BELIEFS / QUOTES


"Sharing is Freedom and Integrity"


"The Best is enemy of the Good" or "Good is better than the best"

This the most fundamental question, do we need good or best. Although everyone appreciates the best, majority of them have access to only good things in life. Anyway today’s Best is tomorrows Good as tomorrows best replaces its position. As long as you don’t know the best, everything is good. It is easy to access good things in life than striving and wasting time for the best things, which retain their title only for few days and any day turn up as the good.

This question was always in occurred to me while designing the stoves. Putting effort to design the best stove takes lots of efforts. Although as a scientist working in a lab, it matters between 0.1 and 0.01. For community they want only a good thing, as they experience. The data does not matter. Within good they define many aspects irrelevant for a scientist. They will compromise on certain factors in appreciation of other factors, which are irrelevant to the scientist., share the good and any day we are striving for the best, best was the target, after achieving, it is good, the future challenge is again for achieving the best.

"There are always challenges at every stage in our life, overcoming them is what life is all about"

"Life is simple don't make it complex"

"Our Progeny is Past, Present and Future"

"Too much is bad, some is good, too little is poor"
