“Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists of not exceeding that limit” - Elbert Hubbard

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did'nt do than by the things you did.

I wish somebody had told me this when I was 6.

When Tendulkar is playing well, he puts a smile on a billion faces. Suddenly, people everywhere seem to be more accommodating and friendly, and even the cashier at the bank serves you with a smile!

I should go to that cashier soon. :-D :-)

Life is a mystery, you think life is good & u have something new to face the very next moment!

Never been more true than in these few days...

C's dependence on 0

One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs :P

:P

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Sounds about right. :-)

♫ If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. -- Albert Einstein

Sigh. So true. But "kalyug" is such that even this much is a blessing. Wishing for more..

Never fear shadows.... that always means there is a light shining somewhere.

Life is… Leaving the house in the morning, dressed in clothes that you bought on credit card for work, driving through the traffic in a car that you are still paying for, putting in fuel that you cannot afford, in order to get to the job that you hate but need so badly, so that you can pay for the clothes, car, fuel and the house that you leave empty the whole day, in order to live in it!

Hmm.. wish we can make life more than just that.. maybe not now.. maybe later.. but sometime.. never say never!

Conference: The confusion of one man multiplied by the number present.

Ah :-)

Perfumed happiness

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

I guess thats typical of sadness too. In fact, come to think of it, possibly perfume's behaviour is typical of all things we do. And hence, the saying, "As you do, so will you reap". Makes sense now, eh?

Eyes of the beholder

We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.

Hear ye, hear ye!

Bad English masquerading as great emotion :(

Once all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella. Thats Confidence.

Excuse me. (clearing throat)
"On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella"
Thats NOT confidence. It shows that other people have NO confidence.

"One boy came with an umbrella". That IS confidence.

I am sure you see the difference, but people write things in English without thinking. They never even realize what they are themselves saying.

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

I guess its meant to imply that even if you are in pain, you can choose not to suffer? Really, does it work like that??

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and still it wont shorten the life of the candle.

Expecting the world to treat U fairly because U are a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian

Today's fortune: It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious ;-)

Please do not smoke in public. Suicide may arguably be your personal choice but homicide can not be condoned.

In great affairs men show themselves as they wish to be seen; in small things they show themselves as they are.
- Nicholas Chamfort

Life is a mystery, you think life is good & u have something new to face the very next moment!

I can vouch for that!

Love is a 1-way street that needs a 2-way handshake :-|

♫ "A dream is not what you see when you sleep... a dream is something that doesn't let you sleep''
-- APJ Abdul Kalam

I am tired of being what you want me to be, feeling so faithless lost under the surface, don't know what you're expecting of me

Be yourself. I am sure its gonna be just fine.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are sure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

--Bertrand Russell

I guess the above line should make me happy right now coz it says I am intelligent, but I just don't see it.. :-(

Edit: The above statement doesn't really say that I am intelligent, all it really says is that I am not stupid.. well I am kinda doubting that much too.. :-(

If you want to relax, you really have to work for it.

Amen to that, I say.

Chat status messages are amusing

I find most people putting up interesting chat status messages on their chat messengers. Often I feel like commenting on it but then again I think better not to. So I intend to compile all such amusing ones here, to collate them, add maybe also add my 2 cents to it. Cheers! No offense meant please!
