This Is The Time

Yes! We are all human being first and then religion comes next. How many fanatics will understand this? Let us read a good story. It is about the superior wisdom of pigeons. In a temple, a number of pigeons lived happily on roof top. When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby.
