on Aug 7, 2009Thank you for yet another wondrous triumph-over-tragedy story which touched a deep emotional chord especially because it stresses the importance of building and nurturing relationships. Kudos also to the power of collaboration which has helped Mr. Vikram Bakshi to emerge as a true "victor of circumstance" with a Midas Touch! Here's wishing many, many more laurels to this great path creator! As Viktor E Frankl has observed in 'Man's Search For Meaning' : "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms, the ability to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Thanks and regards, Geetha
