the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me...
“I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
This statement by Sir Isaac Newton shortly before his death in 1727 eloquently reflects the sentiments of all mature scientists from the ancient past to the present.

love is...
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

Who will make the task less complex?
And who will clear the million roads
That finally lead to perfection?

hours of determined labour...
The single joy is work
In field, at bench, and table:
Work till the sweat runs hot,
Work without counting the cost,
Hours of determined labour.

Nothing more necessary...

Friendship
They are siblings God chose not to give us. They are the ones who ask us how we are and wait for an answer. Friendship itself, is the purest form of love. A friend pours out his love, yet expects nothing in return. Though, a hug is worth innumerable words, a friend is worth even more.
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? I thought I was the only one." - C. S. Lewis
:)) Hi! Happy Friendship Day..!!

deeply in love...
"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels.

Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived".
