Sometimes I wish I could use a pause button for life and have the ability to move while the rest of the world is frozen.

It's a fact that we all are going to die. But we cannot live if we keep thinking about our death. Whatever the end result might be, enjoy the process and live fully in the moment.

Even the best of your friends can get bored of you when life gets serious and busy.

My problem is I easily get attached and suffer because of it. The Good thing is it doesn't show on my face.

Poverty and Pride
Clashing side by side
Picture perfect
Life on outside
Gnawing hunger
Watered down by water.
Words come to mind
in the form of retaliation
But is stopped
By air like pride and honour
Before it's uttered.
Studying, the only way out
for Poverty born
People with self-respect.

After waiting for sometime to join the meeting:
I have gone back to sleeping. Wake me up when they let us in.

How do you know you are rich?*
One of my Teacher explained me this.
His lectures used to be very interesting since he had an interesting way to teach and explain the concepts.
One day, in the class, he asked the following questions,
1. What is ZERO?
2.What is INFINITY?
3. Can ZERO and INFINITY be same?
We all thought that we knew the answers and we replied as following,
ZERO means *nothing*
INFINITY means *a number greater than any countable number*
ZERO and INFINITY *are opposite and they can never be same*
He countered us by first talking about infinity and asked, ‘How can there be any number which is greater than any countable number?’
We had no answers.
He then explained the concept of infinity in a very interesting way, which I remember even after more than 35 years.
He said that imagine that there is an illiterate shepherd who can count only upto 20.
Now, if the number of sheep he has less than 20 and you ask him how many sheep he has, he can tell you the precise number (like 3, 5 14 etc.). However, if the number is more than 20, he is likely to say “TOO MANY”.
He then explained that in science infinity means ‘too many’ (and not uncountable) and in the same way zero means ‘too few’ (and not nothing)
As an example, he said that if we take the diameter of the Earth as compared to distance between Earth and Sun, the diameter of earth can be said to zero since it is too small.
However, when we compare the same diameter of earth with the size of a grain, diameter of earth can be said to be infinite.
Hence, he concluded that the same thing can be ZERO and INFINITE at the same time, depending on the context, or your matrix of comparison.
The relationship between richness and poverty is similar to the relationship between infinity and zero.
It all depends on the scale of comparison with your wants.
If your income is more than your wants, you are rich.
If your wants are more than your income, you are poor.
I consider myself rich because my wants are far less than my income.
I have become rich not so much by acquiring lots of money, but by progressively reducing my wants.
If you can reduce your wants, you too can become rich at this very moment.
