This is what I want. This is what inspired me, a Delhi boy."

You conveyed that 'agar puri shiddat se kisi cheez ke picche lag jao, toh puri kaaynaat lag jaati hain ussko apna banane ke liye'. Thank you sir you've given hope to an entire generation. Sending you love today, tomorrow and every day of your life. I'll end this video with your dialogue - 'Abhi picture baqi hain mere dost'."
