July 30. International                F-R-I-E-N-Dship Day. This gift called friendship.      A casual hi and hello tauted to sharing of one's favorite hobby over a cup of coffee and another then another... A bump of elbows in a crowded pizzeria... In a workplace where stiff personality takes its mellow... A mutual liking of a celebrity something as superficial as that...

Start with a healthy lifestyle. Remember your science teacher blah-ing about go, grow and glow foods, needed hours of sleep and physical exercises.          Commencement wanes for another starting line and the board exam high days seem to be accelerating. You are so fresh from all the feeds from your college professors (industrious they are!) and years of studying. So strike the board immediately. Though some intend to do self-review, consider a review center for it may be the step one can do to the least. So embrace the piles of bound lectures, notes, sample question-and-answer’s an
