If there is one single gift that I wanted from God - it would be HEALTH till I die! No hospitals, no medicines - let me just fall down playing when my time comes. I shall serve his special people - THE CHILDREN - till my last breath and heart beat.
I have lived enough for myself - I NOW WANT TO LIVE for children - to see them gain confidence to face life through the medium of basketball. To become good human beings and develop the spirit of sportsmanship. Every day I get up and polish my skills so that I could become a `role model' for them.
Maximising their joy which in turn gives me `reason to live' - let God take me away when my time comes - from the playground!

NEVER WIN FROM A LESSER PLAYER - YOU WILL LOSE!
What is it that makes me `think'. God - my instinct or something else; I don't know. While driving to Tumkur a few days ago - I got the following thought. Whenever you lose from a lesser player - YOU WIN! Vice versa is also true - when you win from a lesser player - YOU LOSE!
When I am defending against a child who is very small - I take out my tongue and wiggle at him, refusing to lift my arms. In no time, the child is able to complete his or her basket - KNOWING FULLY WELL, that I won't lift my arms for defense.
A PLAYER WITH CONFIDENCE IS BORN!

I AM NOT `ME' ANYMORE!
In front of my very eyes, you have defiled my god, and you ask me to stay calm. How can I? These gods are the last hope of my life `being fulfilled', - you take away my last hope and ask me to stay calm. How can I?
You give me some zombies and tell me to make into them gods. How can I?
I don't think I am `ME' any more. Thanks to you.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO STOP YOU!
From mere walking, I am now trotting along at a high speed. Naturally the question comes `WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO STOP YOU'. If this question is put to me when a tournament has ended - my answer is easy: My mind and body together shout NO MORE TOURNAMENTS. Dead tired, it is easy to answer.
The problem begins on the next day morning. As I concentrate for four days on my business, ideas come of what can be done, these ideas keep hovering in my mind till I take a decision of another tournament.
It takes me a tournament to stop. It takes me a tournament to start.

GO TO REMOTEST VILLAGES - GO TO THE SMALLEST SCHOOLS - GIVE THEM A BALL AND A HOOP - THAT IS THE MISSION OF MY LIFE.
My calling has come. As yours will - one day. I intend to go to the remotest hamlet with my basketball and a ring. I want children to play this game. This is my way of saying that 7/3 was written for me so that one day I would discover it.
I promised couple of children near Shivagange that I would come and teach them basketball. I told them that I am forgetful and that they should call me again and again. One TASHMIYA has started calling. A tear of joy rolls down my cheek as I write this. YOU HAVE CALLED - I SHALL COME. I shall keep my promise.
God has willed that we meet - God has willed that I should hold your hands and teach you how to shoot a basketball. In essence, God has ordained that I should serve you - I should make you play and laugh and enjoy in your company. TASHMIYA - what does it mean? Urdu names are always extraordinary sounding - they delight as nothing does.

THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION? MASS CLONING OF HUMANITY!
As I have meandered in my `learning' or call it `education' - I have seen how we are taught to `rote repeat'- the better `rote' it is - the higher the intelligence! What a great mockery of intelligence.
Long ago, our ancestors too did this. Chanting of vedas was done to understand the environment - the purpose of our life and for uplifting mental supermacy and reach an `ananda' or moksha. But slowly the `chanting' became more important - the rituals predominated over `the real actions'. A downfall into the abyss started with no turning back.
Education should have uplifted us mentally. It should bring out the `humane' nature of humanity. But look around you - does it? Far from it - it brings out the `selfishness to possess material things' - the more you have - the more you want. The license to `loot' once you have BA or BSc - the `feeling' that you are `important' begins to grow. The chanting loses its meaning because there is no meaning.
To be human - one must `de-educate' oneself. You question every wall that is built around you - NO, YOU BREAK IT DOWN and step out - hardly anyone does that now. Clones donot have the `genes' that would allow such thinking.
Education maximises misery for the entire living world. It erodes values - it pollutes environments - it creates Frankenstein monsters who get hungrier as they feed on our bodies and minds. Education takes away our humanity - it destroys `nature of being a human'. It creates boundaries where there should be none. It creates `classes', `castes' - the very thing it set out to remove. Education is a misery that every child must suffer - so that as he or she grows - THEY SHOULD NOT BE HUMANS - BUT CLONES!
It has taken me a generation of `introspection' to `de-educate' myself. I can breathe freely now. The only persons with whom I communicate are `new born infants' - I have one at home now, MY GRANDSON - AND I SEE HOW HE IS BEING POSITIONED FOR BEING A CLONE!
