I think goodness is about how person behaves to person, and also person to world, to nature.

So many Indian novels, quite unfairly, do not get the prominence they should because they have been written in a language other than English.

Why do writers, say, give up a job in economics and decide to write poetry? Or, why do they give up a job in a bank and decide to paint, like Krishan Khanna? They want to convey something.

I think goodness is about how person behaves to person, and also person to world, to nature.

I don't pick and choose subjects or settings; they pick and choose me.

Don't put things off till it's too late. You are the DJ of your fate.

Everyone sort of sees his own life and times as being ephemeral. One thinks that everything good or important that happened, happened in the past. But I think that seeing scenes that you are used to, but with the heightening effects of poetry, perhaps makes you value your life and times more than you might otherwise do.
