I watched a lot of movies. I was deeply influenced by movies.

Normally writers do not talk much,because they are saving their conversations for the readers of their book- those invisible listeners with whom we wish to strike a sympathetic chord.

It is always the same with mountains. Once you have lived with them for any length of time, you belong to them. There is no escape.

To return to my own trees, I went among them often, acknowledging their presence with a touch of my hand against their trunks.

Hapiness is as exclusive as a butterfly, and you must never pursue it. If you stay very still, it may come and settle on your hand. But only briefly. Savour those moments, for they will not come in your way very often.

The India I Love, does not make the headlines, but I find it wherever I go - in field or forest, town or village, mountain or desert - and in the hearts and minds of people who have given me love and affection for the better part of my lifetime.

I mostly write short stories. They are best written in a continuous creative process. You have a feel of immediacy.
