          There is no doubt that social ills exist in
         Indian society, just like they do in any other
         society. As much as we need to focus on

                                              “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you
                                              want to give, but cannot. All the unspent love gathers up
                                              in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and
                                              in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no
                                              place to go.” – Jamie Anderson


                                              Psychologists believe writing about grief can reduce pain.
                                              Research has found that putting down one’s thoughts about
                                              worries and concerns can help those looking for ways to cope
                                              with their grief.

                                              it’s easy, less stressful and all one needs is a pen, paper,
