Is it possible to die gracefully? One author, Mitch Albom masterfully demonstrates that it is, through the poignant narratives of the individuals in his two remarkable works. My journey began with Finding Chika , which subsequently guided me to its spiritual predecessor, Tuesdays with Morrie . While Finding Chika overwhelmed me with deeply touching emotions, Tuesdays with Morrie evoked a sense of homecoming. One person’s life can serve as a profound lesson for another. We often remain oblivious to the myriad experiences encapsulated within the lives of others.

I agree but then there are more to add to the list. Unfortunately an uprising is not around the corner and fortunately things are changing albeit slowly !!!

Vidya: I would call it a good suggestion. Its been yrs since I bought crackers, anyways.
