Pravin Tambe is bigger inspiration than me for young cricketers

I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.

No dream is ever chased alone.

You don't play for revenge, you play for respect & pride

There is an element of mystique to radio, and I often listen to cricket commentary on radio, especially when one is stuck in a traffic jam.

I started riding bikes when I was really young, but I stopped when I was 19 because my mother asked me too, so I stopped riding for 35 years and now I'm just addicted. It is my only addiction...

This life is a gift, and to reject that gift or abuse that gift is not human and not worthy of us.

I make a good fried chicken.

I still didn't look at him. I was afraid if I did that, I would turn around, run back to him, and hurl myself into his arms.
