This WhatsApp is a window, through which, upon rolling up the blind,
we greet each other saying, "Good morning."

(Morning is indeed blissfully good; it is a package of divine blessings:
health, wealth, sunshine, a smiling weather, a friendly and longing
blue sky--all reaching out for hopes, whispering best wishes.)

the dancing stars ... in their dreams of happier tomorrows.

find, for your aims to move far ahead, for your ideals to become
realities, for your dreams to come true.
This screen of our cell phone is a window, and each of us have full
freedom to keep it closed or leave it open.

Now, from my widely open window, I'm waving to you, "Have a bright
