As long as we place millions of Indians at the canter of our thought process, as long as we think of their welfare, their future, their opportunities for self realization we are on the right track.

Our purchasing power, our economic strength, our marketplace all depends on the prosperity of our people.

I think it's probably true that creative people are touched by melancholy more than the average person, and to the extent that delving into that shadow world produces good work, I'm all for it.

Writing should be a way out of despair.
