the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi

"Flaubert's Parrot"
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
