"It’s hard because I’ve been through a lot. A lot has happened in my life and it’s not easy. Everything, when you start, it’s not really easy but I accepted that it’s not easy. So, when I accepted it, the process became easier, that’s how it is. I’m enjoying [the process]."
"I realized the value of taking a rest. Rest is a must. You don’t have to push yourself to the limit everyday. I also realized that we have to think about our decisions more carefully. Not only my life is at stake, but also others as well."

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.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
