With this message in the thick of things, Rohan have been hitting AISAM brilliant backhand, forehand and powerful line of the body serves to testify, one to consider.

This is the beginning of an epic saga of two men, one in the baseline, and the other on the network, waiting to pounce on any loose back with absolute cruelty, the breath of the determination to fill their nostrils, as the sweat of perseverance burning passion for the sport in their hearts, and thus put their hearts in the rackets, serving aces and becomes overwhelming.

Children of War

HUMAN FOR PEACE

Peace a dream?

Worldwide, people complain that there is no peace in your life. People are looking for peace, temples, churches, prayer, worship and much more.

If you attend a Christian church, the priest heard you want, raising his hands "peace with you" and the congregation replies: "With you, too."

They also exchange with each other "a sign of peace" through the hands of play. The Mass ends with a blessing by the priest, "go home to peace, the Mass is ended.

This explains that peace is the overriding theme here. People have come to mass with the hope of peace of the church. But they can not.

Peace is not transferable.

This is a bad situation described above. For peace can not be transferred from one to another. The husband can not transfer your peace to the wife. Parents can not transfer your peace to their children. What the priest may transfer between the congregation is not only his desire and peace. So people only receive a pseudo relief.

The source of rest.

The source of peace is built around the world. Peace or peace is not an individual state. Peace requires an inner growth in people. They need to get an ability to control your mind. It is a fact that peace is the original state of the people, but is destroyed by your mind. The restless mind is only destroying the natural state of people.

People can not buy peace of mind with money

People could do anything with his power and money, except peace. People can not buy or trade the richness of the peace. Peace is the only wealth that can not be traded or exchanged. This is the treasure that God has with him. The key is given to the people themselves. But they are ignorant of it. They make prayer, worship, reading the sacred texts, or listen to music for peace.
