I have a saint in me who controls the rest of them. I have a god in me , who loves to touch lives . All of them share the same space presenting themselves in a myriad of forms.

You too are a multi- coloured soul, Celebrate your uniqueness, Celebrate yourself!                              - (c) Vasanthi
