"You should let yourself be carried away, like the clouds in the sky. You shouldn’t resist. God exists in your destiny just as much as he does in these mountains and in that lake. It is very difficult to understand this, because man is moving further and further away from Nature, and also from himself."

                                                             
                                                                                                                - Herman Hesse

Mirza Ghalib

Aye bure waqt zara adab se pesh aa
Kyonki waqt nahi lagta waqt badalne mein

Haathon ke lakeeron pe mat ja ae Ghalib
Naseeb unke bhi hote hain jinke haath nahi hote.

Mohabbat mein nahi hai fark jeene aur marne ka
Usi ko dekh kar jeete hain jis kafir pe dum nikle

Martin Luther King Jr.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is,
'What are you doing for others?'"

"There's a kind of luck that's not much more than being in the right place at the right time, a kind of inspiration that's not much more than doing the right thing in the right way, and both only really happen to you when you empty your heart of ambition, purpose and plan; when you give yourself, completely, to the golden, fate-filled moment."

Only read maybe a third of the book so far. Quite a few interesting thoughts penned down very artistically but this one is just so worth mentioning.

This is a special place and I guess every time I am away from this blog for a while, it just helps me realize how special.

Last year was a tough one!
Sometimes we're glad a tough year is over but sometimes that's just not the case.

Hmm.. I'm fascinated by the different kinds of people I meet and know. And I'm amazed at yet how similar we all are.
There is a lot to be embraced.

I might not be making much sense, but we don't always have to :)

"When the truth is told, you could get what you want or you could just get old." from Vienna waits for you. Never stop liking this song but I just noticed these lines! So true!

And there's so much to say yet nothing to say.
