Getting Word of Mouth Work For You-Free,Fast and Massive Publicity

In my early childhood I used to live in Thali- a small village in Hoshiarpur, Punjab. The village was so small that you could count number of people living there. Everybody knew everybody.

Run Or Else You Would Be Washed Away

About 15 years back when I had just entered the medical school for my graduation, I met this guy named Kabir who was three years senior to me.

It was a process of formal introduction. The way it was done amounted to ragging but it was kind of fun after you get used to and get over the initial tide of fear.
