An interesting story:

"Photographer Kulwant Roy shot a picture in 1939 of Mahatma Gandhi meeting Mohammad Ali Jinnah, who would go on to become the first leader of Pakistan. Apparently shot for the Topical Press Agency, the photo ended up in the Hulton Archive, which is now owned by Getty Images. Roy died years ago, and his name was never connected to this historic photograph.

Until now. A family friend began sorting through Roy's files and found the image. "

An old Hasidic story says we should wear a coat with two pockets in order to receive God's message. In one pocket, the message is: "You are nothing but one of billions of grains of sand in the universe." In the other, the message is: "I made the universe just for you."
