I have lived really short and relatively uneventful life. And yet some lessons have been learnt.

  1. Promise yourself that you will do one small selfless act everyday. (Even smiling and being polite when you really don’t feel like it will suffice) It feels great!!
  2. There are two kinds of aam admi : One who does everything that he is sure will not be harmful to him. One who doesn’t do anything that is not beneficial to him.(One will stop and help when he sees a road accident, the other will probably stare at it some time and move on)
  3. You are usually clueless about the things that people in the world are going through. News is only what the media decides to tell the world, what you grasp is only things that are likely to affect you directly.
  4. First you need to overcome adversity, then you need to become extremely rich..then you can become Oprah.
  5. One of the best joys in the world is seeing a baby who has just learned to walk wobble unsteadily towards you, with trust and admiration written all over his face.
  6. Yummy food and loud music may be junk, but they sure clear your mind like nothing else can.
  7. All relationships (including family friends and loved ones) are bounded by certain limits. Make sure you are just being sentimental when you say “What would I do without you”. You might just be given the chance to find out.
  8. If you want to be popular, be nice. If you say you don’t want popularity, don’t crib about the horrible public you are surrounded by.
  9. Don’t ask too many questions about life. Life is a boon. Remember that.
  10. Your family is your best asset. Every time you feel like complaining, remind yourself that you are taking too much for granted.
