Hi!!!
Trained and Qualified as a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering. Currently pursuing M.A in Political Science, at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
Favourite quotes: “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents come alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamt yourself to be.” -Maharishi Patanjali 2500 years ago.
“When you can’t do everything, you do your part … and point the way for others.”
“ If someone is mean to you, it’s a reflection of their unhappiness and how miserable they are, and not a reflection of you. “
“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to.”― Lao Tzu
“Politicians think of next elections, statesmen think of next generation”
“ The truth is, we can very well be the problem in our lives. Our attitudes, decisions, and desires, can very well be the instruments which cause us to work against our own best interest. If you find that you have been your own worst enemy, forgive yourself, and position yourself for change.”
“Where are you going”, “With luck, FORWARD”– Movie Ratatouille 2007
“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
“There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe,somehow you will
You will when you believe”

Hi, these are some fabulously inspirational and motivational quotes that you have posted here. Thanks for sharing it with us. I was wondering, if you are into reading ebooks, then may be you could check out my blog at your own leisure–my latest ebook: 12 Precious Anecdotes from Life has been released at Amazon, and I posted the synopsis at my blog. I wish you a great week ahead.
hope you haven’t got this before – http://betweenpoles.wordpress.com/2012/06/06/my-you-can-do-so-many-things-p/
Lot of valuable wisdom here. It is remarkable that the ideas of the ancients are so meaningful in our time.
I agree
If the ancients weren’t so wise, I feel we would still be barbarians… and in times of possibility of nuclear wars, am afraid we would come off worse than our ancestors..
Good day Asif,thank you for reading my post (64th.Ann.)l like your articles ,beautiful thoughts. Wishing you happiness and success.( your name in Arabic means ,many nice things.Jalal Michael Sabbag
Hey there, I found out the answer to why you’re not getting emails when I (and possibly others) post. You need to go to your reader and hit the “edit list” button next to Blogs I Follow. That will take you to a page of all of your blogs and there is a tab for each about email notifications. Most likely they are set to “never”, so you will have to change each to “immediately”. Hope this works!
Thanks for taking so much pain to inform me, but I already found the solution.. Earlier I had Hit the Follow link on the top bar… which changed to Unfollow, but it does not do the “Follow by email” function. So I clicked on the Follow button in the widget, which works fine
Good! Glad it got resolved!
Great quotes to live by!
Hi I am happy to be the 86th commentator here! Your blog is powered by the wisdom of quotes emanating from diverse sources especially Lao Tzu!

Rhonda
Thank u too for letting me know that u came by with kind words
Thanx a lot for the likes at my blog!
although I have no idea how u found it
You are welcome
I found it through your comment on Jennysserendipity Blog…
ohkay!
What! You are saying you do not want awards? How come?
I love blogging, it feels like an expanded resume of myself.. Likes and Comments make me happy, not the awards
Oh!! Well thank goodness that I saw that a few days ago (I just now thought to ask) because I wanted to nominate you for an award!
I just wanted to let you know that I like your blog enough to give it to you!
Hey!!! Thank u so much to consider me for nomination.. But I appreciate your continuous presence in the form of such sweet comments
Hi Asifa, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. My blog was deactivated by WordPress earlier this week because it got flagged as spam. I contacted WP to reactivate my blog b/c it’s not spam, and they did. However, things have been a little wacky since then. For example, for the last two days I have not had any international viewers– they’ve all been from North America. This is odd, because I normally have a few international views everyday. Will you tell me if my blog is coming through? I want to determine if A) my blog for some reason has a limited audience and if I should contact WP or B) no one outside North America is reading me, and in that case, I’ll just deal with it. Thank you for your help with this!
Amy
Hey..I have just read your recent posts and registered my opinion in the form of likes
Have a good day!!!
Thanks for letting me know! India did pop up on my international views. This has been a weird WP week.i appreciate your help!
