   Good one… No one thinks about the candles now a day.

   Once I had written a poem about a candle and a cake, on July 18th, 2008.

   This one is nice. Those who spread light to others, risk losing something for themselves. They say Swami Vivekananda died in his 30s because he stretched himself so much, so fast, only to help others…
