Some scientists poke needles at our bubbles of happiness. Yes, at least they did for me. I was touting my gray hair as a sign of wisdom for the last 3 to 4 years. But now, some researchers from UK and Germany have 'discovered' the 'real' reason for this graying, thus exposing my 'wisdom'!

They say "when everything is going fine, nothing goes wrong". Similarly, when we face ‘failure’ in life, everything seems to be going wrong.
