00:00So the food in our house was very different from the tradition.
00:05We didn't even eat onions and garlic.
00:08Vegetables, lentils, rice, whatever was made,
00:12I ate almost all the vegetables.
00:15In the evening, I didn't have a habit of having tea.
00:18My father didn't make me a habit of having tea from the beginning.
00:22He said, no, this becomes a habit.
00:25Habit, habit, habit.
00:28It's okay, it's the lightest.
00:31Even with drinks,
00:34and cigarettes and all that,
00:37in the Gita, God has said,
00:40eat appropriate food.
00:43Not too much, not too little.
00:46So my food was also like that.
00:49I always used to make small phulkis.
00:53I would eat as much as I could.
00:57And now it's less.
01:00It's been 2-3 years now.
01:03So now I can't eat more than 2.
01:09Until now, it's my routine.
01:12I would go to bed at 9.30 and eat.
01:16If I'm late, it's a different matter.
01:19If a guest comes, or there's a party,
01:23sometimes even at 10.
01:26So usually before 10.
01:29And 99% of the time, I eat before 10.
01:34From 8 to 8.30.
01:37In the morning, I wake up at 4.
01:40Between 4 and 5.
01:43At that time, I roam around a bit.
01:46Now I can't roam around.
01:49Maybe there's someone behind me.
01:52But I'm still waking up.
01:55I go inside.
01:5815-20 minutes.
02:01Or half an hour.
02:04I slowly roam around.
02:07Then I take a bath.
02:10I usually wake up at 7.
02:15There's a small temple inside.
02:18I go there.
02:21I don't sleep much.
02:24I don't eat much.
02:27I don't rest much.
02:30I do what I can.
