of the film for which X shot it using a bit of
Backstreet Boys song ,when asked for
permission to use that bit but they quoted a
fancy figure of one crore rupees. X said
'Forget it!' and they composed a new piece
and it worked absolutely fine. Much later,
the very same company asked X permission
to use another famous song from his movie.
So X quoted exactly the same figure.
However the music company was ready to
give it to them for nothing, but X said no. If
they can charge us this much, then we'll
charge them as much. And X got one crore

“Stewart and his team put out several
issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and
then when it had run its course, they put
out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s,
and I was your age. On the back cover of
their final issue was a photograph of an
early morning country road, the kind you
might find yourself hitchhiking on if you
were so adventurous. Beneath it were the
words: “____ ______. ____ _______." It
was their farewell message as they signed
off. ____ ______. ____ _______. And I
have always wished that for myself. And
now, as you graduate to begin anew, I
wish that for you.
____ ______. ____ _______.”
