A big city is a big ocean; the one who doesn’t know how to swim finds himself at its bottom!

When there is an ostentatious cock crowing all over the place, what is the use of killing one insignificant chick?

Life and death; there is no bridge between the two; they are stuck to each other! Death is only a step away from us, no more, only one step!
