About this book

Quotes are typically sentences or phrases

someone has said in the past. They have
the power to convey the wisdom of an
entire human generation in a few simple
words strung together. If a quote resonates
with a reader, it typically represents a view
he/she personally relates to.

I have been fascinated by quotes since I

began writing. So much was my fascination
that many of my blog posts started with a
relevant quote that represented the gist of
the blog.

This book is an outcome of my hobby of

collecting quotes. It contains a quote for
each day of the year. Also, each day's
quote is from a person who was born on
that day* and who went on to achieve
great things. Accompanying each quote, is
a photo that I took during my morning
walks along the Munnekolala lake near my
home in Bengaluru.

About me

I am Sunil Prabhakaran and I go by my

online identity, 'LinusPee'. I am a techie,
writer, coach and entrepreneur from
Bengaluru (India) which has been my home
since 1999.

I have been fortunate to live close to a

few lakes in Bengaluru and have enjoyed
some long walks and jogs by them.

Between the years 2015 and 2019, I lived

near Munnekolala lake. Every morning,
besides catching a breath of fresh air, I
have clicked photos of the flora and fauna
around the lake that you will find in each
quote poster.

If you are more interested in other

aspects of my work, write to me at
linuspee@gmail.com.
About Munnekolala
Lake

Bengaluru is a city of lakes. At one point

in time, the city was bustling with a
thousand lakes. Had these lakes survived,
Bengaluru could have been aptly named
the city of thousand lakes. About 90% of
these lakes have been lost due to massive
urbanization in the late 20th and early 21st
Century.

Munnekolala lake is a restored lake

situated near Marathahalli (Latlong
12.960368, 77.708355). It is spread over 15
acres with amenities like a gazebo, a
jogging track and a childrens play park. It is
frequented mostly by local residents.
During the winter months, it does attract a
few migratory birds that make this lake
their summer home.
