Sometimes street knowledge can be as important as book knowledge  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) You should take a good look at all sides of an issue before making a decision. Put something away in case of an emergency. New neighbors will bring good cheer. A small problem may occur at home base, but you will solve it quickly and correctly. Don’t offer smart advice unless you are really asked to comment.  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) It is in the genes of cities to bounce back from disasters - whether natural or man made.

Just because someone has not had a formal education, that does not mean he does not have wisdom and common sense.  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I want to show that the underdog can win. I believe we’re all the same: you, a slum girl, my mother.  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) Twenty20 is cricket on speed. In an era of hectic lifestyles and falling attention spans, it gives spectators more drama and intensity in three hours that they would get from a whole-day match. And even though it is a heady cocktail of money, entertainment and media, at its core it is cricket.  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) The burning ambition of my life was to marry her one day. The consuming worry of my life was to whether she would agree.  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I get invited to many more literary festivals than I used to because I’m associated with ‘Slumdog Millionaire,’ the brand. Many more doors have opened up for me as a result of the global success of the film, although I believe that I’m the same person that existed before it  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) For me, the day job comes first. That’s why I call myself a diplomat who writes, not a writer who masquerades as a diplomat. If the day job demands it, I won’t write at all. I write in what I call ‘the crevices of my day job’, and that comes only on weekends  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I am very interested in human-interest stories emerging from modern India. I get my inspiration and daily dose by reading the Hindustan Times  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) Tokyo may have more money and Kyoto more culture; Nara may have more history and Kobe more style. But Osaka has the biggest heart  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I am the luckiest novelist in the world. I was a first-time novelist who wasn’t awash in rejection slips, whose manuscript didn’t disappear in slush piles. I have had a wonderful time  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) The slums are not a place of despair. Its inhabitants are all working towards a better life  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I need to meet people to be able to write  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) The writer’s is an interior world, a world of the mind  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) And I realized again that real life is different from reel life  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) Never judge a man’s actions until you know his motives  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I am not into the unrealistic realm of magic realism where birds talk  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) Mumbai may not be my city. But it is my kind of city  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) My books may highlight corruption, brutality and venality, but they also show that if these things come to light, there is rectification. The voiceless do have a voice; democratic mechanisms and accountability do exist  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I wonder what it feels like to have no desires left because you have satisfied them all, smothered them with money even before they are born. Is an existence without desire very desirable? And is the poverty of desire better than rank poverty itself?  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) A great artist is not one who merely fits into a genre but one who defines the genre  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) The brain is not an organ we are authorized to use. We are supposed to use only our hands and legs  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) You should take a good look at all sides of an issue before making a decision. Put something away in case of an emergency. New neighbors will bring good cheer. A small problem may occur at home base, but you will solve it quickly and correctly. Don’t offer smart advice unless you are really asked to comment  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) People don’t just want a mindless flick with a superstar; they want to connect more deeply  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I want to show that the underdog can win. I believe were all the same: you, a slum girl, my mother  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) I did not go to any creative writing workshop; I did not major in literature. If I can write, anyone can write. All it needs is imagination  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) The first thing you have to understand is that I was not desperate to be a writer. I was never a closet writer filing away notes in a cupboard  (Vikas Swarup Quotes) My first novel was a challenge to myself. No one had an inkling that I was working on it  (Vikas Swarup Quotes)
