“It [the Quit India Resolution] was very far from being the Gita, but like Gita it suffered from flood of explanations, commentaries, and interpretations.”

“I got into the ICS in a pleasantly casual fashion. When I went to England my mother had impressed on me the need to appear for the competitive examinations which I had no intention of doing . (my heart was set on a carrier as a photo journalist). After I had refrained from taking my first shot at the exam , my mother lost patience - and also perhaps some of her abounding faith in an only child and sent me all the forms duly filled up for the ICS. She also indicated delicately that if I did not appear, my allowance would die a sudden death. I appeared; much to my surprise, I got in. Even more to my surprise I topped the list of Indian candidates, and ever since then I have had no faith in competitive examination”

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
― George Bernard Shaw

“असल बात तो यह है कि मज़हब तो सिखाता है आपस में बैर रखना। भाई को है सिखाता भाई का खून पीना। हिन्दुस्तानियों की एकता मज़हब के मेल पर नहीं होगी, बल्कि मज़हबों की चिता पर। कौव्वे को धोकर हंस नहीं बनाया जा सकता। कमली धोकर रंग नहीं चढ़ाया जा सकता। मज़हबों की बीमारी स्वाभाविक है। उसकी मौत को छोड़कर इलाज नहीं।”
