signs and wisdom

Here are a few signs I've seen:

Billboard with words only: My father is the best. He wears a helmet.

Obey the traffic rules...

Don't use mobile phones while driving.

Some quotes from people I've met on this journey:

"For every problem, there is a solution." said by Jyotsna after the florist called at 4pm to say she couldn't do the flowers for the 8:00 event that night because her daughter's birthday party was getting bigger than she had planned. Jyotsna said she could have yelled at her, but what good would it do; she had already made up her mind. So, Jyotsna found another florist friend who provided very nice table decorations for the outdoor cocktail party/banquet.

"Life is beautiful. Enjoy it." parting blessing from Smriti's grandfather to me. He had a recurrence of a medical problem 2 days before the wedding, and was not feeling very well for those days, but he did make it to the wedding for the most important part, and was there to give the blessing of the grandfather, which brought tears to my eyes.

"If everyone was in bed early and asleep by 10 p.m. with their meal digested, cancer would virtually be eliminated from the planet." AW quoting Dr. K. (From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. is pitta time when the body's energy is directed toward purification. Giving the body this time to do it's job makes the body purer and leads to more clarity of mind and better action during the day.)
