"Durant: It can get a little frustrating after you take an L but overall, you get another opportunity to right the ship tomorrow, and practice film, so I'm grateful any time I get to step on the court, you know, and trying to finish this off right. But yeah, after games, it gets a little frustrating and in the moment when we are having a bad stretch, yeah, it get a little frustrating. Reporter: Do you enjoy the game as much? Durant: Ay, come on now, shit. There is beauty in the struggle, you know. There is beauty in it. There is beauty in all the stuff, especially when you come out the other side of things and you realize that pressure and hard times made you better. So I think we can all pull from these experiences to get better and use them for the next game, but the worst thing we could do is feel sorry for ourselves, you know. Still gotta put our best foot forward and try to play the best ball the next day. If you don't play great ball that day, try to do it the day after that, until the season over...""
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
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.
