Observations & Opinions

1. In every relationship the need to be happy will always mollify the need to know.
2. Without hope or the illusion of it suffering is inexcusably intolerable.
3. To love faultlessly one must believe in something with one’s whole heart.
4. You can die under the debris of your yesterdays. Or you can stand on top of it and see the distant horizons of tomorrow. It is a choice.
5. Trust is the greatest casualty of our times.
6. Solitude is like a bridge to the other side. Those who cross it either become saints or insane.
7. Your life, as you know it, is just a collection of memories you choose to remember over other equally real moments that you ignore.

9. The greatest tragedies of one’s life are, in spirit, of the same seed: the woman in your arms in not the woman in your heart.
10. Nothing is so innocently simple and natural as love. Yet nothing is as treacherous or mutilated in practice.
11. Marriage does not guarantee love. Nor religion faith. Institutions do not actuate emotions, they inspire rituals.

17. Regret is the emotion you experience for being less than who you are.
18. Most lives are a simple struggle between wanting to do and doing.

21. Emotional Blackmail: “You cannot not love me because that would upset me!”
22. I don’t think Time is Money. For I have a lot of the first and none of the latter. To console myself, I just compare me with those who have neither.
23. Hell is having enough awareness but not enough courage to act on it.
24. Life Demands. Death Acquiesces.
25. If you do not derive joy from doing what you do, do not do it. If your happiness costs another their rightfully earned moment of joy, don’t pursue that path either. Both are transgressions
26. on your soul.
27. Anyone can make a living. Only a rare few make a life.
28. In today’s world, it is not the nightmares but the dreams that destroy and eventually, kill people.
29. If you want to be happy, joyous and free, don’t go to a sage or guru. Just watch a child.

31. God is Man’s desperate need for an explanation.

39. Self pity fills the void that self-esteem leaves behind.
40. Those who say pain is necessary for growth won’t hesitate to hurt you.
41. People believe it is the lucky ones that are happy in life. I would say those who know how to be happy are the real lucky ones.
42. The greatest divide between men is not race, religion or color. It is in two simple words – “I want” and “I have to.”
43. Genius can be defined as an individual’s capacity to change the way we experience the world.
44. Some days the only sign that tells me I am alive is the sexual tension I feel when around beautiful women.
45. ‘I want’ is the reason of life. ‘I can’ is the essence.
46. Devil exists precisely because men believe in God.
47. I’m snatched milliseconds of sanity in an otherwise insane life.

52. There are no ‘thankless jobs’ in this world. Only jobs that we like and the ones we dislike.
53. Intelligence is our skill to understand ‘what is.’ Wisdom is the ability to know ‘why so.”
54. Every mirror in the world reflects our thoughts.
55. In life I will miss things that are not given to me. In death I will miss the things that were.
56. People who evolve as individuals in spite of everything are more capable of sustaining and enjoying their relationships. Stagnancy creates rift and indifference, which is the hallmark of almost
57. every other relationship we see.

61. Most lives are a simple struggle between wanting to do and doing.
62. I was born out of submission rather than from the throes of passion. Hence my infirm composition.
63. I’ve survived too many booby traps by now. Still when I see another I chase it like I’ve never been hurt before.

65. Everybody has a point of view. Some even have their own.

67. Set your standards high. It’s inspiring to fail with the mighty than win with the mice.
68. I am prone to believe in a man who speaks of independence than one who desires freedom.
69. In love we discover ourselves. Sometimes that can be rather unpleasant.
70. Peace is not the absence of conflict. It is the presence of a conducive environment for growth.

75. You are not bored when you are afraid, when you are angry, or when you love, lust or hate. You are not bored when you are frustrated, or desperate. Boredom is the antithesis of life. It
76. requires a numbness of nerves that posits death as its premise. Boredom is the sign that you are no longer, at least for the moment, alive.
77. Indulgence of our imagination, my dear. Always an indulgence of our imagination. That’s what sustains our lives. What else is hope, god, dreams or love… except imaginary friends we
78. present ourselves with – products of our fertile imagination.
