Proud of Myself

Posted on November 6, 2018April 7, 2019 by Sushma

As everybody knows, mid term elections this year are very important. I am not an ardent follower of politics, but I do have my opinions and I follow the news carefully. After all what happens today affects not just me or my family now, but it will affect my kids in the future as well….
