Quotes
So they say
“I wanted to set up an e-library for blind people, but no publisher
would give me soft copies of their books, citing copyright infringement. That’s when it hit home — the law needed to change to accommodate the visually challenged.”

in India and half the users of these facilities are...unconnected with the Tatas.”
R. M. Lala, Tata Group chronicler and author of The Romance of Tata Steel, Business India, November 4, 2007
“Part of the former Soviet Union was part of ancient Iran’s territory. Iran is the home of early religions, of Zoroastrianism, and some specialists think that this was the source from which Judaism, Christianity and Islam would later spring. But now there is evidence suggesting that Zoroastrianism first emerged on Russian soil — in the southern Urals — and that population migrations
took this religious culture to other places, including to Iran.”
Vladimir Putin, Russian president in an interview with IRNA Information Agency and Iranian State Television and Radio, submitted to Parsiana by Dadi Mistry of Delhi
“Many youth are brought up in households where they either
feel they should shun the culture because of the lack of education from parents, or turn away from the culture because of too much force to accept the culture. Just the right amount of exposure is needed to enable the youth themselves to define their cultural identity.”
Nikan Khatibi, chair, Zoroastrian Youth of North America (ZYNA), FEZANA Journal — Fall 2007
“There’s more to life than attending parties and being on Page 3. Nusli and I decided long ago that we don’t want to talk to vacuous people. Success is not about being covered in gossip columns regularly.”
Maureen Wadia, multi-faceted wife of industrialist Nusli Wadia, HT Cafe, October 21, 2007
“The greatest thing about being a team, however, is that you become a universe in yourself, like a mini agency bubble that can create from idea to complete campaigns with just two people and a Mac, with some coffee and air conditioning thrown in for good measure. There
are always many ideas flying around and you never have to face a dry day!”
Priya Pardiwalla, Senior Creative Head, JWT, Business India, October 7, 2007
