We start our lives watching and listening to sounds made by the world around us.

Vishnu and Naruda were sitting in deep conversation and Naruda asked “What is time Lord Vishnu?” Vishnu replied “Why don’t you cross the river and find out?” So Naruda went down to the river and swam to the other side, climbed up the bank and proceeded to the village where he stopped at the first […]
