If I keep God first in my life, if I keep my family and friends as second, and then I keep my occupation third, that's when I've found success.

Sometimes, you get things right the first time. Others, the second. But the third time, they say, is the charm.

I myself have already spent a third of my life in Germany, first in Cologne and then, since 1994, in Berlin.

"Friends are extended family, that God decided to add later, to help us through this life." ~ Tom Baker

'Shantaram' is the second in the series of a quartet of novels that I have planned about my life but is the first to be written. The third book is a sequel to 'Shantaram,' the first a prequel.

I've been living with the minor second all my life and I finally found a way to handle it.
