Elevator indicators

The indicator of our elevator goes off just before the lift actually opens. Considering the seeming reluctance with which the doors open, there is ages between the indicator light switching off and the doors opening. So, if you are waiting on a floor and someone enters the scene just after the indicator lights go off, you would just look to them like an ignoramus who cant press a button, or better yet, a person who can summon lifts without even pressing a button!

Your Hope floats, and you are Grounded in reality. Then why are reals called floating values?

You: Oh, what is the probability of that happening!
Murphy: Well, is it something that would affect you adversely if it happened? If so, then 100%

What are those fleeting moments that we wish we could hold on to? A sudden breeze, a certain light, seems to transport us to a till-now forgotten, long ago, happy moment. Feels like a bubble of time, makes us wish we could live in it some more.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life....All that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about....

You have to take a deep breath in. But you can’t hold onto it. You have to let go (of the breath) to enjoy the fresh air. In life, it is the same thing. Letting go is important.

What do you mean, "in life, it is the same thing?". Was the previous statement also not about life? Do you mean to imply that breathing is not a part of life? :-|

So, now we have to even package a virtue like a vice, in order to sell it??

Friends are the beings that are dear, mean one well and offer protection. Enemies on the other hand are the opposite of this; they are not dear, wish to cause one harm and to see one’s demise, suffering, loss and unhappiness. http://www.maithri.com/articles_new/Buddhist_approach_to_friendship.html


Something to remember.

"The difference between people who exercise initiative and those who don't is literally the difference between night and day. I'm not talking about a 25 to 50 percent difference in effectiveness; I'm talking about a 5000-plus percent difference, particularly if they are smart, aware, and sensitive to others."

- Stephen R. Covey

The truth is everyone's going to hurt you. You just have to find the ones worth suffering for.

Missed my cell in mess. What a mess! Got message that it is safe, it has not been missed from the mess. Prashima and Chavan are my Messiahs!

Note the usage of the suffix/word "mess" :P

never expect anything from those who never bother to fulfill them ~\cite{chavan '10}
seek those who tend to seek you ~\cite{divya '00}
never turn away those who seek refuge in you ~\cite{me '10}

Anyone who makes an absolute statement is a fool.

"Believe you can, believe you can't; either way you're right." -Henry Ford

Sometimes I just feel like running away.... just to see who would follow, just to see
who really cares, or if anyone cares at all....

Ah, but why should someone else care whether we ran away or not. It just seems weak to have such expectations, no?

"Why is it that when you have to meet a target, your inclination towards work decreases??? "

Why is it that people feed such negative thoughts to others constantly, so that even those who never felt like this before, start feeling it. :-/

Laughing Faces Do Not Mean That There Is Absence Of Sorrow! It Just Means That They Have The Ability To Deal With It. :)

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Just take the first step."

The problem with life is that you cannot take a distributed snapshot to which you can roll-back later...

When you look for the good in others, you discover the best in yourself :-)

♫ Happy Holi..... May this Holi be bright as the colors that splash on you!

Aur koi option hai kya?!

The question is not whether the glass is half full or half empty, the question is who the hell has bought an extra large glass.

Teachers do fail But learners never fail.

That is by definition, not by characteristic :-)

Its never wat it is... it is always wat it is made out to be!

y we do run to help our best friend even after a bitter quarrel? y we do feel pleasure in hurting by the one we luv? y r we consoled by the one who made us cry? y do we love our loved one even when they hate us? Bcoz in life some defeats are always sweeter than victory.

Thats the kind of sentimental sap that I do not want to buy, but grudgingly admit to, anyway.

Atlas Shrugged (in a nutshell)

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

As you sow, so do you reap.

It is human tendency to expect good things in return. Without incentive, we wont indulge in good deeds, is it? We need some "promising" verses (like the hindi ones above) or some "threatening dire consequences" proverb (like the english one above) to motivate us to do the right thing.

Well, its not as bad as it sounds. Whatever works, as they say. Anyway, now the times seem to be such that even if the above incentives work, thats a big achievement in itself.

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

If at first you don't succeed? Destroy all evidence that you ever tried.. ;)

Well-timed silence has more eloquence than speech.

♫ It is not about the good cards you get, it is about how well you play your bad cards.

Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence.

♫ Life Is Emotion Management Not Intelligence Optimization.

"There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way." — Christopher Morley

Do not speak unless you can improve the silence

What other people think of you is none of your business.

Pessimism

Get happiness out of what you do or you may never know what happiness is.

Optimism

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
