I grew up being teased for being overweight.

My doctor told me that I drastically needed to lose weight. Fear of death and dying motivated meto make many lifestyle changes that led me to eventually shed over 100 pounds.

As I've evolved in life my writing process has taken a turn. I'm inspired by everyday life. I could be in the middle of something and hear a commercial. I enjoy songs writing themselves.

Music was my coping mechanism. I could place myself outside my body. It humbles you.

I may be deaf to the sounds of the world, but you have shown me how I can hear by seeing the color in your smile and feeling the touch of your hand in mine.

Time spent adding value is not wasted

Love is a perpetual journey that is extraordinary because it will never find itself terminated by a destination.

Dealing with corruption and staying calm is a talent most of us in India have mastered and learnt to live with.

Within-group conflict is always personal and emotional - even if it begins with impersonal issues.

You make choices and sometimes they're good and sometimes they backfire. The most important thing is to be brave, forgive yourself when you do something stupid, and allow yourself to move on.

The most difficult in the world must be easy in its beginning.

I attempt a difficult work; but there is no excellence without difficulty. [Lat., Ardua molimur; sed nulla nisi ardua virtus.]

If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
