The concept of karma is a beautiful concept in Sanskrit. The whole idea of karma is that every being has an innate tendency - the karma of ice is to be cold, the karma of fire is to burn, the karma of the trees is to grow and bear fruit. In the same way, a human has a certain thrust. What I've realized is that my thrust is to be in the world, like in the world of business.

What I need to do is to just deepen my well. I'm just experiencing life now.

What has happened in most of my books is the call to the extraordinary world, the hero's push, or that push has come to him.

There are people like me who are not there yet, who are still the eagle flying high right now, still experiencing more in the world and growing as a result of that - and that is my journey.

The first novel that I wrote was because I was having very interesting sorts of experiences, for Indians of my generation.

I think nothing, at an objective level, is either right or wrong.
