Hello readers, We all know a strong foundation is very vital for any infrastructure. In the same way, our lives become better when we have a strong base. A foundation of values and profound life lessons. Being an Indian, I am so used to listening great stories and tales from our past which are fascinating. Oh! Also filled with many life teachings. Let's talk more about it in this blog. Here is the third one in the #quote_anecdote series, History repeats itself Time and again, we have heard this quote more often than we expected. Genuinely, I don't get the point of it at all, the fact that if history repeats itself and we already know it, then how come we don't stop it from happening ? Why do we need to have a deja Vu ?  Warren Buffet answered these questions by saying What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history.

Hello readers, Be ready to have a look at a very cliche bond of friendship, but well obviously, with a twist.

We all have been a part of school assemblies which began with something called 'Thought for the day'. These thoughts were usually some deep or meaningful quotes that had some real wisdom to offer. Being a kid apart from the real world, it was hard for us to actually understand those quotes on a deeper level. But now as we get a feel of real life, we often fall back on words we have heard growing up all these years. It is true what people say that some advises only make sense at the right time. I also believe that our growth cannot be rushed. Our understandings develop over time and that's alright.  So, for a change I decided that why not share one life quote with one of my personal life anecdote which made me resonate more with the quote and made me a better person.   Here is the first one in the #quote_anecdote series Being the youngest kid in the entire family, I have grown up as a highly pampered child. My demands got fulfilled even before expressing them. But everything
