A: Embrace love in your arms. Live. Live love.
S: What else do I do? I breathe in her hair. I clasp her to myself. I kiss her sweet lips. I feel her essence.
A: And? Is this not enough?
S: The warrior has the war. And the world is yet to be won.
A: This love. What does she see in you?
S: The heart, body and mind of a man. A real man.
A: Are you not a boy?
S: The man is the one that saves this world from itself. The man is the one that will protect you. The child that is in me is only one part of this man.
A: How can you tear yourself from those arms?
S: Discipline. There is much to do and no time to do it. The people expect. I am their prayer. I am The Tiger. Love has to share The Tiger with the world.
A: Are you not her most cherished one?
S: Love looks for a real man. Her eyes are hungry for him. Where do you find a real man? In the village. In Punjab. In six thousand years of time. In India. In god. In The Tiger.
A: You have the hubris of manhood.
S: Why not? Come anyone to contest me. I am ready forever for a fight. And I will dance on everybody’s head. I am the lover and the fighter.
