I am putting togather a book where people of all different ages, cultures, ethinicity etc will be putting in one or two liners or at the most a short paragraph to tell the world what lessons has life taught them. I will give an example. I hope this page remains open for at least a year before I or anybody else who is interested can publish a thought provocing book.

EG: Henry, Pupil: (age 8) Never lend an eraiser to your classmates.

EG: Peter, Student (age 17) Never introduce your girlfriend to your bestfriend.

EG: Baichand Shah,Shopkeeper: (age 47) Never give anything on a credit unless the customer uses his creditcard.

*************

I hope this is the begining of an interesting dialogue added with some fun as well.

If you are a vegetarian then don’t go in for a live in relationship with your girlfriend if she happens to be a non-vegetarian.

When she cooks fish and meat the smell is going to make you throw up and when having dinner together just look into her eyes when she is nibbling on her salad or when drinking wine. If you watch her chewing on the meat you will never feel like kissing her lips again.

Help protect and preserve the environment that you live in because it doesn’t belong to you.

Care for Mother Nature just like you care for your biological mother. The umbilical link between you and your biological mother is severed at childbirth but the umbilical link between you and Mother Nature lasts till you depart from here. She feeds you, provides you with air and water to live so please don’t pollute your environment.

Remember your origin, you started as a microscopic cell with genetic information inherited from your parents. Every atom in your body is as old as the universe that we live in today.

Respect the elderly because we will be there one day, we cannot conquer time. Have a smile on your face when you help them.

The only purpose of our existence in this world is for passing our genetic information to the next generation to maintain the continuity of our species. So please don’t kill or hurt each other in the name of religion, race or ethnic cleansing.

Enjoy life to the fullest because you only live once.

Nikhil

Don’t be obsessed with sex or money they don’t bring you happiness. Only true love does.

The sweet memories etched in your mind are more important then memories in photographs or in a memory stick. Cherish it and savor those wonderful moments in life.

True love conquers everything in life. The sword brings only pain, blood and grief.

The smile on Mother Theresa’s face is worth more than the smile on Mono Lisa’s face

" Changes are the most consistent and certain in life that never change"... To me it initially a looked bit light.. but I don't think that way any more...

Recently came across this dialogue in a Tamil movie "Matrangal dhan ulagilum Vazhkaiyilum Matrame illadhadhu". and I've tried to translate it as above.

Be it is the heaven or the Shangri La as we say, I am quite sure it gets monotonous and disillusioned as time pass .... I had a chance to talk to many dwelling citizens of Norway only to know how boring they complain their life is...... Norway is perhaps perceived to be an utopia (atleast by me when I',m stressed).

Similarly in a Mukesh's Hindi song... " Chalna Jeewan ki Kahani, Ruk na mmouth ki Nishani", this often echoes in my mind and put me on track always to think "What is next". The day when some one thinks, "I've achieved what I wanted and I am going to stop and settle".. that is it, it is more likely that he / she will run into a depression cycle... most likely their life machine will be brought to a grinding halt..

I hope I've interspersed what I wanted to say... and undoubtedly my moral of the story (heavily disputed by my pals) is

******** " Keep it going..n going.. n going.... Never stop and look back". ********
