Thank you Dad... for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but, especially, for just being you! Happy Birthday to you

I don't consider myself a heartthrob in any way. I'm just pinching myself. I'm truly fortunate to be a part of this whole process.

The true test of any scholar's work is not what his contemporaries say, but what happens to his work in the next 25 or 50 years.

I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour, but sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.
