"when i was six years old, i saw slum children selling newspapers at a traffic signal and i asked my dad why they are not like us. why they do not go to schools. my dad said they do not have parents. i felt very bad and thought i must do something for them. then i wrote a short story and read it to my dad who narrated it to his friends as well. it was my dad's friends who suggested that i should direct the film myself, as i had written the story."
