We couldn't be everywhere, we couldn't see everything, and it was inevitable that some things would escape us.

If you only knew what it did to me to have lived in that house where the police were bursting in to take everyone away! I certainly didn't have a happy and serene childhood.

There exists no politician in India daring enough to attempt to explain to the masses that cows can be eaten.

We couldn't be everywhere, we couldn't see everything, and it was inevitable that some things would escape us.

If by happiness you mean instead an ordinary contentment, then yes - I'm fairly contented. Not satisfied - contented.

I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.

I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.
