thnks Keshi for bestowing this blog with "brilliant weblog" award ...
Quotable Quote... (QQ) is a series that I had fortuitously started in my office; where I used to send a quote daily (almost) to people who had subscribed for it & by the time I stopped it a few years back, there were a whooping 550 subscribers across organizations :) This blog is to relive those quotes... All quotes are from a personalized collection, hand written in a notebook ... originally created by my aunt ... later inherited and augmented by me :) Cheers!!!

It sure is!
But simplicity isnt only abt portraying it..it's also abt LIVING it.
Keshi.
@keshi -> if one portrays it, it is not simplicity ... it is simply falsity :)
I will share one small thing - this quote again reminds me of a quote from a famous architect Mies Van De Rohe - you have been in Chicago - the Architecture building in IIT Downtown is his design -
he said "less is more" and was one of the forefathers of Modern Architecture....I am reminded of this because Da Vinci - probably one of the greatest artist/painter born...shares the same thought - and the crux of this is....the more simpler life you live - devoid or austentation - embellishments - both physical and emotional - the tougher it is - because the real YOU or in the above case the building are exposed...
Happy 50 and many more to come :)
(hope i dont sound like I got carried away :P - just that it pushed MY right buttons :)
@ceedy -> bro, I agree to each and every word of your comment ... Simplicity is one thing that I am a BIG fan of ... (of course that doesnt mean that one has to live in shabbles and stuff ... i guess you understand what i mean by simplicity here) ... i despise people showing off unnecessary sophisticated tantrums ...
thanks !!
Yes I agree....when you say you are a simple person - the general opinion of people is that you are stingy....it not really that - so I do understand...
on the trivial side - when I used to do real modern interiors back home - if used to cost more - as there was no room to hide mistakes with unneccasry embellishments :)
