Just another thought

Revenge is mediocre, ignorance is bliss. :)

All you need is a ray of light

"Sometimes you are light for others
and sometimes you need light from others
Wherever, whenever, there is light
There is still a hope for life"

Don't You Quit (Thank you, whoever have written it)

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit-

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a fellow turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given up

Whe he might have captured the victor's cup;

And he learned too late when the night came down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It might be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Swami Vivekanand

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.  

John Rawls' Theory of Justice

John Rawls' theory of justice is based on the "veil of ignorance" principle. These principles are those principles which are chosen by every individual if every individual were in a so-called ‘original position’ of equality.This 'original position' is a hypothetical situation in which a person is free from all biases of both of which he is conscious of and of which he is not conscious of.

Ray Goforth

There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed. 

A (No)rmal day

I look at her face, calm like the water. She tries to smile but the pain on her face is still clearly visible. I go to her and sit beside. I try to initiate a conversation, she hesitates. This is the scene at a mental hospital in Delhi. After she is convinced that I am not trying to make fun of her she starts telling her story.

5 years back she moved to Delhi from a small village in Bihar. She lives in a paying guest house. She is suffering from Schizophrenia from past 1 year. Nobody who lives in the guest house behaves with her like a normal human being. Everybody keeps a distance from her like she is a ghost or something.

It is completely understood- In a country where we are still struggling to achieve equality between men and women at the ground level, hoping the society will treat a mentally ill woman as equal is surely an over expectation.

Raju and his mom; tears rolling down their cheeks 

Consoling each other, looking at big houses of rich

I always wonder, why the silence, why they could not speak

Perhaps they speak but no one is there to listen to their shriek
