“ | People always ask me how a single man can save the environment. If you contribute your bit, everyone may not follow it, atleast one or two will. It will have a multiplying effect (During an award ceremony in Chennai)[9] | ” |
He writes poem in his Blogspot account, one of his poem Exceptions
“ | I always thought that you are dear to me
Your every action will be guided by me only You wont go against my words But how come, I can except all these, all the time. Earlier my words were given due respect Not an inch shift was made on what I said But now I find no scope for my words May be with time, things happen like this only When I look at you with full of exceptions Who knows that you will be looking back to me With a carefree attitude, making me presume that Hey! Foolish fellow why are you after me With a shattered mind when I recall memories The famous saying comes to my mind “Exceptions is the main cause of disappointment” As if, this was written for me only Oh! Really am I not a foolish fellow How can I catch the shadow of an invisible thing Changing my exceptions seems to be the only solution But how come, can I change myself so easily |
” |
Philosophy[edit]
- If you fail to plan that means you plan to fail.
- If you contribute your bit, everyone may not follow it. At least one or two will. It will have a multiplying effect.
- If you want to change something about yourself, repeat your intentions over and over. Eventually your brain will get into a new pattern.
