Happy the man,and happy he alone,
He,who can call today his own;
He who,secure within,can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst,for I have lived today.

Comet McNaught
It's probably visible from India now at dawn or dusk, pretty close to the horizon and near the Sun. It's a pity Bangalore is a concrete jungle. The horizon is artificially and immensely shrunken by the surrounding buildings and there's no way I can catch a glimpse of the comet from my terrace. What a pity! I would have loved to watch this heavenly spectacle.
Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. ... A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men.
