I too want to leave my will even if I failed to fulfil my dream of Zoland during my life time where all Zomis can live together as one big family with one aspiration, one hope that is; JUSTICE for Social, Economics, Political, Religion and LIBERTY of Thought, Expression, Faith and Equality of Status and of Opportunity and to promote among all Zomis Fraternity.
