Quotations
Life
We are always getting ready to live but never living.

‘New’ is a beautiful word which opens up many possibilities. If every day can be viewed as ‘New’ then, life blossoms - like new leaves, buds, flowers and fruit - full of colour, fragrance, taste and rasa: the very essence of living.
-Sonal Mansingh "Sonal Mansingh"

The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people will spend it for you.
