Poem and inspiring words from My friend Ramasubramanian.
Looking at events of life with Positive Attitude,
Facing the trying and tough times with great strength and Fortitude,
In midst of misery and anguish, experiencing the brief moments of Beatitude.
At times, looking inwards trying to find some Quietude
Hope in various spheres of life, we reach some Altitude
Another Tough Year has gone by, leaving distinct memories behind
Summing up few major highlights, that’s happened around us,
Let’s Rewind In Melbourne, Nadal won record 21st Slam, defeating Medvedev,
