Life's as kind as you let it be.

"The king of Rhyme"

and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.

-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
If there is any planning worth undertaking in human life it is, when one breathes
his last neither should he have any guilt nor dissatisfaction... Despite doing
everything desired, still if he has any kind of remorse or discontent while bidding
goodbye to this world...then what did he do all his life?
-Deep Trivedi
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.
