Quote: Man in the arena #08

By Theodore Roosevelt on April 23, 1910,

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat!

The unbeatable power of words and wisdom, yet again!

A Slow Video

“Every decision in a sculpture has a lot of man hours associated with it…”

The video is about a perfectionist who loves to work with his hands… The whole time I was watching, time seem ‘ed to stop! The world went at the pace of the frames…  Exceptionally well done work!

A Nameless Post

There is something mind-numbing about silence and idleness.

It’s as if noise and chatter is the norm. It’s been around 2 weeks since my room-mates left.

Two weeks of quietness at home.

I guess I just miss them!

A Foolishly Romantic Song

So, another favorite song..

If you don’t understand the language Tamil (in which this is sung), that’s ok, just think of your loved one and the music will take care of the rest, it will carry you to the stars and beyond ..

If you do understand Tamil, then there is nothing like this!

Waka Waka

This one’s never tiring! For shakira or for the spirit (or for the day), I would n’t ever know!
