For waving good-bye, I thank you.

  • The writer is a definite human phenomenon. He is almost a type - as pugilists are a type. He may be a bad writer - an insipid one or a clumsy one - but there is a bug in him that keeps spinning yarns; and that bulges his brow a bit, narrows his jaws, weakens his eyes and gives him girl children instead of boys. Nobody but a writer can write. People who hang around writers for years - as producers did - who are much smarter and have much better taste, never learn to write.

  • We must reach out to villages even in scorching heat with temperature upto 44 C. We must ensure that no girl child remains illiterate.

They back me all the way.
