I was a happy person before marriage. I'm definitely happier after marriage.
I don't think I'm competing with anyone. I don't mean to sound Zen, but genuinely, when I stopped competing with anything is when I started enjoying my work and that brought out the best in me. I'm living in a universe of my own and I'm enjoying that. I love to appreciate other people's work.

The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses.
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
