130: SHIQURDU 13

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd sounding name, but felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., hindi and english). Although in some cases the language has been simplified but attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep meaning messages.

आहिस्ता चल ए ज़िन्दगी,

कुछ हसरतें अभी अधूरी है,

कुछ काम भी और ज़रूरी है

 

 

78

बचपन को साथ रखियेगा जिन्दगी के शाम में,

उम्र महसूस न होगी सफ़र के मुकाम में.

 

 

79

जिंदगी –

कल तक तेरी रफ्तार की मिसालें

आज सिर्फ तेरी खामोशी के चर्चे

 

 

80

फ़क़ीर मिज़ाज़ हूँ मैं,

अपना अंदाज़ औरों से जुदा रखता हूँ..

लोग जाते हैं मंदिर मस्जिद,

मैं अपने दिल में ख़ुदा रखता हूँ।।

 

 

81

मालूम है की ख्वाब झूठे हैं

और ख्वाइशें अधूरी है

पर ज़िंदा रहने के लिए

कुछ गलतफहमियाँ भी तो ज़रूरी हैं

121: Best of William Roger: Humorous Yet Deep Meaning

William Penn Adair Rogers was an American stage and film actor, cowboy, humourist, newspaper columnist, and social commentator. He was the most sought after live entertainer and had a way with words. His quotes reflect humour and philosophy on life which is relevant even today.

 

Out of hundreds of his quotes, the best ones which I like are below:

 

 

“There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.”

 

 

“The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.”

 

 

“Never miss a good chance to shut up.”

 

 

“There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.”

 

 

“Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.”

 

 

“Letting the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back.”

 

 

“Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today”

 

 

“Golf is good for the soul. You get so mad at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.”

 

 

“Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.”

 

 

“If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”

 

 

“Never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco.”

 

 

“If you’re riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there.”

 

 

“After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut.”

 

 

“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people that they don’t like.”

 

 

“Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.”

 

 

“Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.”

 

 

“The health of nations is more important than the wealth of nations.”
