Quote

Being a physician, from medical school days, I had to let go a lot of social pleasures, weddings, parties and events. Now it does not even bother me. It still reminds me a quote by one senior physician when we started clinical rotations in med school: 

"A cat that dreams to be a lion must first lose its appetite for rats"

Khuda ki lathi (aik aur baat)

 Do batain to sab batate hain ke:

Khuda ki lathi be awaz hai

aur

Khuda ka haan der hai, andher nahi

Magar ye batana aksar bhool jaate hain ke: Khuda ki lathi us jagah paRti (strike) hai, jahan sab se ziyada takleef ho - izzat, shuarat, taqat, maal, makan, aulad, fun (skill), ilm ya kuch aur - jis cheez per insaan ko naaz ho wahi cheez cheen li jaati hai

Two philosophies on food in fridge

(My son was visiting from college)

"Dad, your fridge is always empty?"

"Yes, my son, I don't like to hoard food more than it's needed."

"If you ask Faraya Aani (aunt), she thinks the stuffed-packed fridge gives you a sense of being blessed by the Almighty, so don't complain about other things in life."

"I guess, we both are right!"
