written on the tip cup at a coffee shop:

Thanks a latte!

… for drama & petty things. So kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly

Sameer: Aisi baat nahin hai, hum cake khane kaheen bhi jaa sakte hain..

Aaaaaaaakaaaaash!!

Kaisa ajab yeh safar hai,
socho to har ek hi be khabar hai….
Usko jana kidhar hai
jo waqt aye, jaane, kya dikhaye..

Sameer: She’s from Switzerland.. main sochta hoon ki agar main wahan chala jau.. to ek chotasa farm lekar shehar ki makhiya paalu…

Sameer: Haan haso haso.. arre tum se acha to woh truck driver tha jisne mujhe Bombay tak lift dee…
Akash: Tu kya kisi ki truck mein waapis aya?
Sameer: To tujhe kya lagta hai, main roz iss takeeye pe baith-ta hoon? Arre barah ghante truck main baith kar halat kharab ho gayee hai!

Pooja: Gehri dosti lagti hai..
Sameer: Haan ya yeh dosti gehri hai ya photo 3-D hai..

Subodh: Excuse me, main abhi aya.
Sameer: Shayad uske baathroom jane ka time aa gaya hai..

Just today added another gem to my collection, to be used for future good: The art of war by Sun Tzu.

I really liked the quote on the cover, which goes:

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle…..

Well said, Tzu, well said.

Because the things you are scared of are the most worth while!
- Mandy Moore from Chasing Liberty

Believing in yourself is an endless destination. Believing you have failed is the end of the journey.
