I've always wanted to write, but coming from a small-town background - I was born and brought up in Ludhiana - you think you're not the kind of literary person who will write books that will sell. There was always a kind of defensiveness in me.

My understanding is that a book becomes a best seller only when it is pirated, sold on footpaths and at traffic lights.

I look at every book as a new learning opportunity.

While a lot of management development books try to teach you a lesson or give you a scenario of what corporate culture and work practices are about, they're theoretical and written in a sermonizing way. Most people don't get past the first chapter, and they just look nice on the bookshelf.

There is a quiet about the life of a farmer, and the hope of a serene old age, that no other business or profession can promise.

In my career, I've found that anything can happen.

We're probably doing better business than we thought we would do especially considering the disappointing way the record company has handled the album.

There was a lot of other people that had their own song or their name in a verse in high school. I was just like, 'To stamp my high school career, I gotta get my name in a song.'
