any expectations, believe me, that one act of yours will make you a "historical

-Deep Trivedi
In pursuit of auspicious time a lot of people delay the "act" even when the time,

are not in their favour. These are nothing but the "means" which lead you to your
own end.
-Deep Trivedi
Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
