Recently, I helped one of my friend Soumabha to overcome his habit of using bad languages. Whenever he said any bad language, I asked him to pinch himself. After pinching himself on a daily basis, he got tired of the pain and stopped using bad languages. Quite a good job, right? I was very happy.

Yours lovingly,
