Though it’s a small one but this thought keeps on coming thousand times in a day as our days have hundreds of cross roads waiting for a decision to be taken.<br /><br />Normally our mind takes the route that has been used by many than the route that is yet to be used and add to its choice it seeks some approval from something/someone, there comes the “Quote”. As you said, we should not become a prey to the quote and limit ourselves instead prove something difficult and different by walking in a road that has not been chosen before and become an ideal for others to quote:) <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275802243421888747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33429540.post-31933347457836428852013-02-10T21:32:26.738+05:302013-02-10T21:32:26.738+05:30Thanks Murali for your comment..

Yes, you can many times end up over-simplifying or going out of context, when you quote a proverb to prove something. But I think most readers would not be so naive to accept a proverb as proof or final word that settles an argument. Interesting post, Rajesh, thanks!K.B. Srinivasannoreply@blogger.com
