Four things people would be surprised to know about you:

1. I strongly opposed becoming a minister.

"One would be surprised to know that I tried to run as fast and as far as possible from becoming a minister. I decided I would never do what my dad was doing, not that I didn't like it, but because I felt that it diverted him from opportunities to make his children well taken care of. And so I said no way would I let my children go through that."

2. I love sports, especially cricket.

"I was a fairly good cricketer. I played it in the country area and did well in all the areas except wicket keeping. I have a good bat, I am an open bowler, a spin bowler, a good fielder, and I was quite a good all-rounder."

3. I love creating things.

"My father had a borrowed guitar and it fell and broke the key and I bought a nail and a file and made a key which worked perfectly. I do things of that nature, which allows me to think through and make a way to solve the problems. I also experimented on carving stone or wood."

4. I don't believe in worrying.

"I tend to be calm and take things as they come. What I can solve, I solve them; what I cannot solve, I don't worry over them, because worry can't solve them. I used to worry, but I learnt long time ago that worry doesn't pay bills and cannot solve problems."
