I believe if you want to convey a complex philosophy, its advisable to keep it simple: day-to-day lingo.

Creation and destruction are the two ends of the same moment. And everything between the creation and the next destruction is the journey of life.

As a writer, its important to stay true to your story without giving a hoot about publishers, critics and readers. You should do your karma as an author the way you want to, and rest is up to God.

The oppposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual oppposite of love is apathy. When you don't care a damn as to what happens to the other person.

Weak people never admit that they are responsible for their own state. They always blame either circumstances or others.

A person's ethics and character are not tested in good times. It is only in bad times that a person shows how steadfast he is to his dharma.
