So we grew up in an environment where everybody was being pushed.

And we were being pushed because we were growing up in an environment where India had just come out of 350 years of British rule.

And it was trying to find its place in society.

And we were looking at other countries and saying, wow, you know, there could be growth.

There can be innovation.

The economy could get a whole lot better.

And so everybody needs to pull themselves up to contribute to the country in order to make the country better.

So that was the goal to push young people.

And so you sit there going, I have to pull myself up.

The family pushed you, but you have to pull yourself up.

Everything in my childhood was about that.

It was about working hard, being a team member at home, doing chores, not having much money at all, but lots of discipline.

Freedom within the frame.

That's what I remember.

But work hard, study hard and be viewed as a reliable person.

If you promise something, deliver it.

Unless you're dead, you will deliver it.

I actually came here, I was in awe of everybody I met.

And I tell you why, because there we worked hard because the simple things in life we didn't have.

You know, if you wanted to iron your uniform, half the time there was no power.
