Things so simple yet true ...... Murphy's Law

Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.

If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.

The attention span of a computer is only as long as it electrical cord.

An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

Any given program, when running, is obsolete.

Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book or even what book.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.

The more cordial the buyer's secretary, the greater the odds that the competition already has the order.

Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.

All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.

Any instrument when dropped will roll into the least accessible corner.

Any simple theory will be worded in the most complicated way.

Long for you Forever...

Beautiful eyes, beautiful face,
I'm shy to talk to you.
You're the eagle I must watch
No matter what I do.
You're the beauty, wild and free,
The mistress of my eyes,
Rolling through exultant air,
Alone in pristine skies.

I would take you for my own
Could I but have your wings,
Could I but go where night begins
And frozen sunlight sings.

Could I but have you for my love,
How might we fly together!
But I must watch you from below
And long for you forever.
But I must be the one below
And long for you forever.

Love.....

"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] from the movie, Meet Joe Black (1998)

Speech given by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis.

Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It's ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, hang out with friends, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.

"Don't be serious, be sincere."
