The unnoticed 200...

24 February 2010 was a landmark date in history of cricket. The most famous man of modern day cricket (Bradman was from a prior generation) had entered his name in the annals of history by notching up 200 runs in an ODI. Tributes and praises flowed like a flooded river on a rainy day. A few days later, something else happened too. Something that started out on 19 January 2007 and finally reached a similar numerical mark on the 9 March 2010. So while no one will quote that it took 1145 days to get there and while it didn’t garner so much attention, here it is anyways...

The 15 that bring me to my 200^th quote:

A little fantasy is necessary for the sanity within reality. The trick is to know where to draw the line.

Edison is known less for the 2000 failed experiments with the light bulb than he is for the 1800+ patents he filed. Bottom-line is, it is ok to fail only if you eventually succeed.

Education doesn't teach us how to deal with the harsh realities of life. When faced with these, it teaches us that we ourselves are to be blamed.

It is never the end of the world, except unless it is actually the end of the world.

I've got all the trappings of a genius, except maybe the intellect.

Just because it has been all bad so far, do you think everything's gonna turn round and become positive? What do you think life is? An integer?

My pet peeve about smart-phones is that they fool some of their users into believing that having one makes them smarter.

Some describe a lifetime in a sentence. Others describe lifetime as a sentence. I wish to do neither.

The colour of an object is the one which the object rejects and reflects out. Even in nature you are best known by what you don't do.

The necessary conditions for saving the earth are that the process is either fashionable or economically profitable to do so.

What we are, is the sum total of all the hurts we've received.

When the grapes are sour, get into the vinegar business!

You cannot change the world. You can only change the world.

10 in 5 months...

Blessed are those who only see one side of the truth. It leaves them with very little to contend within.

Calling you honey is not a term of endearment. It is my way of calling you the excrement of an insect!

Just because you don't fit in doesn't mean you were meant to stand out.

My doc wants me to stay off anything sweet, even sweet dreams.

Reading a book is like getting a tattoo, even if you hate it later, it still identifies you as who you are.

Some times the best thing to do is nothing at all. Knowing those times is the only thing I need to learn.

The only advantage of bullshit is that as it matures, it becomes manure!

The only reason, why I tread an oft trodden path, is because its harder to see the trail of destruction I leave behind!

The reason why reality always wins over illusions is because it pretty much well lasts longer.

The world accepts genius with the same enthusiasm as a 110V bulb accepts being plugged into a 220V source.
