Our uniqueness makes us special, makes perception valuable - but it can also make us lonely. This loneliness is different from being 'alone': You can be lonely even surrounded by people. The feeling I'm talking about stems from the sense that we can never fully share the truth of who we are. I experienced this acutely at an early age.
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.

Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it.
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.
Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.
Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
Once you have an innovation culture, even those who are not scientists or engineers — poets, actors, journalists — they, as communities, embrace the meaning of what it is to be scientifically literate. They embrace the concept of an innovation culture. They vote in ways that promote it. They don't fight science and they don't fight technology.
A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world.
There's always going to be the circumstances you can't plan for. There's always the unexpected relevance and the serendipity.
