  • What I believe in

     

    Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good... Everyone has his own idea of good and evil, and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.

    What Others say

     

    There’s more to Veena besides her calm outlook towards work. She’s an impatient gardener and adding more flowers to her garden brings her joy.
