It was only in South Africa that I got over this shyness, though I never completely overcame it. It was impossible for me to speak impromptu. I hesitated whenever I had to face strange audiences and avoided making a speech whenever I could. Even today I do not think I could or would even be inclined to keep a meeting of friends engaged in idle talk.
I would like [the working man] to give me back books and newspapers and theories. And I would like to give him back, in return, his old insouciance, and rich, original spontaneity and fullness of life.

Dhanteras Me Barse Dhan,
Diwali Par Khush Ho Jaye
Mann, Gobardhan Kare Khush
Haal Aapka Jeevan, Bhaiyadooj
Bhi Pyar Bhara Ho Aapka Ye
Bandhan..! Happy Diwali..
In phoolo me ab to mehek hi nahi hai,
In raaho ki ab koi manzil hi nahi hai,
Kar leta mai mom agar koi patthar dil hota to,
Par yaha to kisi me insani dil hi nahi hai…
An age is the reversal of an age:
When strangers murdered Emmet, Fitzgerald, Tone,
We lived like men that watch a painted stage.
What matter for the scene, the scene once gone:
It had not touched our lives.
As You Celebrate Your Special Day,
Here’s What I Wish For U,
May Your Birthday Grow Happier By The Minute,
And Give You Reasons To Smile All Year Through,
