40 Beautiful Photos of India
India is the land of colors where different cultures and people live together prosperously. It is a mystic land and is rightly called as the land of prayers. People of different ethnicity and religion live in India and call it their motherland. Basis of these different ethnicity and religions can be found in the country’s history.

It has been ruled by Hindus, Muslims as well as Christians from time to time. These rulers have built incredible buildings that are a landmark of this country. Most of the heritage buildings were built by Mughals who ruled the country for more than 300 years. The most important building of them all, the Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan -a Mughal ruler- in memory of his wife, Mumtaz. Anyone who has been to India knows the importance of these buildings and what they mean in terms of the historic value.

What are the best ways to overcome writer's block? - Quora
Stop Mid-Sentence. Ernest Hemingway made it a practice to stop writing whenever he was on a roll. By cutting himself off in the middle of a great idea—sometimes even mid-sentence—he gave himself a prime beginning spot for the next day. Instead of floundering around, wasting time in search of a new batch of inspiration, he could simply pick up right where he left off the day before.


Excellent tips.

What’s the most useful piece of advice you’d give a student?
The first thing you do when you take a piece of paper is always put the date on it, the month, the day, and where it is. Because every idea that you put on paper is useful to you. By putting the date on it as a habit, when you look for what you wrote down in your notes, you will be desperate to know that it happened in April in 1972 and it was in Paris and already it begins to be useful. One of the most important tools that a filmmaker has are his/her notes.

How to Steal and Get Rich
I tell my youngest, “Mollie, look on the Internet and see how other artists do their eyes and arms. I bet there are some Manga artists who even have videos on how to do it.”

She says, “but that’s copying. I don’t want to copy. I refuse.”

So I tell her my favorite quote from Picasso, “Good artists copy. Great artists steal.” And my oldest says, “that would mean HE  stole.” And I tell her that’s right but still my youngest refuses to listen. She says, “I don’t want to copy.  I want to do something completely original.” But that’s impossible. Just about every idea worked on now is a result of the following recursive formula:

NI(X) = NI(1) + NI(2 )+ NI(3)… + MI

Where “NI” = “new idea” and NI1, NI2, etc equals various new ideas as of yesterday. And “MI” which could be a tiny component of the whole equation, is “My improvement”. Which, again, might be minimal, or zero, at best.

Three types of passion
"The world seems to be split into roughly three different types of people: Those who have a passion for nothing, those who have a passion for one thing and those who have a passion for everything. This way of categorizing is not to cast a value judgement onto any particular group. My informal observation is that aspects such as intelligence, courage, moral fibre and wisdom seem roughly evenly distributed across all three of these groups although it may initially not seem that way."

A Showcase of Minimalist Workstations
"No matter what your personal work style, an uncluttered and attractive workspace will improve the quality and efficiency of your work.
Getting rid of paper, digitizing your business cards, minimizing your office supplies are just some of the measures you can take to declutter your workspace and redesign your work life.
Working in an aesthetically pleasing and minimalist workspace enhances your creativity and focus."
