“It is not very often that an opportunity comes knocking. But when it does, you better be bathed and dressed and ready to answer its call.”
“Life really is a most whimsical thing. While we consistently try and chart its route, it goes ahead and takes its own turn. Just follow the paths it lays out before you. And you may find, at some sudden turn, a miracle waiting just for you.”
“Writers are like actors too. For every story we create, we must get under the skin of the characters and role play with our writing.”
“Raah mein kaante ho, to hoSada manzilon ka armaan rakhnaPankho mein zor ho, na hoMagar hauslon mein uraan rakhna”
“Creativity is a magic wand that works two ways. When you set it in action and seek to create something, it does not just brings into existence that object or work, it also raises in your heart a dream, a hope, and a will to achieve that creation. And when all else seems lost and steeped in hopelessness, the magic of creativity can still keep you going. For when all else seem dark, an urge to create something would still give you an aim to look forward to. And if you just take hold of this urge, it will take hold of you and see you through even the darkest times. Like it did to me.”
“Pain is not a medallion that you must weigh your bosom with,it's a force you must fight against and never, never let it win”
“It might be a dungeonof suffering and pain fullyet this life is worth livingand this world is beautiful.”
“Dreams are one treasure that God has bestowed on everyone without any discrimination.”
“No book can be written till it wants to be written, till it shouts to be written, and raises up a persistent din in the writer's head. And then, if you want peace, you just have to pull it out and freeze it in print. Nothing less would do.”
