There is no exploitation, neither selfishness nor selflessness. One grows by helping others grow. Is that not the perfect society?”
― Devdutt Pattanaik, Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana

“Love comes like lightning, and disappears the same way. If you are lucky, it strikes you right. If not, you'll spend your life yearning for a man you can't have.”
