"We were just talking about this and I don't think we did, it's just natural that something works or it doesn't, you know? I would look at Ivan's paintings, or he would listen to a sound and change something, and it's not something that's overthought."
"I was on before this experimental guy, Morton Subotnick- This old, 80 year-old classic experimental guy. The venue's beautiful. Huge big cinema screen, and I'm like 'What the hell can I do to, you know, wake this audience up from the slumber?', so I decided to throw myself down this staircase to begin the show, which went very well."
"I just like working you know? So I guess what gets released is just the tip of the iceberg."
"It's so beautiful, because you don't really notice the soundtrack which is what I was aiming for."
"I would expect the unexpected, I think that's always the best thing to expect these days. That's always the motivation, 'expect the unexpected'"
"In terms of working with dementia-as a concept-I don't know, it just fascinates me, you know, memory going wrong. There's nothing really to add. I think I'm really fascinated by memory and things going wrong."
"But always, I've got to make it sound like it's organic, so it's not being done digitally, you know? I am always trying to do something where you can't really hear the process, but you can imagine "this is going wrong, this is crumbling down'."
"The process is often before the show."
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.
