My sister lives with my family because she has separated from her husband and my older brother had died of a heart attack. Since I am her only surviving family left, she had come to live with my family.

After the mess was closed, I was looking for a job and found there was a vacancy for a cleaner here (at Government Buildings).

It's a good job, some people might look at it like it isn't but I have loved it since I first took it on, as it is a rather easy job.

When you read Chekhov, everything has an even gray tone. When you read 'Family Life', everything has an even white tone. It is almost like when you paint on paper, and you can see the paper through the paint.

'Family Life' is a blueprint of my life. It was horrible and physically gruesome in a way the book doesn't attempt to capture. It was emotionally very bleak.

I'm a fun-loving guy. We are basically from Amritsar and ours is a chilled-out family. I think I have got my humour from my mother.
