To be or not to be?

September 26, 2005 by Surya

Some questions remain timeless..

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;

Shakespeare (Hamlet’s Soliloquy)

Update: And the answer is..Not to be.

    Hi Surya,
    I am writing a paper for my graduate program and am planning to quote the lines under “who am I?” could you please tell me who the author is?
    Thank you.

    Shamly: Well, I wrote that. Just curious, what kind of graduate paper would that be appropriate for??

    Wow!Thats great!It is really beautiful. I am writing this paper on ‘Self as a tool’, where we need to explore the question ‘ Who am I?’ and I thought those lines would be perfect to begin my paper- that is if you are ok with it. In that case can I use your name too, underneath the poem? Please let me know.
