"Flaubert's Parrot"

at night, rewind the day for five minutes and think whether or not the day was
wasted. And then, see what you will soon transform into.

"Hot Water Music"
In order to lead a successful human life you should have in your nature...a heart
of an artist, vision of a scientist, an astute business acumen, pride of self reliance,
the art of being joyous, a zest for life and lastly, a self-content nature; you should
essentially have a fair mix of all the above mentioned seven qualities.
-Deep Trivedi
