GR: How much of your success is because of your skills and intelligence and hard work? and how much of it is luck?

SM: I think a lot of it is luck. I think my own sort of philosophy is - "window of opportunity opens for your several times in life, and i think the intelligence comes from knowing when that window is open, and being able to jump through that window. Because you can have all the talent in the world but some times the window is just not opened.
