It's about a frog who had once decided to jump into a pond. That's it! That is the whole story. He is still contemplating. The most important part of writing a novel is to put the first word down o Read more of this blog post »

“I am not against marriage, but I like the idea of waking up each morning together and deciding to be that way for another day. I find that more powerful, liberating, and purer than a set of rules binding us. I want to be together not because the society permits us to, but because we want to, and because we are crazy about each-other…”

“I know it’s hard; maybe even impossible as it seems now. But what I understand by watching you for years is that you are nothing like anyone else. You always push your limits. You always push through the wall till it breaks down. That’s the Arya I know. But I understand that it’s all easy to say from where I stand. That’s one of the pitfalls of being father to an extraordinary child. It’s your pain. It’s your feet in your shoes. So, like it has always been, you have to do what you will. But, you must know one thing that you are not alone in this. I am here. Your family is by your side. No matter what the future may shape up to be, we will always be proud of you.”

“He was around one and a half years old when he first discovered the joy of running, and it was the last time he walked as a kid ever again. The floor was always red-hot-burning lava, and every piece of furniture was land. It was the same with bricks, stones, and the grasslands on lava covered roads. There were also times when he truly believed that he could fly. It resulted in three head fractures, with seven stitches, before turning five.”

“It’s hard for you to understand what goes on in parents’ mind. We have raised you to be someone, but now we will have no control over that. You are about to grow out of who you are and you will grow into a different man by the time this place is done with you. And that scares us.”

“There’s another thing I have to tell you all, in case you boys haven’t realized it yet. You all are not mere men. You are sportsmen. The difficulties of your life will be different from the other people. But, these difficulties will make you better and enhance you as skillful individuals. Never fear challenges, no matter how tough they seem. Be courageous at any point of your life, for anything that you need to do; that you have to do. Never be scared to take a chance even if that has the risk of making you look like a complete fool. The best things happen to those who aren’t scared of being courageous and taking that chance.’ Arjun Singh adjusted his spectacles and added ‘Unreasonable courage, even if for a moment, will open all doors to you.”

“Your greatness is not the set of skills you have. A man’s true greatness is his ability to carry himself with a true image that allows others to dream to be great too. You have to decide what kind of a sportsman you want to be. But, do me one favor; be the man whom the world can idolize.”
