Before you misquote me, let me put down the disclaimer in black and white.  Disclaimer: It is not I, but a forwarded  message that says so. Well, to continue, who is to be the supposed  vanquisher?

ICN WORLD

By: C.P. Singh, Editor-ICN Group Exposure of aspects and being, is our life’s ride, Be it physical, ethical, natural or even- wide.
