Hello. Would you like something hot or cold to go with your read today? Perhaps, I could interest you in some unknown facts?

As little kids, we were told that marks are all that matter and if you don’t score well, you won’t be able to survive in this cruel world. That, you will be considered dumb. That, you will have to live a mediocre life in the best possible scenario. And we were given examples of people next door who did not study and are struggling and suffering now.

Money Laundering: Most Infamous Scams in India

We've all heard the phrase, "Money is the root of all evil", well as far as history suggests, the original phrase goes in the Bible, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils."
