Quotes
So they say
“We lived in Tardeo but often visited here (the lanes surrounding the wadis or courtyard houses around Bhuleshwar). My dad had this notion that everything you get here is good. We’d get things in bulk. But what really attracted me were the wadi structures —
decorated gateways, layers of courtyards... how migrants walked into the city and completely integrated into the structure. Also, this area has cohesive commercial and residential structures. You might feel that only ground floors have shops but it’s not so.”
Kaiwan Mehta, an architecture student, Mumbai Mirror, July 8, 2007
“You may create an empire by brute force, but you will never maintain it except by moral force founded on justice and righteousness.”
Noshir H. Dadrawala, community activist, Dadabhai Naoroji — The Promise of India

Jeh Wadia, MD, Go Air, The Times of India, May 23, 2007
“I hate this culture of what’s hot and what’s not — check the climatic conditions — we’re all hot all of the time! Luckily things have changed now and normal people with big noses and who look deformed from certain angles like me can make it on TV.”
Cyrus Sahukar, MTV VJ, Hindustan Times, July 7, 2007
“We must learn to manage people, not personnel. It’s not about the head, it’s about the heart.”
Adil Bhesania, associate vice president — Human Resources, Eureka Forbes Limited, Mid Day, May 10, 2007
“Dadar Parsi colony boasted of little villas and small buildings, now it’s filled with towering buildings. I remember cycling around the colony with friends (I still do), but it’s much more difficult now with so many cars parked.”
Arzan Khambatta, sculptor, Hindustan Times, July 1, 2007
“Being a Parsi, most of my home-cooked meals are Parsi food and that means a lot of
non-vegetarian fare. I avoid red meats, but go heavy on poultry and seafood. Like every other good Parsi, I am hot on my dhansaks, patra ni macchhis, sali botis and lagan nu achar. I enjoy most other cuisines too, except for Italian and Mexican.”
