I was under police security for 15 years because I was on their hit-list. I opposed Khalistan because I thought it would be suicide for the Sikh community to demand a separate state, and they heard me because they knew I was one of them. I think I turned round at least the intelligent Sikh's point of view and that gave me enormous satisfaction.

I have never lost my temper. I let out my venom in my writing if I have to, but person-to-person, I have never lost my temper, never used abusive language.

[Sex] is of real interest to every human being and so why gloss over it, and it's fun, it's interesting, it has so many dimensions.

Friends meddle with my plan of work. I resent people dropping in for a chat.

I was unhappy with the jobs I did after law. I got into the diplomatic service. There again I had really little to do.

I did subscribe to the freedom movement and I was much closer to the Congress than to the Akali party. It is a communal party.

I think the sense of belonging does give you a certain amount of mental satisfaction.
