Quotes
So they say
“Styling can be the starting point for design but it can’t be the end. Too stylish a product does not necessarily mean that the

“Raising my dogs, taking care of their diet, health, teaching them manners, taking joy in their minor achievements, spending time with them... all this means motherhood to me. In fact they are like
children in so many ways — naughty and demanding.”
Abaan Mistry, bank teller, Hindustan Times, May 11, 2008
“My wife doesn’t have to have black hair, beautiful eyes and
that sort of stuff, as long as she is a great cook.”
