My E-Mail account has more than 1000 mails in the inbox all accumulated from the past and the present went unseen. Best part about having Gmail account is that it provides us with so much space that we loose track of what we have. So today i decided lets go back in time and do some recycle work 
.
Reading all the old mails brought out some good and some bad memories. Among them I found this mail which had these sayings from one of the best ingenious minds ever lived in Indian history – Chanakya
He was considered to be a great successful teacher in the field of economics and political science of his time.
Below I am sharing some of his great quotes -
