So they say
“Around 1997, I was asked whether I would leave Hong Kong because many Indians were so worried about the handover and they had left. I said of course not. If Hong Kong were a ship, I would like to be the captain and to go along with it.”
Rusy M. Shroff, philanthropist and businessman, Hong Kong Commercial Daily, December 4, 2007
“I don’t design soothing dance pieces, I don’t like them. I like art with a raw, vital, earthy quality. That’s why I chose this form to work with. Besides, dance theatre in this country is always weighed down by uncertainties. There’s nothing new about that.”

Hafiz Contractor, architect, Hindustan Times, March 8, 2008

These classes have suffered cruelly but their back is still not broken.”
Minoo Masani, author, politician, quoted by Cyrus Guzder, Freedom First, January 2008
“I pray to all the gods, depending on who is available at that point.”
Cyrus Sahukar, MTV Veejay, HT Sunday Magazine, January 20, 2008
“I don’t think there are restrictions for women in Indian tourism.
I started in Qantas from scratch in the tele-sales and reservation sector. There was never a glass ceiling and it never differentiated between a woman and a man when it passed on responsibility or promotions. What mattered was pure merit.”
Khursheed Lam, manager (India and South Asia) Qantas Airways, Express Travelworld, September 2007
