Meaning Quote by Vijay Tendulkar
““good-bad,right-wrong,once you tag things like that,you lose the ability to see the complete truth… A murderer can also be a loving father. Don't tag things. Words are insufficient to describe the picture in totality. Try not to get trapped in the dictionary meaning of words.””
