KR Sir, even if you don’t do anything even then one will grow. [image: 🌻]Sometimes, you just need to distance yourself from people. If they care, they'll notice. If they don't, you know where you stand with them. [image: 🌻]*A psychological study found that people who are generally 'too nice' are also the ones to get hurt the most.* KR: How cleverly mind presumes that one is good but only others are not? Duryodhana thinks that all are bad.
