Finally from our strongest lady prime minister
“My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.”
Indira Gandhi quotes (Indian Politician and Prime Minister. 1917-1984)
So , I am starting with my self, ,, I am forgiving all who have done injustice to me and to all who are close to me,, I think , this can help me to push me more closer to divine energy of god and help me to mercy of God. I just called one of my old friend ( we were avoiding talking to each other from last 15 years due to some feelings of anger to each other) and told him , that I have forgive you..and I am sorry , if I hurt you" I think , I got my friend back after 15 years.
Try is today and I think , you will have your good friends and family back to you.
