Marriage is something you have to give your whole mind to...!
Matrimony - the high sea for which no compass has yet been invented.
The surest way to be alone is to get married.
Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance....!!!

It is not from reason and prudence that people marry, but from inclination.
Claims do not hold a marriage together.  It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years.

Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
The dread of loneliness is greater than the fear of bondage, 
so we get married.
Any one must see at a glance that if men and women marry those who they do not love, they must love those whom they do not marry...!

A man who is compelled to go on materially and morally supporting a woman he no longer loves feels victimized;  but if he abandons without resources the woman who has pledged her whole life to him, she will be quite as unjustly victimized.

Marriage could be the greatest success in the sociological history of humanity if the man would or could play fair.  But, I believe any woman with independent instincts, with the dream of making her individual personality count for something in the world, might just as well shun marriage.

Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.
The best part about married life is the fights.  The rest is merely 
so-so...!
Quarrels are the dowry which married folk bring one another.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterward.
Marriage isn't a process of prolonging the life of love, but of mummifying the corpse.

Both marriage and death ought to be welcome: the one promises happiness, doubtless the other assures it....!

Marriage is a romance in which the hero dies in the first chapter.
Marriage is a lottery in which men stake their liberty, and women their happiness.
Marriage is the one subject on which all women agree and all men disagree.

Men marry because thery are tired, women because they are curious:  both are disappointed...!!!

Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.
Love is the dawn of marriage, and marriage is the sunset of love.

To marry once is a duty, twice a folly, thrice is madness....!!!

The wedding march always reminds me of the music played when soldiers go into battle....!!!!!!!!!

Art is a poem without words.  It's either easy or impossible.
It depends little on the object, much on the mood, in art....!

In art, as in love, instinct is enough.   The work of art is the exaggeration of an idea.
Art is not for the cultivated taste.  It is to cultivate taste...!

There is no 'must' in art, because art is free.
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd.  Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering once it has stopped hurting.

The more minimal the art, the more maximum the explanation.
In art, there are tears that do often lie too deep for thoughts.
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; 
it is a form of truth.

Art changes all the time, but it never 'improves'.  It may go down or up, but it never improves as technology and medicine improve.
Art does not reproduce the visible; rather it makes visible.

Art is not a mirror to reflect the world, but a hammer with which to shape it.
Art is not an end in itself, but a means of addressing humanity.
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life....!

Art distills sensation and embodies it with enhanced meaning in memorable form - or else it is not art.
When the age of mechanical reproduction separated art from the basis in cult, the semblance of its autonomy disappeared forever.
What is more natural in a democratic age than that we should begin to measure the stature of a work of art  - especially of a painting - by how widely and how well it is reproduced...?

Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.
The object of art is to give life a shape.
Art, like life, should be free, since both are experimental.

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

Art has enemy called ignorance....!!!  Sometimes art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.

Not everything has a name.  Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.... By means of art we are sometimes send - dimly, briefly - revelations unattainable by reason.
Contemporary art, no matter how much it has defined itself by a taste for negation, can still be analyzed as a set of assertions of a formal kind.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindly

One puts into one's art what one has not been capable of putting into one's existence.  It is because he was unhappy that God created the world.

All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.

Great art is as irrational as great music.  It is mad with its own loveliness.

Children are poor men's riches.
Children are natural mythologists: they beg to be told tales, and love not only to invent but to enact falsehoods.
We are given children to test us and make us more spiritual.

Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.
A sweet child is the sweetest thing in nature.  
A child is fed with milk and praise.

Who knows the thoughts of a child....?

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, 
but they have never failed to imitate them....!!!
Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes more bitter.
It is no wonder that people were so horrible when they started life 
as children.

Children are completely egoistic; they feel their need intensely 
and strive truthlessly to satisfy them.
Your children are not your children.  They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child.  The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
One of the most obvious facts about grown-ups to a child is that they have forgetten what it is like to be a child.
Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections, children tend to be sticky.

Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
A torn jacket is soon mended, but hard words bruise the.... 
heart of a child.

Everywhere.... everywhere..., children are the scorned people 
of the earth.

Children need models rather than critics.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Our children are not treated with sufficient respect as human beings, and yet from the moment they are born they have this right to respect.  We keep them children far too long, their world separate from the real world of life.

There is no finer investment for any community than putting 
milk into babies.
There never was child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him asleep.

One of the things I've discovered in general about raising kids is that they really don't give a damn if you walked five miles to school.  They want to deal with what's happening now...!!!
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows...!

Children begin by loving their parents.  After a time they judge them.  Rarely, if ever, do they forgive them....!!!
Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children.

Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Parents learn a lot from their children about coping with life.
What is children become, that will the community become...!!!

The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
The childhood shows the man.... as morning shows the day.
The child is the father of the man.

To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than 
to fix bolts in cars..... or......
design nuclear weapons....!!!!!!!!!

The truth shall make you free.
You never find yourself until you face the truth.
Truth, like a torch, the more it's shook it shines.

There are no new truths, but only truths that have been recognized by those who have perceived them without noticing.
Truth lives on in the midst of deception.
Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.
Truth disappears with the telling of it.....!!!

To be modest in speaking truth is hypocrisy....!
We are subjected to the production of truth through power and we cannot exercise power except through the production of truth.
Truth is so rare it's delightful to tell it.....!!!

We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
Truth has no special time of its own.  Its hour is now-always.

Truth is more of a stranger than fiction.
If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or....
they'll kill you.....!!!!!!

Nobody speaks the truth when there's something they must have.
The truth that survives is simply the lie that is pleasantest to believe.

The truth is balance, but the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.
When truth is discovered by someone elese, it loses something of its attractiveness.

My way of joking is to tell the truth.  It's the funniest joke in the world.
Deep truth is imageless.

When a woman tells the truth she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.
To me the truth is something which cannot be told in a few words, and those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.

What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth.
If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in a library....?

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
Telling the truth to people who misunderstand you is generally promoting falsehood.

If it is not true it is very well invented.
Truth is mighty and will prevail.  Duration is not a test of true of false.

Fraud and falsehood only dread examination.  Truth invites it.
The greater amount of truth is impulsively uttered;
thus the greater amount is spoken, not written....!

Truth ever lovely - since the world began,
The foe of tyrants, and the friend of man...!!!

Death - A bad word........ No....!
            An evil sign........ No...!!
            An end to life......No.....!!!

Death is simply a shedding of the physical body, like the butterfly coming out of a cocoon.....! 
It's like putting away your winter coat when spring comes.....!!!

Then why so much fear about death.....!

It is not that we afraid to die.  We just don't want to be there when it happens.
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.

It is natural to die as to be born.  
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.

All human things are subject to decay, And when fate summons, monarchs must obey.
It has often been said, that it is not death,
but dying....... which is terrible.

To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.

To die is to go into the Collective Unconscious, to lose oneself in order to be transformed into form..... pure form.....!
We postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, 
by giving, by losing.

Death is a punishment to some, to some a gift, and to many a favour.
But Death is a distant rumor to the young.

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep.
And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Death.... It's the only thing we haven't succeeded in completely vulgarizing.

It is possible to provide security against other ills, 
but as far as death is concerned,
we human beings all live in a city without walls.....!

Death destroys a person, the idea of Death saves the one.
Man dies when he wants, as he wants, of what he chooses.
He that dies pays all debts.....!!!!

One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
The grave is a fine and private place.

Death always comes too early or too late
Our last garment is made without pockets.

Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Death cancels everything but truth....!

To die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.
Let u endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die....!
Neither the Sun nor death can be looked at steadily.
Death has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.

Do not seek death.  Death will find you.
But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.

Why fear death....?   
It is the most BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURE in life.....!!!!

Death is strange - is it not....? - that of the myriads who
Before us passed the door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of the road
Which to discover.... WE MUST TRAVEL TOO.....!!!!!!

GOD......... An imagination or reality.....?

He or She......?

Some belive...... and some don't believe.....!!!!!

How it looks like....?


Well.....

Everyone is in a small way the image of God.

It is the heart which experiences God, and not the reason.

It is fear that first brought Gods into the world.

God helps those who help themselves.

God is but a word invented to explain the world.

A God who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.

God is the Celebrity - Author of the World's Best Seller.
We have made God into the biggest celebrity of all, to contain our own emptiness.

Respectable society believed in God in order to avoid having to speak about him.

Is man only a blunder of God, or God only a blunder of men....?

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

God, that dumping ground of our dreams....!

If God is male, then male is God.
The divine patriarch castrates women as long as he is allowed to live on in the human imagination.

An honest God is the noblest work of man.

God is clever, but not dishonest.....!!!

We trust that God is on our side.  " It is more important to know that we are on God's side."

If there were no God, it would be necessary to invent him.

All our Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent.

God is a gentleman.  He prefers blondes....!!!!!

God has been replaced, as he has all over the world, with respectability and air conditioning.

At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.

By the year 2020 we may, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.


So.......


God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love....!!!

Hi friends....

Someone tagged me..... sorry.... dragged me into this trouble game....!
Who is that 'Someone'.....?
Who else..... it is Sumedha only.....!
Where is my friend Sumedha.....?
Sumedha.....!   Hello Sumedha.....!!   Are you there.....!!!!!
I know.....   You dragged me in this game and just simply vanished now.....!!!

Well.  Let me see the questions.....! 
Wow.... so simple and 'zuzubi' questions......!
If I faced these kind of questions in any of my employment interview......
I would have become a CEO of that company now.....!!!!

Ok.  Let me answer the questions.

Rules of the game:-

" This time it is not one but 2 games in one..... and you either play both or you don't play at all.  You have to tag people in multiples of three only.... minimum being 3 naturally."

Game 1:

1.  What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex...?  Please no corny answers like his/her personality.  We all know what we notice first :-)

My answer:

" Naturally her looks, her dressing sense and her behaviour."

2.  Who - of the opposite sex - would you want to be with if you were deserted on an island...?

My answer:

Definitely not with earthly female.   If fortune favours me..... I love to be with a 'Heavenly Angel"  or if my fate plays.... I prefer to be with a "Deadly She-Devil"......!!!!
So what.....?  Let me have some different experience.....!!!

3.  What turns you on about the opposite sex....?

My answer:

Her simple and homely look with little ego......!  Her too much of self confidence and equal brilliance.....!  Her shy type with sense of humour.....!!!  And naturally..... female with lot of feminism......!!!!!!!!!!

4.  What turns you off....?

My answer:

Too much of ego.....!  Too much of talk.....!!!  Too much of style and too much of make-up....!!!

5.  Some froppites have their real picture on the profile and some don't but just going by their blogs/comments/scraps  who do you think is the hottest female (male bloggers answer this) and male blogger (female blogger answer this)...?

My answer:

Very simple.....!  I am not very particular about my friends.... with photos or whithout photos.....!
If we select our friends just by photos.... then it is not friendship....!  It is like seeking alliance....!  Also if it clicks..... it is not frienship.....!  It is like 'dating' or 'betrothal'
