Health is wealth! We have heard this many a times
but never tried to understand the hidden meaning behind it. Being able to hear,
talk, walk, smell, and hear are certainly a blessing that we usually take for
granted. Most of us can perform our daily chores easily, while there are many
who simply can’t do so. There are many people in this world who desire to stand
and take a step, and there are people who desire to see the world and their
loved ones once.
