"Keep your eyes on the prize, focus on your focus through all the distractions and disappointments that will come. And they will come. Stop wasting prayers on asking for an easy ride through life because that doesn’t exist. Stay focused on your goal and if you have to pause, pause."
"I’ve received a fair amount of recognition professionally this year and it has been a humbling and exciting thing for me.

"The thing with music is that it reaches us emotionally in a way that words alone cannot. Music is a uniting force that people from all walks of life can have in common; some have even called it the strongest form of magic.

Because not only do you get to bask in beautiful sounds, but you also get to meet some beautiful people who share the love of music with you."

Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
