Modi is marching forward on the basis of the BJP's philosophy.

It is the daydreaming of some people who live in a make-believe world who think you can make roads, hospitals, and railways without any social impact!

From an organisation point of view, I want the BJP to be the bright national political party in all the states of India and having an impact on social life.

BJP is ready to go to any extent to protest for the rights of Ayyappa devotees. Beliefs should be respected. Man-woman equality is must, but gender equality cannot be established by giving entry to men and women together. There are several temples that deny men entry.

Emotional life is - alongside work - one of the great challenges of existence and is a theme that I keep returning to.

Well, in my job, I avoid political commentary.

When they meet a stand-up comic, people sometimes remark: 'That must be the hardest job in the world.' Among comedians, only Freddie Starr is not embarrassed and slightly appalled by this remark.

Loving oneself isn't hard, when you understand who and what 'yourself' is. It has nothing to do with the shape of your face, the size of your eyes, the length of your hair or the quality of your clothes. It's so beyond all of those things and it's what gives life to everything about you. Your own self is such a treasure.
