the car was lying. I lifted the cover and saw the front had been severely damaged.

We human beings live in a society and human nature makes this society very complex as the human intention cannot be considered to be the appropriate one, for all the others who exist in the society. The political philosopher Hobbes believed that when two or more people want the same thing, they become enemies and attempt to destroy each other. The best for one could be completely wrong for the other.  The limited resources have proved to be challenging for the fulfillment of the human tendency of being always in need of more. Hence, conflict becomes natural among the individuals living in the society. To avoid this situation, laws are introduced in order to function the society smoothly.
