01/13/2008: "Traditional goals make happier people"

"I am envious of the complete contentment that parents seem to have when they are around their young children," Dhawan says. "Nothing else matters. All the frivolous things that seem to preoccupy us, like looks, money and power, seem to take their rightful place in the backseat."
