Dear Rahul
I read an article on balanced diet. It touched me deeply. Balanced life is something where you choose a middle path. You should never get inclined towards a particular area whether it may be related to spiritualism or materialism. If we choose a balanced method, we remain in touch with everything. We can look upon our health, family as well as society.
I would try to lead a similar life which would be balanced and I hope you will also think on this. It is the best way to live a happy and successful life.
