As You Like It: I Quoteth..

1) Orlando: "if killed, but one dead that is willing to be so: I shall do my friends no wrong, I have none to lament me,the world no injury, for in it I have nothing; only in the world I fill up a place, which may be better supplied when I have made it empty."

2) Rosalind: "Beauty provoketh thieves faster than gold."

3) Duke Sr.: "Sweet are the uses of adversity, which like the toad, ugly and venemous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head."

The above is used in reference to the toadstone or Batrachite. Toadstone is a mythical stone or gem, supposed to be found in, or produced by, a toad. It is supposed to be an antidote to poison.

4) Silvius: "O, thou didst then ne'er love so heartily! If thou remember'st not the slightest folly, That ever love did make thee run into, Thou hast not loved; Wearing thy hearer in thy mistress' praise, Thou has not loved; Or if thou hast not broke from company, Abruptly as my passion now makes me,Thous hast not loved."

5) Touchstone: "We that are true lovers run into strange capers; but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly."

Note: 'mortal in folly' would mean excessively foolish. The word 'mortal' is used for 'excessive'.

Pimp My Ride..If only I had one

You know what I'd really like right now... To own a car.

Its a wish beyond means right now...well I guess I have enough to do..Not feeling very zealous about it right now.

Street Food and Dhabas :) :)

Indian roads are so wonderful when it comes to food.... The best tastes,flavors and smells emanate from the roadside dishes.
If its the street..then there's the invincible flavor of chaat.. pani puri, pav bhaji, dahi papdi, aloo tiki..
If its 'the 8 times the size of streeways'- highways, then dhabas rule the roost.. Butter chicken and naan, dal makhani,fish curry...
Its all jut incomparable...and the best part (apart from the thoroughly satisfying gastronomic experience) is the price. Did you know that you can have a fish thali in 18rupees on the roads of karnataka?(just found that out today)
Downside for some might be the hygiene or lack of sophisticated ambience...but who cares! Its pure heaven once a bite goes into your mouth.

So basically, when you're roaming around aimlessly and hunger strikes, there's no dearth of food. It happened to me today only, I discovered momos right outside my college gate. The dimunitive man standing with his small portable table of freshly steamed momos proved to be a saviour for my hungry soul!

"One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art".

That was by Oscar Wilde...And below is are works of art.

1) A very very very very very innovative way of displaying shoes.
Under your feet, below the glass flooring of the store is a conveyor belt hosting pairs of shoes :)

And the next one comes from a completely different area
2) A wedding cake for an Indian couple.

This is a Print Ad for Videocon Washing Machines...by Oglivy & Mather, Mumbai....Genius!

Moods play a BIG role in the decisions you make. Infact a lot of things influence decisions, thoguhts, actions etc....like the people around you, their attitude, the weather, the music, even colours surounding you. Its all so interconnected.

Is anyone capable of blocking it all out... maybe thats what brings in power?

Recluse

I feel like I'm turning into a recluse. Its a word I've been using quite often these days, so I decided to look it up on the web. Wikipedia is the most obvious place to search.. god bless wiki!

Definition: A recluse is someone in isolation who hides away from the attention of the public, a person who lives in solitude, i.e. seclusion from intercourse with the world. The word is from the Latin recludere, which means "shut up" or "sequester".

You know, whats funny is that they've listed some famouse recluses! Here are a few:

Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Greta Garbo, actress, who famously said, "I want to be alone."
Rod Evans, original singer of rock band Deep Purple. He has not been seen publicly for more than 25 years

Twitter

I landed upon this site..I think its similar to a blog.. only you have a limit of 144 characters.. seems ideal for me considering I hardly have much to say. But the again those 144 characters should be put to good use, or shoul I say excellent use.
This is a link to one of its members' pages http://twitter.com/iheartquotes... Lots of interesting quotes.
For example ( a strong one) : "Superstition, idolatory and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes a-begging."-Martin Luther

Post-Books Binge

I'm binging on internet. Two days of non-stop study can really put me off it seems...I can't bear to TOUCH a book. This isn't such a great thing to happen. I'm just online non-stop, wasting my time!
