That's why I chose to write only 13. Thanks for the question! (less)

“Focus on what you are and what you can rather than what others aren't & can't. You have to win; they don't necessarily have to lose for you!”
Alok Mishra

“Firm was my resolve
and fragile was my heart.
I saw many ends and many a start.”
Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha

“A man is made of emotions,
largely, and intellect – wit,
humour, rationale and that's it?
No! A man is the rob that hides a soul”
Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha

“Focus on what you are and what you can rather than what others aren't & can't. You have to win; they don't necessarily have to lose for you!”
