'सांध्यपर्वातील वैष्णवी' हे कवी ग्रेसच्या कवितासंग्रहाचं नाव आहे. ग्रेसच्या पुस्तकाच्या नावाचा अर्थ विचारतोस तू? शिव शिव!!
शोनूने त्यावर छानच आणि समर्पक लिहिले आहे.

Recognize the fly, even love it if you want, but don't marry it.
-Natalie Goldberg, in Writing down the Bones

Natalie is describing how a writer, in a restaurant scene, can mention a fly, even the particular sandwich it walks over, name its species, but if she digresses too much in discussing the patterns of its wings and a mathematical discussion of its trajectory and such details unconnected to the scene where the reader is expecting the waiter to arrive or something else related to happen, how it can be a put-off.

DOW ५२७ पॉईंटस्नी पडला आहे (लिही पर्यंत व अजुनही जोरात नोझ डाईव्ह घेत आहे. A 9 percent slide in Chinese stocks. Is that the reason?)

फेब महीन्यात लोकांना Valantine Day चे वेध लागतात पण मला लागतात बजेटचे वेध. ICWA करताना आम्हा मित्रात एक compitition असायची की या वर्षी कुठला tax वाढेल वा कमी होईल. 80 L, 80 CCB अशा भयानक भाषेत आम्ही एकमेकांशी बोलायचो. वाटायचे की फार तिर मारलेत.

-J Krishnamurti, in The only revolution

सेंसेक्स १२७३६. वॉव. दिवाळीपुर्वीच दिवाळी. ह्या लक्ष्मीपुजनाला एक वेगळाच आनंद असनार आहे.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
-Terry Pratchett

Discworld fame Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite authors. Not all his books are equally funny, but some are amazing with insights and humour thoroughly mixed to great effect. "Truth" is by far one of the best I like.
