Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works whether we accept it or not.
Bhakti, a love warrior, stared her journey with these little bundles of masti gang three years ago by tutoring them with some basic principles of English and Science. While explaining them the law of gravitation, she also started sharing the law of kindness and the multiplicity of its ripples.

So I feel like I'm a conductor. :) Each one of you I imagine as different notes melodies -- some resounding with hope, some resounding with dreams, some resounding with so many different, deep beautiful emotions.
So let's start a symphony.
I would like to share my journey from my teenage days till now. In the eighth grade, I failed in all the subjects, and my teacher told me, "You are a very hopeless kid; very poor in math."
