- A status-driven society fundamentally dislikes anyone going up in life.

- a) Neutral Sport – Cricket, not originated from Indian) Neutral Beverage – Tea / Coffee, not from India) Neutral Food – Pizza, not from India) Samosa (shockingly) is not from India. Khichdi is also not from India.

- I was once at Stanford and met a bunch of Indian and Chinese students and I asked every Indian student, ‘Wapas aa rahe ho?’ (Are you coming back to India?) And not a single person was coming back.

- My worry is that our skillset, our talent is not keeping up and general curiosity is very very low and everyone thinks ke ab padhai hogayi (studies are done)
