Profit greed on drug sales

Quote from Swami Vivekananda

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai

Explaining the meaning of ‘Association’, he said:

“The rain drop from the sky: if it is caught in hands, it is pure enough for drinking. 
If it falls in a gutter, its value drops so much that it can’t be used even for washing the feet. 
If it falls on hot surface, it perishes. If it falls on lotus leaf, it shines like a pearl and finally,
 if it falls on oyster, it becomes a pearl. 
The drop is same, but its existence & worth depend on with whom it associates.”

Always be associated with people who are good at heart. Send this to all people with a beautiful heart.

The Blue Danube is the common English title of An der schönen blauen Donau, Op. 314 (German for "By the Beautiful Blue Danube"), a waltz by the Austrian composer Johann Strauss II, composed in 1866. Originally performed in February, 1867[1][2] at a concert of the Wiener Männergesangsverein (Vienna Men's Choral Association),[2] it has been one of the most consistently popular pieces of music in the classical repertoire. Its initial performance was considered only a mild success,[1]however, and Strauss is reputed to have said, "The devil take the waltz, my only regret is for the coda—I wish that had been a success!"[2]
After the original music was written, the words were added by the Choral Association's poet, Joseph Weyl.[1][3] Strauss later added more music, and Weyl needed to change some of the words.[4] Strauss adapted it into a purely orchestral version for the 1867 Paris World's Fair, and it became a great success in this form.[1] The instrumental version is by far the most commonly performed today. An alternate text was written by Franz von Gernerth (de), "Donau so blau" (Danube so blue). "The Blue Danube" premiered in the United States in its instrumental version on 1 July 1867 in New York, and in Great Britain in its choral version on 21 September 1867 in London at the promenade concerts at Covent Garden.[citation needed]
When Strauss's stepdaughter, Alice von Meyszner-Strauss, asked the composer Johannes Brahms to sign her autograph-fan, he wrote down the first bars of The Blue Danube, but adding "Leider nicht von Johannes Brahms" ("Alas! not by Johannes Brahms").[2][5]
