Below follow excerpts from my mind's maze of randomly constructed conversations.
I. 'For the the naivetes out there, this one is to dispel the fallacy that altruism still exists. The only altruists who exist have been re-labelled as idiots. That does not mean humanity is dead. A good human being has been redefined to be one who can accommodate usefulness to others in the ambit of his own interests. Not cynical, just amply practical.'
II. 'Please go away, I need peace and quiet to study.'
'I have just one question, why do you study?'
'What kind of a question is that?'
'Do you know why you study or was it just a presumed task you took up?'
'Of course I know, I study to learn.'
'Learn what?'
'Everything, Learn everything'
'About what?'
'About the world in general. Now you're really irritating me, Does this have a point?'
'So you study to learn about the world?'
'Yes'
'And you think the best way to learn about the world is by shutting it out?'
',,,'
III. 'I just understood the reason behind Starbucks making star bucks, People are so caught up in a mechanical life, academically brilliant or otherwise, that they have forgotten how to make themselves a simple cup of good coffee and take a break. The have traded the time and energy needed to learn those skills for making more money. So now, all they can do is employ their ridiculously huge sums of money for all the pleasures of life. I'm not complaining, it gives the coffee boys something to do, But the truth remains and the irony is that the coffee boys are probably smarter in philosophy and more likely to understand what I am saying, Simply because they have more time to self-introspect. I may be completely off the mark, but it's amusing nevertheless how that coffee boy is smarter than the 50k dollar a year hotshot.'
IV.
"My David, don't you worry, this cruel world is not for you
So rest your head upon me, I have the strength to carry you.."
You know you've matured when you learn to tell good music from bad. Quality of work is a measure of intent. It always shows and it always pays. Remember that every time you start on something.

Character of the day: Josephine March, little women, by Jane Austen
Her resolute, hot headed, iron willed determination to succeed in a male chauvinistic world still inspires me, Doesn't really give credit to today's world, but a spade is a spade.And I am biased towards Austen,
