Back in 2010, when i was fiddling around with Blogger, i used to have a separate blog with the aforementioned name, where i simply stored my curated list of quotes.
“Travelling leaves you speechless, then turns you in a storyteller.”
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
“Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine”
*
“The concept of karma is one of the favourite whipping posts of the losers in the world.”
*
“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”
*
“Anni, amori e bicchieri di vino, nun se contano mai.”
Years, lovers and glasses of wine; these things must not be counted.
*
“Every statue was once a rock. If we do not know when to stop sculpting, it will become a rock again.”
*
“You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your deep, driving desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny." - Upanishads
*
"The greatest argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter." -Winston Churchill
*
“Life is but the shipwreck of our plans.”
*
“Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute.”
*
“Travel is fatal to prejudice bigotry and narrow-mindedness.”
*
“Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.”
*
“One of the lessons you can learn from history is that history can sometimes teach you the wrong lessons.”
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss People.”
“Cleanliness in a crow; honesty in a gambler; mildness in a serpent; women satisfied with love; vigor in a eunuch; truth in a drunkard; friendship in a king; decency in a second-rate politician —whoever heard of these things?”
''लेखनी पुस्तकी नारी परहस्तगता गता''
'दर्शने द्विगुणं स्वादु परिवेषे चतुर्गुणम्।
सहभोजे चाष्टगुणमित्येतन्मनुरब्रवीत्॥
घटं भिन्द्यात् पटं छिन्द्यात् कुर्याद्रासभरोहणम्|
येन केन प्रकारेण प्रसिद्ध: पुरुषो भवेत्||
By breaking their utensils, by tearing their own clothes or by riding a donkey into town; some people would attain fame, by whatever means necessary, no matter the cost.
जीता है नित हांफ हाफ कर।
रखता है अनुराग अलौकिक,
वह भी अपनी मातृ भूमि पर।।
ध्रुववासी जो हिम में हम में ,
जी लेता है कांप कांप कर ।
वह भी अपनी मातृ भूमि पर,
कर देता है प्राण निछावार।।
नृपस्य चित्तं, कृपणस्य वित्तम; मनोरथाः दुर्जनमानवानाम्।
त्रिया चरित्रं, पुरुषस्य भाग्यम; देवो न जानाति कुतो मनुष्यः।।
राजा का चित्त, कंजूस का धन, दुर्जनों का मनोरथ, पुरुष का भाग्य और स्त्रियों का चरित्र देवता तक नहीं जान पाते तो मनुष्यों की तो बात ही क्या है?'

तुम हो हे प्रिय बन्धु स्वर्ग सी,
सुखद सकल विभवों की आकर।
धरा शिरोमणि मातृ भूमि में,
धन्य हुए हो जीवन पाकर ।।
तुम जिनका जल अन्न ग्रहण कर ,
बडे़ हए लेकर जिसकी रज।
तन रहते कैसे तज दोगे,
उसकों हे वीरो के वंशज।।
समर शेष है, नहीं पाप का भागी केवल व्याघ्र,
जो तटस्थ हैं, समय लिखेगा उनका भी अपराध।
Roses are red, Violets are blue,
That's what they say,But it just isn't true;
Because Roses are red, And Apples are too,
but Violets are violet, not fucking blue.
Roses are red, but Greenland's not green,
and a pinkie's not pink, So what does it mean?
To call something blue when it's not, we defile it,
But hey, what the hell, it's hard to rhyme violet.

"He who thinks of Himachal though he should not behold him is greater than he who performs all worship in Kashi (Benares).”
“In a hundred ages of the gods,
I cannot tell thee of the glories of Himachal;
As the dew is dried by the morning sun,
So are the sins of man at the sight of Himachal.” -The Skanda Purana
