Quotes
So they say
“I have had and loved dogs
all through my childhood. With
their innocence and their loyalty, they’re somewhat like children.
We have become complex beings. A dog will love you all his life
and only demand some affection
in return. And if a dog doesn’t
like you, he bites you. But
not behind your back.”
Ratan Tata, chairman, Tata group, The Times of India, March 31, 2009
“If you don’t set down rules
for dogs and children, you’ll end
up with brats — in both cases. When bringing a member of another species into our life, training is a way of understanding each other. Just like an infant is taught to understand the world
and blend into it, a canine too
needs basic training.”
Shirin Merchant, editor Woof magazine, Mumbai Mirror, February 3, 2009
“Most restaurants and malls do not allow dogs. Dogs are not allowed on buses or trains. That’s why the blind find it difficult to use guide dogs, unlike in Europe and the US. This is a major mentality problem.”
Phiroze Javeri, architect, member of the Indian National Kennel Club (INKC), Hindustan Times, January 20, 2009
“We have hit on a very
successful model and our...
store sales has grown 50
percent annually. The decision
to spin off this business is to
accelerate growth and scale
up the business. Nature’s
Basket has done exceptionally
well at a time when the
modern retail industry is
currently tackling a downturn.”
Tanya Dubash, director, Godrej group,
The Economic Times, March 6, 2009
“There used to (be) around 200
Parsi restaurants along the
stretch of South Bombay, now there are hardly 15. The next generation isn’t interested in joining the family business.
Many have tasted the euros and pounds while living abroad. The daily hassle of running the
restaurant that barely generates profit does not attract them.”
Boman Kohinoor, partner Britannia Restaurant, The Indian Express,

“Theater is a difficult profession.
It is actually a struggle to survive.
It is always a struggle to bring in
a good audience. But if you
love all of this, life will never
stagnate for you.”
Shernaz Patel, theater veteran, DNA,
March 19, 2009
“I don’t bet, but I enjoy spending time with the racing fraternity and having brunch with them. Art is also being promoted with
artists showing their work
on major race days.”
