This time you chose 'Friendship' as the muse in your book 'Magic of Friendships'.What is the reason behind this?
There’s nothing more important in life than relationships. And no other relationship as important as friendship. Friends hold the crown position of all relationships. Friendship for me personally is what makes life special.
Most of your titles have the words magic, miracle, etc. Is it intentional? If yes, why?
It’s definitely not intentional. In fact, I’ve noticed it only now…after you pointed it out. I guess when you believe in God’s magic and miracles, a part of it enters your life as well.
In this book, you have taken many tales on friendship from the epics and ancient texts. Do you think the concept of friendship has taken a model shift from past to present?
Principles of friendship are the same in every era. What changes is the context? You can pick any friendship story from any yuga… any century…any country…any culture…the principles will never change. Friendship as a concept is eternal.
What is the fondest memory you had been a child with your friends?
The fondest memories of my childhood are that of playing football in the heavy rains in an empty field with my friends.
People generally make statements like ' I can do anything for my friend ' or ' I can give my life to my friend '. Do these statements really prove the feeling of friendship?
