India has to be transformed into a developed nation, a prosperous nation and a healthy nation, with a value system.

Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?

Each individual creature on this beautiful planet is created by God to fulfil a particular role. Whatever I have achieved in life is through His help and an expression of His will. He showered His grace on me through some outstanding teachers and colleagues and when I pay my tributes to these fine persons, I am merely praising His glory. We are all born with a divine fire in us.

No sanction can stand against ignited minds.

I was willing to accept what I couldn't change.

Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.

Let not thy winged days be spent in vain. Whenonce gone no gold can buy them back again.
