J.R.R. Tolkien Quotes


J.R.R. Tolkien : Author of Richly Inventive Epic Fantasy - The Lord of the Rings

* The wide world is all about you; you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.

** Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

*** Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Quotes - 21 / 6 / 05 : Of School Friendship

Telugu Book : Of School Friendship : POLERAMMA BANDA KATHALU : Mohammad Khadeer Babu; Kavali Prachuranalu, 1-13-6, old town, Kavali-524201. Rs. 70.


THIS BOOK comprising 25 stories first published in Andhra Jyothi depicts the escapades and experiences of four school students including the author hailing from different strata of semi-urban society. Crossing social barriers and cultural hurdles, these little heroes stand at the vanguard of true friendship.

The book is a trendsetter. Spontaneous flow of humour in real life situations is its hallmark. The first person narrative with a cultivated twist in local dialect sustains the interest of the reader who will be reminded of his own school life.

The first piece describes the hilarious scenes witnessed during school admissions. Tricks played for extracting money from parents to go on excursion, efforts to befriend a boy who owns a cycle and purchase of second-hand books at economic prices all related to school life are the topics of these stories. There is a mix of bravado and innocence in their speech and action. When these friends come to 10th class, things change including the dress code.

Before long farewell quotes are prepared for writing in autograph books. One such gem "In life's book, high school is a beautiful chapter", sums up the essence of the book in a nutshell.

The illustrations by Mohan are attractive. Cast in the mould of R. K. Narayan's Swami and Friends, this work earns the author a coveted slot in this genre of literature. It deserves to be preserved as a memento of friendship.

Quotes - 22 / 6 / 05 : A Laugh A Day

A Laugh A Day


"If you weep, you weep alone, if you laugh, the world laughs with you", is an old maxim.

But one ought to be gifted with a sense of humour in order to laugh. Humour means capacity to laugh and to make others laugh. It is one of the blessings of God to mankind. A humorous temperament is a great merit of a person's character. It helps him overcome not only his own depression and irritation but also that of his numerous friends and relatives. A hearty laugh contributes greatly to the health and happiness of mankind.

Though a sense of humour is a matter of temperament, it can also be cultivated like any other habit. It all depends on whether we derive joy or sorrow from a particular situation. By nature we should be able to see the silver lining and point out its beauty to other people while we see the dark cloud in the sky. It is rightly stated, "Two men behind the bar, one saw the dark cloud and the other the star". A sense of humour and a cheerful temperament generate a healthy and optimistic outlook towards life. People with a sense of humour can also develop the virtue of endurance.

Quotes - 25 / 6 / 05 - Do it right : Reboot Yourself!

Do it right : Reboot Yourself!


Most of us pay scant attention to some of the most important dictates of the workplace. Then when we do get into trouble, we rue the day in which we could have made an effort but didn't to adhere to those little things that make such a big impact. They ease our work stress and make our professional lives content. Take time taste these titbits.

Option enthusiasm. It can put you on the map of opportunities galore! Enthusiastic participation will not only create a favourable impression but may also get you plum assignments.

Use work tools for work. Kill the urge to use the official facilities for personal use.

Plain text. Cut out the gossip, for it could just boomerang.

Network neighbourhood. Create a network to fall back on. Being part of an association helps you stay current and networked to facilities you may need in crises.

Set language. Make it a habit to be courteous and helpful to every employee or visitor in the office.

Rainbow Quotes




It takes both the sun and the rain to make a beautiful rainbow. --Unknown.

If you mean that the proximity of one color should give beauty to another that terminates near it,
observe the rays of the sun in the composition of the rainbow, the colors of which are generated by
the falling rain, when each drop in its descent takes every color of the bow.
--Leonardo Da Vinci, Treatise on Painting, 1490s

We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that a savage has,
because we know how it is made.
We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.
-- Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad

Quotes - 21 / 7 / 05 - Holiday Atmosphere in Secretariat

HYDERABAD: The bustling activity usually noticed in the Secretariat was missing on Wednesday.

With the Chief Minister, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, who was away in New Delhi, and the 22 Ministers not attending office, a large number of employees decided to make the most of it. Many offices wore a deserted look, while the employees thronged the "eating-cum-trade zone" on the south-east of the sprawling premises consisting of four canteens, two dairy counters, a juice centre, Lepakshi and Girijan counters.

With the resignation of the five TRS Ministers, the Cabinet size shrunk to 25 from 30. Of those remaining, Botcha Satyanarayana, who is at the centre of the Volkswagen controversy, is stated to have been showing no inclination to take up his new portfolio, Marketing. He was absent on Wednesday as was M. Satyanrayana Rao (Sports).

Luck Shoots Up! ... Bamboo Spells Bounty

Bamboo is a traditional symbol of happiness, wealth and health in Asian ethos

OVER THE past few years, feng shui has become a fashion statement. While you see scores of stores stocking wind chimes, bells with red coloured threads, laughing Buddhas, crystals, wealth cups, frogs with coins, there are also bamboo plants that are artfully positioned in living spaces. Bamboo shoots, popularly known as lucky bamboo, (the botanical name being Dracaena anderana), grow in water, like cut flowers, but last for years. These vibrant plants are imported from Taiwan. They adapt to a new environment easily. They are easy to maintain and need to be placed in shallow water in a transparent glass vase so as to allow light to be absorbed by the roots. ...

A Circle of Compassion


A human being is a part of the whole that we call the universe,
a part limited in time and space. And yet we experience ourselves,
our thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest -
a kind of optical illusion of our consciousness. This illusion is
a prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to af-
fection for only the few people nearest us. Our task must be to
free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compas-
sion to embrace all living beings and all of nature.

- Albert Einstein

INDIA Since Independence


India was a British colony. It earned its independence from the British on 15/08/1947. Day before that Pakistan which was created as a result of partition of British India was established and flanked on two sides of India: West Pakistan which is called today Pakistan, and east Pakistan, now an independent state called Bangladesh. After its independence, the political leaders of India adopted the liberal democratic system for the country.
Since its independence, India has transformed a lot. When India attained independence in 1947, its population was around 400 million people. Now there are billion people in India. India is the largest democracy in the world. It has the biggest number of people with franchise rights and the largest number of political parties, which take part in election campaign.
Before its independence, India was never a single country but a bunch of different entities. Many predicted that India, because of diversities in its cultures, religion, languages, castes, manners, local histories, nationalities and identities, would not survive as a single democratic country, but would break up into smaller countries.
Since independence, India had many political problems. During independence the most burning issues were the riots between the Hindus and Muslims while the Sikhs were siding with Hindus. Another issue was convincing the Princely states not to declare independence or join Pakistan but to join the Indian Union. India also had a few wars with its neighbors on border issues.
India also has many internal problems. Different communities with different identities - regional, language, caste, religion - demanded different rights for their communities. Some communities demanded more autonomy for their cultures within the Indian states. Others demanded autonomous states within the Indian Union, while the others demanded to be independent from India.
With all its problems India survives as a single state with democratic character.

August Rushes


August rushes by like desert rainfall,
A flood of frenzied upheaval,
Expected,
But still catching me unprepared.
Like a matchflame
Bursting on the scene,
Heat and haze of crimson sunsets.
Like a dream
Of moon and dark barely recalled,
A moment,
Shadows caught in a blink.
Like a quick kiss;
One wishes for more
But it suddenly turns to leave,
Dragging summer away.


- Elizabeth Maua Taylor
