I welcome the opportunity, the Group Family of the Heart, is giving me to speak here tonight.  

As you know this world has become a very small place, global village, because of today's technology, which offers people, children, teenagers, adults, to interact with each other without even knowing each other, and still they have arms open for each other. 

It is my honest belief that people in the world have no business fighting, whether for religion, or politics or commerce. But most particularly I believe that people of the sub-continent have absolutely no reason to be enemies. They have all the reason to be friends. I like to think that we should set aside our differences, which are NOT caused by us in the first place, anyway, and that we should think of us, each others,  as one community which wishes to live in peace, no matter where in the world this community is. 

Thank you for allowing me to talk to you.
