Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's no thing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
- Nelson Mandela
Butterfly. Cow. Eagle. An intertwining of the characteristics of these. That's me. Bovinity rules most of the time - in particular, innocence and placidity.
** Then I'm a butterfly - cool in temperament and colourful in spirit.
But actually the strongest trait in me, though relatively less conspicuous, is the eagle's - very domineering. I believe I'm here to rule the world. I want to be in Indian politics, then I want to be the UN General Secretary.
** Had I known in school what I was genuinely interested in, I would have studied History, Political Science and Psychology. Now I've "become" an engineer and a softee. Life moves on.
** Red is my favourite colour. Though it's indicative of red, I've learnt not to be
inveterately passionate or rancourous of something. I believe that helps me. ** I'm a foodie. Anything comestible is devoured. ** India's national daily, The Hindu. That's my fourth meal. I attribute most of my strengths and whatever knowledge I possess to it. ** Religion - I'm more Einsteinein. ** But yes, I believe in God-within-you, peace and a phenomenon called Mahatma Gandhi.
