Ex Indian President Dr. Abdul Kalam Says: . "When I was a kid, my Mom cooked food for us. . . One night in particular when she had made dinner after a long hard day's work, Mom placed a plate of 'subzi' and extremely burnt roti in front of my Dad. . I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt roti. But Dad just ate his roti and asked me how was my day at school. . I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to Dad for the burnt roti. . And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burnt roti." Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy, good night & I asked him if he really liked his roti burnt. . He wrapped me in his arms & said: . "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she was really tired. . And besides... A burnt roti never hurts anyone but HARSH WORDS DO!"
