Factors such as timing, luck, and destiny have a bearing on success. But success and failure are good teachers. Failure means something better is waiting for you. But I will allow myself to get upset at failure only if I know I have not given it my all.

I like men with honest, frank eyes. And that's the reason I cannot talk anyone who has their sunglasses on.
Yoga has always been a part of my life, and it has had a major effect on me as a person, inside-out.
I can put all the idols on my bed and sleep, I'm so fond of them.
I have no problems with failures, I'm afraid of failing within myself. At times when I know I did something wrong, I don't sleep that night. I'm scared of facing myself.
