I want people to bow as they see me and say he is gifted with poetry, he has seen the presence of the creator.
This question: ‘How do I deal with a bully without becoming a thug in return?’ has been with me ever since I was a child.
Wherever there is injustice, there is anger, and anger is like gasoline – if you spray it around and somebody lights a matchstick, you have an inferno. But anger inside an engine is powerful: it can drive us forward and can get us through dreadful moments and give us power. I learnt this with my discussions with nuclear policy makers.

Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.

All we ask is to be let alone.
