Group Health Insurance Scheme : Not compulsory but necessary
Day to day life is being complicated this time. Man made rules and regulations for social life are gradually being discarded by nature. Now trust is like myths. Death after birth is the only dominated truth in this world. Every relationship is also going to be proved fake. Because every one in this world is fighting with himself to survive. Irrespective of money, power, network all have to surrender before death. Now a days the YAAMARAJ, the so called God of Death has left everything upon human being.
