When I earned my first 300 rupees. I went to buy groceries for the house. And I bought small quantities of everything. Give me half kilos of lentils, give me this and this. And give me rice and sugar. And I gave it at home."

"And that feeling. No matter what you do, how much money you make. That feeling will never come again in my life. That you can give anything to anyone, but those groceries I gave to my mom worth 300 rupees. That was great feeling. While they are here, please spend time with them. It's very important, they don't want anything from you."
