Think over it once>>>

01. The greatest bliss is that the innermost thought CAN remain undivulged. If others knew what we ‘can’ think, there could be a war everyday.
02.
I want to live in the world on my terms – Hemmingway
03. Do the best things in life come free or is there no free lunch?
04. Do good intentions justify mismanagement?
05. Treat to the one who explains to me James Joyce’s Ulysses.
06. What did Vaughan mean when he said, “I saw eternity the other night”?
07
. Is Jackie Chan a masochist? Otherwise, why does he hurt himself in all the films and have it shown to us in the end of the film.
08. What would a refrigerator or a train be called if a ‘Telugu’ or a ‘Hindi’ man were to invent them?(there are no words for these things in these languages)
09. The word ‘like’ has the maximum number of meanings.
10.
What would all those on-looking foreigners be thinking when our heroes and heroines rehearse/shoot for dance/song sequence for our movies in those foreign locales?
11. Can your current ‘good deeds’ cleanse of your ‘past sins’?
12. Will people stop calling Photocopy as "XEROX"?
13. Will maidservants stop asking for ‘surf’ when they want washing powder.
14. Rebel destroys the system; revolutionary transforms it.
15. Culture is a way of life; not something, which happened in past; nor something, which is preserved in museums.



Post Scriptum:
Point 2 – That he later committed suicide is a different matter.
Point 4 – Behind Nehru’s misplaced planning on making India a superpower through socialistic philosophy were good intentions.
Point 10 – It is more interesting to watch these people in the background (with question mark on their faces) than watch our heroes and heroines dance.
Point 14 – In India, many activists do rebellious/destructive activities in the name of revolution /constructive activity (Medha Patkars of the world included).
