-- Kind Regards, R. Elavarasan +919790929432 © BE careful in dealing with a man who cares nothing for sensual pleasures, nothing for comfort or praise or promotion, but is simply determined to do what he believes to be right. He is a dangerous and uncomfortable enemy, because his body, which you can always conquer , gives you so little purchase over his soul.
