My favourite Quotes


Regarding life, the wisest men of all ages have judged alike: it is worthless.

Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ‘Ego’.

                                                                                                - Friedrich Nietzsche

Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
                                                                    - Swami Vivekananda



I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.

You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.

                                                                          - Jean Paul Sartre



All art is quite useless. 

I have nothing to declare except my genius.
                                                                               - Oscar Wilde 



 History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.

 History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

 Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.

                                                                                   - Karl Marx
The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax

 Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school

 Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts
                                                            - Albert Einstein

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say.

Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar.

There is big difference in past and present  social values.  Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi.

The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions"                                                                                                                               - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
