Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
- Pink Floyd :)

Floyd always does a great job of reminding what life is all about. This time it points to Heraclitus' - "Nothing endures but change"
Interestingly, he also said: "Much learning does not teach understanding"

And just because I am talking about understanding, a code for life should be Arjun's story, when he said: "Sir, at this point of time only the eye of the bird is visible to me"

Peepli Live

"Rajneeti mein matbhed ho sakta hai lekin dushmani nahi"... quite an insight from Naseeruddin Shah in Peepli Live.
That's just rajneeti, this movie takes on the media more than politics. A very intelligently made movie that not only points to the right issues but also does it in an entirely entertaining way. I would heartily welcome this kind of cinema, but only if it can be quality work.

The irony is such that as long as you stay strong, people around pull you down but the day you turn weak, the same people offer to help.

Salinger

People should write a will about how they wish their intellectual property to be treated. I do not like the fact that someone who protected the story of his life and a number of his works from the world is now going to be made public.

Man the maker of his destiny

Everything happens for a reason cannot be true. But it's best to find a reason for everything that happens.

And here's my recent favorite read:
Man the maker of his destiny

It is absolutely fine to not be something, but it is horrible to not be something you want to be.

Amar Prem

Kuch reet jagat ki aisi hai
Har ek subah ki shaam hui
Tu kaun hai tera naam ha kya
Sita bhi yahan badnam hui
Phir kyon sansar ki baaton se
Bheeg gaye tere naina

Love these lines from the Amar Prem song.
