The world has both positive and negative characters and invariably we face the negatives much more than the positive ones. But just like a coin has two faces it is true that positive people and positivity surrounds us everywhere. The existence of mankind is because of the balance which is being created by both these forces. Talking of positive people, they always give us in terms of materialistic things, emotional quotient, or may be social service. But when this giving becomes the way of life and it is done irrespective of the social strata, and is done as per the capacity of the individual it becomes – Generosity. That is why people call – Mr. Sandeep Bacche the man who is “Millionaire at Heart”.
