Why not writing

- I have got nothing new to say

- I am happy

- I am speechless

- Also, jo kuch mein kehna chahu, barbad karein alfaz mere

Quotes by Mohit Parikh  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Internet is puberty of society.”
Mohit Parikh, Manan

“Love is not a verb. Love is a noun. Love’s activity is people breathing, cells dividing, a dove taking a flight.
This grammar of life not all can see.”
Mohit Parikh, Manan

“Except that today, oblivious to everyone, there is a hair standing tall inside his shorts: a single hair: long, black and shining. Sprouting out of nowhere, it stands rebelliously erect on his tiny barren orb, not thwarted by the force of the cloth of his underwear, announcing its eventual arrival with élan.”
Mohit Parikh, Manan

“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.”
Carlos Castaneda

“For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I want to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.”
Carlos Castaneda, Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan

“Not all those who wander are lost.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you . . . Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question . . . Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use.”
Carlos Castaneda

“The dying sun will glow on you without burning, as it has done today. The wind will be soft and mellow and your hilltop will tremble. As you reach the end of your dance you will look at the sun, for you will never see it again in waking or in dreaming, and then your death will point to the south. To the vastness.”
Carlos Castaneda, Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan

Thank you for adding me and best to you too. Looking forward to reading your book reviews.


Trevor Hi Mohit, I was going to send you a message to thank you for adding me - I generally do when people write a message in a friend request, but there doesn't seem to be the ability to do that if the person is an author. Anyway, thanks for adding me. All the best. Trevor
