What makes life mysterious is that the script of the very next scene is hidden from us. In retrospect, when we look back and observe the path, we followed, from one milestone to the next. From one circumstance to an entirely different one, the narrative appears perfectly logical.

All of us, the actors and actresses in this beautiful film called life, directed by God himself, need to become directors, actresses and actors. Our only responsibility is to become the best instrument to realize the vision of the Director.

Best of Luck & God Bless.
