तीन लड़कों की परवरिश करने में टेस्टोस्टेरोन यानी लड़कों जैसी ऊर्जा और जोश बहुत ज़्यादा होता है... मुझे नहीं लगता कि माता-पिता के रूप में आपको उन पर नियंत्रण रखना चाहिए, बल्कि आपको उनका मार्गदर्शन करना चाहिए। खासकर उनके अलग-अलग और ज़िद्दी स्वभाव को संभालना ही असली चुनौती है और इसी में आधा मज़ा भी है - उन्हें सही रास्ते पर बनाए रखना।

बात हमेशा प्यार की ही होती थी। हमेशा, हमेशा प्यार की। खोया हुआ प्यार, ठुकराया हुआ प्यार, प्यार के लिए एक दीवानगी की भूख। चाहे वह माता-पिता का प्यार हो या रूमानी। चाहे वह विकृत हो या पवित्र, पूरा हुआ हो या एकतरफा, हर चीज़ की जड़ में हमेशा प्यार ही होता था।

ऐसी बहुत कम चीजें हैं जो मुझे उत्साहित नहीं करतीं। मुझे अपना काम बहुत पसंद है और मैं इसके प्रति इतनी समर्पित हूँ कि छोटी-छोटी चीजें भी मुझे रोमांचित कर देती हैं - सूरज उगते देखना, समुद्र तट पर टहलना, जंगल में या समुद्र के किनारे दौड़ने जाना। मेरी सबसे पसंदीदा चीजों में से एक है अपने परिवार और सबसे अच्छे दोस्तों के साथ शानदार लहरों पर सर्फिंग करना।
