Poverty has different dimensions. It's not hunger. It's suffering. And even indignity of being in a lower caste, that is also a part of poverty. So I find all these activities that I embarked on, they're closely interrelated, though you may not see it as such. Somebody may argue that I did, doesn't fit in with poverty is lead poisoning. That's an urban problem more than anything else.

But I would argue even there, who suffers most is the poor people in slums who have no way of protecting themselves, who are right next to a factory that is fabricating lead. They are the ones who are suffering. So it's also a poverty issue. So everything I've done has some connection, may not be directly visible, but some of them are directly connected.

I was barely 18 when I was sent up there. My first posting was to the Himalayas. The Chinese had invaded India through a pass called Salem Pass, and that is 14,000 feet above sea level. At that time, the highest battleground anywhere in the world. And there's a young man set up there with some 300 soldiers to establish a gun position. That's the background. And I was alone as an officer there.

And the experience I had for 11 months, digging and blasting rocks and establishing the guns and afraid that the Chinese might come through it, that was very educational. I learned to make things happen on my own, motivate the soldiers. and also endure the conditions under which I was living for 11 months. It was always snowing and minus degrees and everything else, a lack of oxygen.

And I think it has helped me all through my life. I learned how I could keep the morale of the soldiers high. And that lesson carries on even today.

Yes, certainly. During my stay up there, I was alone as an officer and I used to climb one of those little hills up there. Already we were 14,000 and I would sit there only because I could see the sky below me. The clouds were floating below me, and it was absolutely magnificent to sit up there in endless range of mountains and valleys.
