About this book

New dawns in life can break even at seventy-one, for the best things in life may yet be at the door. Joint families, grandparents, a treasure house of love that gives security in life and helps one face even adversities with fortitude and equanimity – these are not things that gadgets can give. It is in giving that we receive. Give away love, and it will come back to you. Love conquers all. The seed of God's love implanted in your heart helps you reach out with overflowing love. What difference can you make in life, and where?
