Toh maine bola, ‘mereko ye ladki pasand hai’. Wo bola fir tu usko bol ki teri shaadi aur usse hogi. Maine ladki ko aise hi jaake bol diya ki tumhari meri shaadi hogi, toh usne madam ko bata diya. Madam boli kal apne mummy daddy ko lele aa (There was a girl in school, and I didn’t actually try to run away for her. The older boys at our school were asking me which girl I liked. So I said, ‘I like this girl.’ They told me to go and tell her that you two will get married. I went up to the girl and casually said that we are going to get married, and she told the teacher. The teacher said, ‘Bring your parents tomorrow’)”.

“Mereko laga ki ab duniya khatam, ab tu gaya. Ab life yahan pe khatam ho gayi. Maine fridge kholi, do kele nikale. Fruit nikala fridge se. Cycle li, chala gaya. Pehli baar goan jahan pe end ho jata tha uske aage gaya, 5 minutes main dur gaya. Mere kisi gaon ke bande ne kahan, ‘chal mudh ja yahan se’. Usko laga pata nahi kahan ja raha hai. Pata nahi kya aaya hoga uske dimaag mein toh main wapas mud gaya ghar. Wo ek mere ko yaad hai maine bhagne ki koshish ki thi (I felt like the world was ending, and I was done for. At that point, it felt like life was over. I opened the fridge, took out two bananas, and grabbed some fruit. I took my bicycle and left. For the first time, I went beyond the end of our village and rode for about 5 minutes. One of the villagers said to me, ‘Turn around and go back.’ He probably wondered where I was going. Whatever came to his mind, I turned back and went home. I remember that one time I tried to run away)," he added.
