00:00That's how I grew up.
00:02There is Chacha Chaudhry here, and then there are the Upanishads here,
00:06and then there is something by Premchand here,
00:09and then there is something by Tolstoy here, you know, some stories.
00:13So one moment I'm enjoying Indrajal comics,
00:16the other moment I'm reading Cancer Ward, which was a Nobel-winning work,
00:21and these two are coming together to me.
00:24And then there would be Tar Saptak, then there would be Maxim Gorky.
00:27But this was extraordinary.
00:29And it was drawing with the child's mind.
00:32He would never reveal anything completely.
00:35Ah, the father of the Upanishads.
00:38He would incite you in a subtle way,
00:40and then leave you to find things out on your own.
00:43And how would I find my answers then?
00:44By dumping the Upanishad and returning to Dr. Jhatka.
00:47Trend continued.
00:48As I grew up and reached my teenage,
00:51there were all kinds of unmentionable books as well that would be there.
00:56But the Upanishads held their place.
00:57And that has kind of stayed with me.
