"If I liked you or not, if you liked me or not, talking about these things are imperative. But yes there are a couple of things I need to tell you, or else later on you will say that I am a fraudster, liar, thief...the thing is that we have a theatre party. I will be returning late from there everyday. I can't even tell you when I will return. Once in a while I will even return in a drunken state...I can also go to watch dance performances in brothels. I am a descendant of a royal family, hah, that's why I'm bound to have such regal pursuits!"

(Apanjan / 1968)

"How much do you know about me...has Pulu told you anything?

"Yes."

"What has he said?"

"That you are an orphan."

"Yes...my father died when I was ten years old. My mother died when I was seventeen. I had a sister...an older sister...what else did he say?"

"That you are a writer."
