There are many shapes in this world used for many purposes but the specific ones are quite more in number. The architectural design of life is a very wonderful mental picture of the different kinds of shapes that is made but it is saddening that these days, you find lives that looks formless. Recounting from the day of our primary education, we know shapes to be drawings of many editable sides and angles (square, cube, cuboid, triangle, prism) and each with its uniqueness.

This became rampant that greed set in. T his continued quiet ly for a long time before this great message – The message for creations. I was sitting right in my office on a cold Wednesday morning .
