If India hadn't become a troubled space for me, somehow I wouldn't have any reason to write about it. So the fact that it's a lost love, or something, is why I keep thinking about it obsessively.

I'm not just saying this, but I love everything about India.

The Indians have such strong traditions and aesthetics, and the people are beautiful, as are their goods.

I love India.

The diversity of India, of our civilization, is actually a thing of beauty, which is something we are extremely proud of.

At the heart of all romanticism is suffering.

India is a land of plenty inhibited by poverty; India has an enthralling, uplifting civilization that sparkles not only in our magnificent art, but also in the enormous creativity and humanity of our daily life in city and village.

The world is waiting for us, the world wants to engage with us, the world wants to be friendly with us, the world wants to be our partner in prosperity, and the world admires India in many ways.

I am always fascinated by India.

India somehow constantly rivets and inspires me, and I feel very relieved to have come from this country which has a very 'lifeist' approach to living fully, no matter what one has or doesn't have.
