This is my 150th article. On this auspicious occasion, I’ll tell you the legendary story of a great Kung-Fu master!

When I was a kid, I saw the movie, “Enter the Dragon”. I became an instant fan of Bruce Lee.

To spread awareness about my daily articles, I recently joined facebook. Also driven by one more reason- I wanted to socialize.
