"I was Flint's first mate that voyage...three days east of Tortola in the Caribie, Flint knew an island. That's where we buried the treasure. Gold and blood; they were Flint's trademarks. He'd leave both behind him, that day."
"Oh, aye. Fifteen men went ashore that day...and only Flint, his own self, returned. Oh, aye, and then old Flinty...up and died afore they could get back to that cursed island, and dig up the treasure. No one knows to this day who has old Flint's map. Now, isn't that a story worth the hearing?"
"Enough with this singing! Rum! I need rum, lads! I've got a horrors! Give me rum! Rum 'til I float!"
"THE BLACK SPOT!!"
"The Black Spot's a pirate's death sentence! They'll be coming to kill me... TONIGHT!!"
"(last words) Aye! But also... beware of running with scissors or any other pointy objects, it's all good fun until somebody loses an EYYYYYEEE!!"

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.
