Life is a journey. It has its own obstacles and problems. It is not like a crystal stair. In this journey we come across a lot of memories.When we look at our life,we can see a blank page and when we look back we get a series of memories. Sometimes these memories come to our life to make our eyes wet. It may be the tears of sorrows or it may be the tears of joy. Actually these memories lead us to continue the journey of our life. If you are nervous about something,then close your eyes and fill the mind with beautiful memories. If you feel loneliness,then close your eyes and recollect the past memories. The memories,the love and affection of our parents,friendly moments with our teachers, leisure time with our friends, journeys with our family, our foolishness etc....help us to forget our sorrows. Life is too short. We can't predict it's future and never get back the gone days. So try to be happy at all time. Hide your tears from others make a smile on your

Hassan, the finest man with unconditional love and sacrifice, is one of the vibrant characters from the mind of a great writer, A J Cronin. Hassan is a very ugly, native sea man with short legs and disproportionate head. He is an Indian Serang and he superintends the crew of lascars. Sometimes he becomes the butt of other's ridicule. But he does not react against this. He keeps his silence and patience at all time. He is a balanced man in his life. Neither ridicules nor cyclones can change his character. He is rock solid and fit as a fiddle. At the time of the spreading of the contagion, Hassan stands with Cronin to counter it. He spent his whole life to actively render selfless service. He has long forty years of experience in the sea including last fifteen years in the same ship, Ranaganji. He has nothing on the shore, neither kith nor kin. He has no greed towards money, fame, ego and selfishness. No possessions have any room in his mind.  He tries to insulate himself f
