Codename Quotas

Yes, my ardent followers.. i have just obtained yet another nickname to add to the numerous glorious, and not so glorious ones i have donned in the past.. Quotas.
Weird name? Not my fault, i didnt give it to me. But i see a bit of sense, and quite a bit of vanity in it, so i decided to advertise it to the rest of the world.
Now, Quotas isnt supposed to show me as a person who has an immense array of quotes that he uses in his daily jibberish.. but its more about being a person who lives by an immense array of quotes.
The name of the person who initially suggested the name shall not be mentioned here, because i am sure some of you might want to murder her for giving my ego more feed. And anyway, this isn't about her.. as always, its about ME.
So then, what quotes do i live by? plenty. A lot of them are the commonest ones that everyone knows of, but noone pays heed to just because they are too cliched. I have learnt, though, that every so often, its the cliched things that end up to be the right ones. Anyway, i will leave the deciding of which quotes i live by to you, in the meantime, i shall fulfil my duty as Quotas - help the world see the quotes they may live by.
Basically, for ages now i have been trying to look for a way to be able to write consistent blogs, but was not able to find of a way i could maintain my interest and the readers'. The readers part may still not hold, but then, quoting some great person - you never know, till you know.
Now then, here's Quotas, giving you the quote of the day for today :



"A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic".

Now, i know you have heard this quote before, and you liked it when you heard it and all, but then you just ignored it, and life went on as it had been going. Time to delve a little deeper into it this time..
Life, we all say, is all about success, happiness and respect. Happiness, we know, comes if you get respect and have success. Respect, comes from success. So basically, Life is all about success.
Now, what does this success mean? Success means, to be better off than other people in your department. Yes, it isnt just energy and mass that are relative to each other. Everything in the world, atleast in the human world, is relative. Whatever you do, is good if you do it better than the others do it. What i mean is, if you buy your first ever television set, a grand, brand new 21 inch Flatscreen Onida KY Thunder with a digital remote and all.. you would normally be very happy.. but then, if the very next day, 'Baaju waale sharma ji' buys a Sony 42 inch Plasma, it takes away the joy the new TV bought somewhat, doesnt it? "the grass is always greener on the other side" - pun intended. Thus, its all about what you do, with reference to what others do, that counts. So, if during our struggle for independence, our other leaders also wore weird dhotis, and no shirt to speak of, and rested their burdens on a crooked stick, maybe the Mahatma wouldnt have been the Mahatma, he would have been just another one of them. Thats the hindsight of the quote for today.. its all about doing it alone, and doint it differently from the rest. If everybody's dying, big deal.. but if you're the only one.. you ARE the only one.
So my suggestion, follow the quote.. 'cause if it werent worth following, it wouldnt be a cliched quote. And how do you follow the quote? Be different. Colour your hair a bright silver and gold colour, wear pants that are translucent at just the 'right' areas, use the language that you wouldnt expect anyone else to, do things in public that will make people notice. Afterall, thats what life's all about, being noticed. So go on, get noticed, and send me a thank you chocolate when your mission has been accomplished.
Hence our new journey begins.. to be continued shortly.
Till then folks, Wahey.
