Like his father and uncle Raj is a painter and cartoonist. When asked what he would have done had he not joined politics, he replied “In my college days, I wanted to work with Walt Disney Studios.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The personal touch between the people and the man to whom they temporarily delegated power of course conduces to a better understanding between them. Moreover, I ought not to omit to mention as a useful result of my journeying that I am to visit a great many expositions and fairs, and that the curiosity to see the President will certainly increase the box receipts and tend to rescue many commendable enterprises from financial disaster.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Where is the life that late I led?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
