"My son is my biggest motivation, honestly. He is my biggest, biggest motivation. Most times I’ll call him and I say ‘Hey, I’m going to run today’ and he says to me ‘Okay daddy, run, run, run, run!’ The fact that he says those stuff to me and he understands, I’m very grateful because it tells me I am building a path that he can be better than I was"
"Honestly, when I was at university, it was going good at first but I didn’t have the financial support to really carry me through"
"I was not really focused because I had just left high school, I was young and was just finding myself"
"When COVID hit, I literally gave up because I thought it didn’t make any sense but then after, I said I was going to try again. It wasn’t really going good but I started to find myself little by little. It is very heartwarming knowing that every time I step out there, I have someone that I have to get this job done for"
"Knowing that I have a great support team behind me with my agent, my coach, my girlfriend and my mom, it is a good feeling to know that you have people in your corner that really believe in you"
"Sometimes it’s hard and just that extra push, that extra call really goes a far way, mentally. A lot of people don’t understand it, but once you’re good mentally then you’ll perform a lot better"
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.
