Although it may feel good to be living the independent life no man is an island! In today’s world where members of a family live in the same house but in their own worlds, each engaging to their own activities, watching their own TVs and reaching out to their circles with personal phones and their computers. However, there is oneness of purpose and mutual support. The word ‘insurance’ in our society is sprinting far ahead of itself with a business growth. The insurance industry is catching people’s imagination; all of it has to do with getting new products and better service.
