East Coast Snippets

Went to a scientific conference in US last week and picked up a snippet or two from here and there.....

1. "You can only go as far as your least strippy tyre."

2. "You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate."

3. Step one block out of your comfort zone and discover a world you didn't even imagine.

4. "Nose down, tail up"

5. Find your coffee shop, find your city.

6. "Learn what works by observing what doesn't work."

7. Move from the best to the most useful. - Will expand on this one one day.

8. Walk into the common man.

9. Never underestimate the value of people who care for you.

10. The search for the answer can be more rewarding than the answer itself.

11. "Relationship hysteresis" - nice phrase!

12. Don't spend your life twisting and turning trying to fill in pitholes left by others, make a gap that only you can fit!

13. If you smell pride, you know you are around a fool!

14. Don't fight with a person's pride. Pride is the enemy of it's own bearer.

15. Don't gain knowledge at the cost of losing curiosity. Hold on to that gaze and wonder!

Rainy day thoughts...

ये जो धीमे धीमे से दस्तक दे रहा है सावन,
तेरे प्यार की सलामी दे रहा होगा,

हमारे दिल में जो सेलाब है,
उसकी बनक तो अभी हवाओ को लगी ही नहीं।

Dichotomy of love

Pain.
My body writhes,
An undulating motion inside.
I lie on a bed of roses,
And the petals of silk hurt me.

A fever, a fury.
Rages a fire within.
All you see from outside
Is a trickle of water,
That melts from my icy exterior.
