Well-shaped Rubies from my Little Real Journal

It is an interesting fact to note that I am getting a chance to comment on my real world journal through this online journal. Maybe this is one of the pleasures I receive from blogging. I am kind of inspired to do this act of writing. I just returned from a creative writing class and I also read an interview with Jumpa Lahiri in which she discusses her writing style and her new collection of short stories titled –‘Unaccustomed Earth’.
So here I am to give you the best quotes that I have recorded in my real world diary.
The first one is from Deepak Chopra – The spirituo-management guru. The article appeared in TOI. I really enjoy reading the Sunday magazine of TOI for its colorful images and the spiritual corner.
‘You and I are infinite choice makers in every moment of our existence we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices. Some of these choices are made consciously, while others are made unconsciously. But the best way to understand and maximize the use of Karmic law is to become consciously aware of the choices we make in every moment’.
The next one is from Anne Frank…I almost forgot Anne (The other - I am trying to forget). She helped to discover the theater element in me. This one is from her book titled – Tales from the Secret Annex. The writing is titled as – ‘Why’
The saying “You must ask in order to know is true in so far as it leads to thinking about things, and by thinking nobody can never get worse but will only get better”
The third one is from Osho. I used to read Osho Times when I lived in Chennai. These days I practice what I have learned from him.
‘Associate your happiness with your own self. You are sitting unoccupied under a tree. Be happy. It will seem difficult how to be happy when there are no reasons for being happy. We usually become happy for some reason a friend is approaching, so you are happy. Happiness without any reason is masti, ecstasy. There is no visible cause for the happiness; one is just rejoicing in something from within’.
