Nilesh Rathod
“It is the destiny of the mind to seek”
Nilesh Rathod, Destiny of Shattered Dreams

Vladimir Nabokov
“In result of that weird interview, the numbness of my soul was for a moment resolved. And no wonder! I had actually seen the agent of fate. I had palpated the very flesh of fate--and its padded shoulder. A brilliant and monstrous mutation had suddenly taken place, and here was the instrument. Within the intricacies of the pattern (hurrying housewife, slippery pavement, a pest of a dog, steep grade, big car, baboon at its wheel), I could dimly distinguish my own vile contribution. Had I not been such a fool--or such an intuitive genius--to preserve that journal, fluids produced by vindictive anger and hot shame would not have blinded Charlotte in her dash to the mailbox. But even had they blinded her, still nothing might have happened, had not precise fate, that synchronizing phantom, mixed within its alembic the car and the dog and the sun and the shade and the wet and the weak and the strong and the stone.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Anthon St. Maarten
“You can wait for others to decide your fate, or you can master your own destiny. Just know that others seldom have very much planned for your future happiness, so the do-it-yourself approach may just be your best bet.”
Anthon St. Maarten

“People think they have all the time in the world, that they know how to plan things. And that is why they don't take chances. It's those who know that everything can change in the blink of an eye and that our plans are at the mercy of destiny: it's they who know how to take chances, how to make mistakes, how to live. Nothing is ever actually a mistake. Do the same mistake at a different time, in a different place, in a different season, and it would be considered perfect. There are no mistakes, there is only destiny colliding with time and with our own definition of planning. We make the mistake of trying to dictate, that's what we do. If we were not always trying to control time and outcome, we would see, that everything flows. It all flows. We try to put the river into a bucket and tell it where to go and that is the only actual mistake that any of us have ever made.”
C. JoyBell C.

Never allow yourself to be bullied.
No one knows your destiny.”

“Three things I have learned over the years:
Don't keep searching for the truth,
there is no truth;
Let your past go, so you can move forward towards you dreams;
And first and foremost - pack only the best
of every thing you had been through.

No need to blame or search for offenders. One can never know all the circumstances. Let the memory remain bright.”
Neelam Tewar

“Chances are you have business cards lying around from people you have met that are doing what you want to be doing who can help you - if you ask. ”

“I know you were there that day. I think I managed to forgive myself so I could forgive you too. I will not forgive you, however, for the fact that I will have to live for the rest of my life with the knowledge that you were there that day.”
R.

Neelam  Jain
“कर्म योग और भक्ति योग,
ज्ञान योग और राज योग,
आसान नहीं था,
कुछ भी अपनाना और मुक्त हो जाना.
विरक्त हो जाना.
अपने हिस्से की पीड़ाएँ थीं,
जिनसे होकर हर-हाल गुज़रना था.
कितने निमित्त, कितने पुरुषार्थ,
इन प्रश्नों का सोचा जाना व्यर्थ था !”
Neelam Jain, Ek Anuja

Elly Griffiths, The Chalk Pit

Bhuwan Thapaliya
