“Manmohan used to have poetic illness at times. Once we were walking through Cumberland. We found that he had fallen half a mile behind, walking at a leisurely pace and moaning out poetry in a deep tone. There was a dangerous place in front of us, so we shouted at him to come back. But he took no heed, went on muttering the lines and came to us with his usual leisurely steps. When he came to India, his playing the poet dropped off.”<ref>''[[Talks with Sri Aurobindo]]'', p.123, 8 January 1939</ref>


“When I went to Cambridge, I was introduced to a tailor who made suits for me on credit. When I returned to London, he traced me there and got introduced to Manmohan also. Manmohan got a red velvet suit made – not staring red, but aesthetic. He used to go to see [[Oscar Wilde]] in that suit.”<ref>Ibid.</ref>
