The fastest traveler is the human mind. In a fraction of a second it can reach moon, mars or much beyond and come back. In a day we think about numerous thoughts. Some are interesting and worth sharing with others.
Starting this new series and naming it “Mental Potpourri”. I hope the readers will enjoy reading these thoughts. These thoughts may trigger a chain reaction triggering new thoughts.
