Protector saint
Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia may well be regarded as the patron Saint of Delhi. His ever-lasting message to all who look on Delhi with evil eyes ''Hunooz Dilli Door Ast - Delhi is still a long way away'', can never be forgotten.

Assigning divinity
As an agnostic I regard all religions as idolatrous in as much as they assign divinity to things created by themselves.

Diwali, then and now
This Diwali was depressing for me as I was not able to celebrate it. There were years when after having lit diyas in my home, I drove round the city to see how others were celebrating it.

Ninth joke book
I can do no better than reproduce the introduction I have written for my 9th Joke Book. It says all I want to say about my being an inveterate Joker. I was 94 when Joke Book 8 was published. I was sure that it would be the last series.

Celebrating marriage
It is for the first time that my secretary, Lachhman Dass, during his 30 years of working with me, dared to ask me: "When Sisters' Day, Raksha Bandhan, Fathers Day, Mothers' Day are celebrated, why not Wives Day or Husbands Day?

Tackling Urdu poetry
I am much beholden to Kuldip Salil in my understanding of Urdu poetry. His latest offering Best of Meer Taqi Meer: Selected Ghazals, Nazams and Rubaiyat with their lyrical translation in English and in Roman script further adds to the debt of gratitude I owe him. I can do no better than quote his own words in favour of the gratitude we owe each other.
