Just casual talks .. are sometimes remembered forever..

Some such words from 'my people' that impressed or influenced me..

"Everynight before you have your dinner.. Ask yourself what new you've learnt or done today.. If you don't get answer, don't eat."

"One who sleeps for more than 5 hours at high times of building his career.. is criminally killing time"

-Jayaraj, my senior in VCRC

Then and now.. I'm just the same.. I follow him.

"A rupee in mobile can at times be more valuable than a 100 in hand. Keep it"

-Sundeep, my friend

..when I used to ask him why he always looked for PCOs without using mobile I had

.. and very quickly i had a time which stamped this statement in my mind :-)
