    So true Pushpavalli. If we set out to please everyone, we will only fall between two horses. In any case, even if we really try, people love finding fault !

    Reminded of the Aesop Fable where this Greek Gentleman has two wives, one old one young. The older wife plucks out all his dark hair so that he will not look like her son . The younger wife plucks out all his white hair, so that he does not look like her father. Finally the Gentleman stands with a shiny bald head , pleasing no one , least of all himself !
