I was born in a very poor family. I used to sell tea in a railway coach as a child. My mother used to wash utensils and do lowly household work in the houses of others to earn a livelihood. I have seen poverty very closely. I have lived in poverty. As a child, my entire childhood was steeped in poverty.

A national festival is an occasion to refine and rebuild the national character.
We should not look at terrorism from the nameplates - which group they belong to, what is their geographical location, who are the victims. These individual groups or names will keep changing. Today you are looking at the Taliban or ISIS; tomorrow you might be looking at another name.
Social media is reducing social barriers. It connects people on the strength of human values, not identities.
The pace at which people are taking to digital technology defies our stereotypes of age, education, language and income.
