Everybody has equal opportunity, and I think that is true for everything.

I think that our fundamental belief is that for us growth is a way of life and we have to grow at all times.

Relationships and trust. This is the bedrock of life.

I personally think that money can do very little. And this has been my experience all across.

Really do a job and do it well.

Essentially, whoever is successful, whoever is going to do things that make a difference, is going to be talked about.

You have to manage money. Particularly with market economies. You may have a great product but if your bottom line goes bust then that's it.

In my father's language: "To create something out of nothing." That possibility exists in India even in old-world sectors like agriculture.

My big advantage was to have my father accept me as first-generation.

I don't think that ambition should not be in the dictionary of entrepreneurs. But our ambition should be realistic. You have to realise that you can't do everything.

As long as we place millions of Indians at the centre of our thought process, as long as we think of their welfare, their future, their opportunities for self-realisation we are on the right track.

My prayer

Dream, believe, strive, achieve.

One secret of life is that the reason life works at all is that not everyone in your tribe is nuts on the same day. Another secret is that laughter is carbonated holiness

In my books, women often solve the problem. Even if the woman is not the hero, she's a strong character. She does change the plot. She'll often rescue the male character from some situation.

My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.

The great advantage of being human is that we can employ rational thought and resolve to change our circumstances.

We always want to do things the way we like, that's why we never change.

Nobody can fight properly and boldly for the faith if he clings to a fear of being stripped of earthly possessions.

For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.

No age seemed the age of romance to itself.
