Similar to the calendar, it holds important pieces of information, as well as a few personal items. A postcard, a present from my grandfather, would likely catch one's eye.

Calling from Newcastle Mahatma Gandhi once said: “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. These, I believe, are very wise words from which we can still learn. Most people know what is right and what is wrong, but in the hurry of a hectic everyday life, we tend to relax our morality and when in Rome do as the Romans do. For instance, we have all heard dozens of people preach on inner glory being most important, and still we are often declined to meet people with prejudices based on their looks
