The Taj Mahal rises above the banks of the river like a solitary tear suspended on the cheek of time.
Rabindranath Tagore
Truth is so rare. I wonder why it is and where you are?
Debasish Mridha
I have often felt that when an Atheist asks "Where is your God?" it means even he has an innermost desire to see 'The One' whom he has been rejecting all his life and when an unbeliever asks "Where is your God?" it means he is fed-up with the hand crafted God he has been meaninglessly serving all his life and in his heart even he wants to see the wonder working true living God in all His glory.
Santosh Thankachan
The older I get, the less I know. It's wonderful--it makes the world so spacious.
Swami Chetanananda
If you could understand impermanence deeply, you would develop more equanimity. You would not get too excited about either the ups and downs of life.
Satya Nadella
As you write your novel, you gradually start thinking like some of your characters in it. And at times the writer may lose himself completely in some character.
Avijeet Das
At times you have to fight really hard to remember it. Fight within your mind’s dungeons and bring it out alive before it could have been killed and buried forever by the demons living deep down inside your mind’s dungeons.
Avijeet Das
When entering a library, I never forget to bow down!
Avijeet Das
The difference between wanting to write and having written is one year of hard, relentless labour. It's a bridge you have to build all by yourself, all alone, all through the night, while the world goes about its business without giving a damn. The only way of making this perilous passage is by looking at it as a pilgrimage.
Shatrujeet Nath
The decisions we take reflects our belief and our charachter
Rajnish Borah
There comes a point in your life when you have to take a decision, firm one. You take it, stick to it, execute it. You might alienate some people with your decision but as long as you know the decision is right there is nothing to be concerned about. If you have the slightest doubt that the decision was wrong and it has done more harm than good, you must rectify. If you are sure the decision was absolutely right then you need not be worried about the people you alienated, you are better off without them in your life.If people cannot appreciate you for what you are, you don't need their drama in your life.
Arti Honrao
In the matters of your life don't take orders, take decisions.
Amit Kalantri
We can't blame our decision if something goes wrong in life. Decision is made exactly as per the capacity and capability of the moment's consciousness
Bhavik Sarkhedi
There's nothing as 'Wrong' or 'Right'. It's the extent of how our mind can interpret the circumstances.
Bhavik Sarkhedi
At various points in our lives, or on a quest, and for reasons that often remain obscure, we are driven to make decisions which prove with hindsight to be loaded with meaning. (225)
Swami Satchidananda
I believe that everyone is a hero, a leader, a volunteer, a teacher and a champion of change. All we need to do is acknowledge and understand this and then help others to also understand the same. That’s all it takes to be a hero, a leader, a volunteer, a teacher and a champion of change.
Jeroninio Almeida
A true leader is responsible for his followers who have reposed their faith in his leadership. If an ordinary man fails, it is a personal failure. But when a leader fails, he shatters the entire ideologies, principles and morale of all those who followed him. The impact is much bigger and stakes are higher.
Awdhesh Singh
The very meaning of a leader is that people must follow him. If no one follows, you cannot be a leader even if you are the most intelligent, powerful and wealthy person in the world. Interestingly, you cannot become powerful or wealthy unless you are a leader. Further, anyone who acquires wealth or power automatically becomes a leader as people tend to follow such people.
Awdhesh Singh
The knowledge of the worker is often called ‘skill’, for it requires manual dexterity and training. The knowledge of the manager is ‘academic’ as it can be taught in colleges and universities. However, the knowledge of the leader is ‘creative’ which can generally not be taught, and must come from within.
Awdhesh Singh
A great leader is almost always a great follower for he knows what to learn and from whom.
Awdhesh Singh
A leader is one who travels the path carved out by him, and he ‘leads’ himself onward on that path. If his path is good and his goals are desirable, many more may follow him in their desire to achieve the same goal. Hence, followership is the effect of leadership and not its cause.
Awdhesh Singh
You do not become a leader because people follow you. Rather, people tend to follow you because you have leadership qualities. The journey of leadership often starts alone.
Awdhesh Singh
A leader is generally not more virtuous than most ordinary people. The opposite is usually true. Because people are reluctant to be led by those perceived as evil, a leader expertly creates a façade, behind which he hides all that may appear dirty. This is a difficult art where the leader has to wear two masks, one in public and the other in private—and no one should see the true face of a leader.
Awdhesh Singh
The actions of a leader are always criticised by scholars as well as common men. A scholar has no obligation to produce result, so he is free to rebuke leaders for not sticking to noble means. Common men envy leaders their position and power, thus feeling happy in vilifying them to pull them down to their own levels.
Awdhesh Singh
People don’t need you to fix them, they are not broken, just serve them.
Malti Bhojwani
Listening is a tough skill, but one who practice it becomes The Successful Leader!!!
Santosh Adbhut Kumar
A leader cannot avoid being hated. This hatred is directly proportional to his influence and power. A person who does not wish to be hated should avoid leadership roles.
Awdhesh Singh
A leader is criticised for whatever he does as all his actions benefit some and adversely affect others. When other people commit the same mistake, they can be forgiven or ignored, but never a leader, for his actions affect a large number of people.
Awdhesh Singh
Hatred is very powerful. It can overpower love. When a man burns in the fire of hatred, he cannot feel any love, and is willing to destroy his enemy even if it kills him. It is amazing to note that a leader who may be driven to act against another in hatred, may be showered with love in the process. People who share his hatred may love him for rising up to the challenge.
Awdhesh Singh
A leader must take responsibility for all his actions and not blame anyone for his problems. The follower, on the other hand, is always in search of a scapegoat or a miracle worker who can solve his problems. That is why leaders and followers complement each other. A leader is one who is willing to take on responsibility of not only his own failures but also that of his followers.
Awdhesh Singh
A leader is firm enough to be responsive to changes.
Debasish Mridha
Description before prescription is the trait of a leader!!!
Santosh Adbhut Kumar
Those who put their heart and soul into something bigger than themselves, never die from the psyche of humanity.
Abhijit Naskar
Better an unsung hero than a fallen star.
Tapan Ghosh
They looked at each other. They weren't thinking anymore. The time for that had come and gone. Smashed smiles lay ahead of them. But that would be later. Lay Ter.
Arundhati Roy
Be curious! Curiosity is the mother of all knowledge.
Debasish Mridha
Absence of questions is not proof of answers.
Sweety Shinde
Curiosity is the driving force that propels humanity forward.
Debasish Mridha
Ability to find the answers is more important than ability to know the answers.
Amit Kalantri
The nature of the mind is to acquire, to absorb, is it not? Or rather the pattern it has created for itself is one of gathering in, and in that very activity the mind is preparing its own weariness, boredom. Interst, curiosity, is the beginning of acquisition, wich soon becomes boredom; and the urge to be free from boredom is another form of possession. So the mind goes from boredom to interest to boredom again, til it is utterly weary; and these successive waves of interest and weariness are regarded as existence."Commentaries on Living, Series II
Jiddhu Krishnamurti
Neither bend from sorrows of the past, Nor be anxious about future or get excited in the present.Past, present and future are all manifested in AUM- the Self;Which combines all three energies, Material, mental and sleep, in unison.
Gian Kumar

Chetan Bhagat
No, this is my revenge. I am giving you just what you want, I'm releasing you. And yet I''m really not. I'll inflict torments on you, subtle torments, day after day, year after year- that's why you're necessary to me.
Buddhadeva Bose
Man against man can only take revenge but cannot punish
Santosh Avvannavar
It feels as though it were just yesterday Grandfather exited my life like a bullet, leaving a bleeding hole behind.
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Asif Ali maneuvers the gleaming Mercedes down the labyrinthine lanes of Old Kolkata with consummate skill, but his passengers do not notice how smoothly he avoids potholes, cows and beggars, how skilfully he sails through aging yellow lights to get the Bose family to their destination on time. This disappoints Asif only a little. In his six years of chauffeuring the rich and callous, he has realized that, to them, servants are invisible.
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Amita Trasi
Sifting through scattered memories is like sifting through sand. Some remain, some simply slipaway…– TARA

God has given you the same brain, so use your own in stead of borrowing ideas from somebody else. Think about and fathom the ideas before following them.
