  • To an ant on the ground, an airplane probably looks like an ant.

  • We can not escape tragic roads. It is like grasping at the sun & trying to catch air. We must take one step at-a-time. Keep going.

  • Now it would be as absurd to deny the existence of God, because we cannot see him, as it would be to deny the existence of the air or wind, because we cannot see it.

  • I want to go beyond the restrictions of language, religion and caste, and music is the only thing that allows me to do that.

  • My parents just tell me, ‘If you know what you want, you should stay determined and go for it. You can do anything.’
