Fact of the day: On this day in 1709, Alexander Selkirk was rescued from a desert island having spent time there after a shipwreck. This inspired Daniel Defoe to write the famous book entitled Robinson Crusoe.
Quote:Whether you drive a BMW or Maruti, the road remains the same. Whether you fly Economy or Business Class, your destination doesn’t change. Whether you wear a Titan or Rolex, time remains the same. Whether you use a Samsung or Apple, the people who call you are the same. There is nothing wrong in dreaming about a luxurious life. What needs to be seen is that need doesn’t become greed, because needs can always be met… but greed can never be fulfilled. Rajnikanth
