the life and times of sahoo

Sahoo Takes Life as it Comes


Life

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away - Hilary Cooper

Rule of Law

"Law should be like death which spares nobody" - Montesquieu

Complacency

Complacency is a dangerous instinct (in politics). It is a recipe for stagnation - Bridget Kendall, BBC News, 6 May, 2008

Relationships

Assumptions are the termites of relationships. ~Henry Winkler

Impossible?

Impossible Is Just a Big Word
Thrown Around By Small Men

Who Find It Easier

To Live In a World

They Have Been Given

Than To Explore the Power

They Have To Change It.

Impossible Is Not A Fact.
It Is An Opinion.

Impossible Is Not A Declaration.

It Is A Dare.

Impossible Is Potential.

Impossible Is Temporary.

Relationships

Assumptions are the termites of relationships. ~Henry Winkler

Relationship

"You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you". ~ Frederick Buechner

Bachelor

A Bachelor is man who comes to work each morning from a different direction - Sholom Aleichem

Traditions

We all have our "traditions". And traditions make us unique and create our identity. That's why we continue with our traditions - Olabasi AINA, Nigerian Anthropologist during the ISA PhD Laboratory at the University of Maduguri.

Life

Life is the way you see it

What is Racism?

"It need not pertain only to issues of race. It is essentially an act of gross generalization born out of abject ignorance through which an entire community is tarred by a process of caricature and reduction" - Anand Patwardhan, "Monkey Business", The Times of India, 12 January 2008.

Torture and Violence

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind. Torture is ineffective because it corrupts the moral character of a society that allows it to be used - Mahatma Gandhi.

Memories

Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past.

Philosophiae Doctor

(1) Recipient and keepers of vast knowledge handed down from the past, (2) Creators of new knowledge through research, and (3) Dissemination of knowledge through teaching.

Indian Culture

"If America is a melting-pot, then to me India is a thali, a selection of sumptuous dishes in different bowls. Each tastes different, and does not necessarily mix with the next, but th ey belong together on the same plate, and they complement each other in making the meal a satisfying repast" - Sashi Tharoor, India: From Midnight to Millennium.

Indian Culture

“I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any”- Mahatma Gandhi

Sustainability

"The World has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed" - Mahatama Gandhi

History

"History can be much more than random dates and ancient artefacts" - Karl Penn in movie Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj

Silence

"Mistaken are those who imagine that silence is without life; that is inanimate without either spirit or voice. It is not: indeed the Word is to this silence what the shadow is to the foreshadowed, what the veil is to the eyes, what the mind is to truth, what language is to life" - -- Amitav Ghosh (1997) in Calcutta Chromosome, p. 29

F**k Word

"The f**k word – as usual used with rather lack of relevance or context, to the most basic of human action which is so explicitly and so succinctly describes a sad but unavoidable linguistic travesty of these modern times" - Bollywood Movie -Shootout at Lokhandwala

Corruption

"Corruption is the most infallible symptom of constitutional liberty" - From Bollywood Movie - Corporate

Time

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear,too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice,but for those who love, time is eternity - Henry Van Dyke

Freedom

"Freedom is like virginity. You either have it or you don’t. There are no in-betweens. You can’t promise freedom with clauses and caveats" -- Pritish Nandy, The Times of India, July 13, 2006

Fear

"Fear was not an instinct. It was something learnt, something that accumulated in mind, through knowledge, experience and upbringing. Nothing was harder to share than another person's fear" - Amitav Ghosh (2004) The Hungry Tide
