He said "I am sad that I am not near my mother. She is relaxing at our home in Kochi. I came here thinking that I could return in two days. I see and talk to her everyday through video calls. We cannot do anything about it, can we? Things like these aren't anticipated by anyone."

He said "It is from your mother that you learn the first habits in your life. I may have felt that I should help others just as my mother had taken care of my father. I don't do anything consciously. All the friendships in my life are the ones that I have sought or pursued. I didn't earn their friendship waiting for them to come to me. I am someone who believes that you should pursue the good minds."
