The following is Adapted from an article that appeared in the Sunday Observer, in 'Tribute to Gul Anand' , and appeared as part of an interview he had given to the venerable newspaper....

Similarly, i might appear to be indulging in small talk, but my mind is working at a high speed , absorbing all that happens and recycling it for future use."
