Noble Thoughts

To make an exhaustive list of all the great words that have produced a very great impact would be impossible given that everyday I am influenced by a number of things and people around me. Also it would prove futile for the very cause for writing them. I am gonna list some selected ones that remain with me even today( selected in terms of personal best and interms of my memory)....The order of arrangement is not indicative of preference.
1. The movie Gandhi has left a big impact particularly the funeral scene and the commentary which summarises everything
"The objective of this massive tribute...... died as he has always lived......a private man without wealth without property.....Mahatma Gandhi was not a commander of armies nor a ruler of vast lands ....... He could not boast of any scientific achievement or artistic gift... yet men, govt dignitaries from all over the world have joined hands to pay homage to this little brown man in the loin cloth who led his country to freedom".
2."Be the change you want to see in the world"- Mahatma Gandhi
3."Examinations should test one's knowledge not one's ignorance"- My friend Vivishek when we were faced with an examination or something like that and were spell bound as none of us knew what most questions actually meant.
4."When one is faced with lots of troubles, one should always hold faith in oneself cause no matter what the magnitude be,it will hit you, but will definitely leave you and is not there to stay"- My Cultural Education Sir
5."Within every block of stone there lies a statue waiting to be liberated by the touch of a sculptor"- Michealangelo saying which my friend Rijo keeps reiterating evry now and then
6."Never use the same tongue with which you say "RAM RAM" for using foul language"-
My grand mother( Saraswathi kovilamma) who was everything and everything for me.
7."God is Love and Love is God"- Sai Baba
8." Is it possible to concentrate at infinity?? thats why we use idols"- When I asked my grand father the Late Ganghadharan Nedungadi for why we worship idols.
9."God has been very kind to me and whatever I am is the manifistation of the presence of that power" - Me
