“Taking a page out of Vinayak’s blog (literally), this is just to help me keep track of some of the best quotes that I come across while I trawl through life.
To start off:
“To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.” William Blake
“Revolution is not a dinner party, not an essay, nor a painting, nor a piece of embroidery; it cannot be advanced softly, gradually, carefully, considerately, respectfully, politely, plainly and modestly.”
“Where man in all his truest glory lives,
And nature’s face is exquisitely sweet;
For those fair climes I heave impatient sigh,
There let me live and there let me die.” -Michael Madhusudan Dutt
“Upon seeing the shadow of a pigeon, one must resist the urge to look up” -Confucius
“Aisa hai…… ki kaisa hai?” -Unknown
“Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity, and so we ask ourselves..will our actions echo across the centuries, will strangers hear our names long after we are gone and wonder ..who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved.” – Unknown
“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love – well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.”- William Parrish in Meet Joe Black
“Frankly my dear, fuck off.”- Unknown.
Being born to a bengali parentage i develop a thought in my heart to know what it actualy takes and means to be called as bengali.
Being far from my motherland i sigh and wish from her to teach me thy eternal truth.

Take me into thee O Mother and let me have the freedom to loose my all.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
Some are wise, some are otherwise.
I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You’re a plague and we are the cure.
And just to show that I am classy too…andknow Poetry…:
Of when on my couch I lie,
in vacant or in pensive mood,
it flashes upon the inward eye
that is the bliss of solitude
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.
Water water everywhere
And all the boards did shrink
Water water everywhere
Nor any drop to drink
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
Time is no healer,
the patient is no longer there….

Human Beings are not horribly over populating the earth. Prove this to yourself by taking a small air plane ride across the US and you’ll see all the open land we have.
