Bolo jivan kaisa hai? Jaisa banalo vaisa hai. Chahe isko swarg banalo, chahe isko nark banalo. What is life? Life is what we make it. Do we want to make it Heaven or Hell?

A thought leads to an action. An action leads to a habit. A habit leads to a trait. A trait leads to a character. A character leads to a destiny. That is why it is so important to watch your thoughts. They create your destiny.

Be happy, be peaceful. Embrace all, include all, exclude none.
