“[During childhood,] My friends would laugh at me [at my appearance] as well as for my big plans. They began to call me, Shaikh Chilli, a legendary character with big dreams and no action. They joked, "When all the matter in your head dries up it will shrivel like stale bread. Think a little, about a little. It is better for your future."

“Do you know who I am (The Sonnet) Oh, so many times have I heard, Do you know who I am! So today when I travel places, I walk around as a total lamb! There's an immense relief, In not flashing my name. Windbags make all the noise, Beings with character stay inane. Be an elephant, strong yet gentle, You observe more by being a dumbbell. Blow your top when it's really needed, Otherwise, be good people among the people. All roads lead to people, not to mythical Rome. Names aloof from people have no living role.”
