First was to do exercise regularly and don’t miss it at all. Secondly, keep yourself busy and do whatever you feel like, forget about the people and their perspective over you. The third advice was, don’t enter into politics. But I followed only the first two advice of his (laughs) and the third one I denied, due to some circumstances.”
