The fact that I have an ideology, however, doesn't mean I'm indoctrinated.

I certainly won't have an empty life!

I began to travel by myself, in Europe, when I was eight years old. At that age I was already on the move between India and Swizerland, Switzerland and France, France and England. Administering my own finances like an adult.

Naturally, if the Americans had fired a shot, if the Seventh Fleet had done something more than sit there in the Bay of Bengal...yes, the Third World War would have exploded. But, in all honesty, not even that fear occurred to me.

I don't care if I remain prime minister. I'm only interested in doing a good job as long as I'm capable and for as long as I don't get tired.

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

I can't take it seriously when people get excited and scream that religion is in danger, and similar stupidities.
