00:00I heard that you were writing poetry sitting at one of the offices, the corporate offices.

00:06They had no work to give me. What else could I do?

00:09But was it excruciatingly painful for a person like this?

00:13It was very painful. I have been through long years of deep angst.

00:21It's far more relieving to fight and even die in an impossible battle than not to be able to fight the battle at all.

00:35In fact, it was at that time that I developed a special feeling for the character of Karan.

00:44He was not allowed to fight the battle of Kurukshetra as long as Bhishna Pitama was the commander of the Kaurav side.

00:53He said, you will sit there on the sidelines.

00:56And he was all the time just cooling his heels and wriggling his...

01:03I can't fight. I'm not being allowed to fight.

01:06Three and a half long years. I was just counting my days.

01:12And then just asking myself, when would the real battle start?

01:17I had a few debts to clear.

01:21And that was the only thing that was preventing me from calling it a day there.

01:26And the moment I was absolved of that burden, I just merely hopped out and did what I could.

01:36And today here we are.
