Who Carves Our Destiny ?

Blame not, any one for your fall !

You are the cause of your success or failure !!

No one lifts you up, except your own SELF !!!

Don’t fall pray to vice and floor your SELF.

You are your best friend and worst enemy too !

If fallen, ricochet with equal vigour - like a ball
