MUMBAI: Gold prices soared further to attain yet another historic high at the domestic bullion market here today on hectic stockists and investment-driven buying fuelled by global bullishness.

Those who have power to change things don't bother to;and those who bother don't have the power to do so .................but I think It is a very thin line that divides the two and I am walking on that.Well is pure human nature to think that "I am the best and my ideas unquestionable"...it is human EGO and sometimes it is very important for survival of the fittest and too much of it may attract trouble.Well here you decide where do I stand.I say what I feel.
