Based on a work at /users/kapoor.
This work is being pursued with a philosophy of working without attachment expressed beautifully by Sri RamKrishna Paramhansa who once said, “To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.” |
Why repeat a lots of things ? |
Why repeat all this? Because there are new generations born every day. Because there are great ideas developed in the history of man, and these ideas do not last unless they are passed purposely and clearly from generation to generation. === Richard Feynman (1998) |
Many of the content are not my original, they are 'Other Men's Flowers'. My views on this issue resonate with the ideas in the article titled "Montaigne on “Curation,” the Illusion of Originality, and How We Form Our Opinions"
