Okay, so I finally got a topic for my first blog, no short stories, no comment on social issues ...a 'kaand' at kgp will be nice but still let me do what I hav learnt best at KGP...its got various names here...some call it 'chaapna', some prefer 'cheating'..though its old fashioned...I have been into quotations quite a lot recently, its amazing how one or two lines said by someone can be remembered forever...so my first blog would be an attempt to blatantly put down a few quotations I find worth 'chaapna'....
1.This one's too good and amazingly holds true now much more than ever...creativity is a highly overrated word according to me...
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources"
Albert Einstein
2.The next one is on a highly philosophical subject...atheism.. let me reserve my opinion here, though its true that like every one else I too fold my hands in temples at statues...and dont ask myself "WHY?"
""I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say that one is an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or agnostic. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect that he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time."
Issac Asimov
If you are still reading this, thank you for your patience, and now let me introduce you to my latest favourite...Woody Allen...most sites on quotations contain his words...and the guy as I later found out is a legend...just watch the movie Matchpoint n your opinion about luck could change...by the way...here's one from the movie for those who believe in the old one...'Success is 99.9% inspi...blah blah...
3. "The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.
Watch the movie...
4. Another one of Woody Allen's classics...though it makes little sense...it makes nice reading...from his movie Annie Hall...dont watch it...its too boring!
"I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable"
Well,if u feel I should stop blogging, I am sure I'll learn with experience...n here's what someone called Franklin Jones said about experience...
5."Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again"
Creativity, God, Luck, Experience...what say thou????
