मेरे बहुत से गाने मौत और ज़िंदगी की बेरुखी पर होते हैं। बस, इस बात को बार-बार खुद को याद दिलाना मुझे अच्छा लगता है, पता नहीं क्यों। और सच कहूँ तो, यह एक बेहद खूबसूरत अहसास है। मुझे लगता है कि नश्वरता को हमेशा ज़ेहन में रखकर जीना और हर चीज़ को उसी नज़रिए से देखना, इस दुनिया में जीने का एक बहुत ही खूबसूरत तरीका है।

A lot of my songs are about death and the fleetingness of life. It just feels good to remind myself about that a lot. For whatever reason. And it's a beautiful thing, actually. It seems to me like it's a beautiful way to live in the world and to relate to things, with an awareness of temporality.

आज पृथ्वी पर जितनी 6,000 भाषाएँ बोली जाती हैं, उनमें से 3,000 भाषाएँ अब बच्चों द्वारा नहीं बोली जातीं। एक ही पीढ़ी में, हम अपनी सांस्कृतिक विविधता को आधा खो बैठेंगे।

Of the 6,000 languages spoken on Earth right now, 3,000 aren't spoken by the children. In one generation, we're going to halve our cultural diversity.

बचपन में पड़ी छाप, हमारे जीन्स में मौजूद संस्कारों, या पिछले जन्मों के संस्कारों को बदलने के लिए कभी भी देर नहीं होती; इसका एकमात्र उपाय वर्तमान क्षण में सचेत (माइंडफुल) रहना है।

It's never too late to change the programming imprinted in childhood, carried in our genes or derived from previous lives; the solution is mindfulness in the present moment.

शिमला से दिल्ली जाने वाली ट्रेन में, एक स्टेशन पर कुछ देर के लिए ठहराव आया। ट्रेन हमेशा की तरह कुछ मिनटों के लिए रुकी। सचिन अपने शतक के करीब थे, 98 रन पर खेल रहे थे। यात्री, रेलवे अधिकारी, ट्रेन में मौजूद हर कोई सचिन के शतक पूरा होने का इंतजार कर रहा था। यह जीनियस शख्सियत भारत में समय को भी रोक सकती है!

On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This Genius can stop time in India!

एक तयशुदा मिशन हो जिसके लक्ष्य और समय-सीमा स्पष्ट हों। मैं कम से कम दखलंदाज़ी के साथ अपने स्टाफ पर भरोसा करना जारी रखता हूँ। ऐसे काम करें जिससे उन्हें महसूस हो कि उनका समय आपके लिए उतना ही कीमती है जितना आपके लिए आपका अपना समय। 'अकेले कदम उठाने' यानी जोखिम लेने से न डरिए।
