The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered …
“Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Hmm, what to write here ?? Big Q. I'm kindda silent. Like to get involved into my own world, like good n honest friends. Listening to music and instrumentals is my favorite past time. Also would love to go for morning walk everyday in lush green forest :). Want to learn systhesizer but don't know when that dream will become true. Like to discuss technical and sometimes philosophical things.
Hobbies :

Favorite Movies :
Titanic, Harry Potter, Juno, Enchanted, My fair lady
This is one of my favorite quotes from H.H., I think it is a powerful reminder to live life to the fullest, and to focus on the things that truly matter.
Yes … very true.
