Quotes
So they say
“Choreography for stage and film are two completely different things. The former is prolonged and continuous. The latter must
be broken up into shots, some as little as 10 seconds. The overall look is of major importance.”
Astad Deboo, contemporary dancer-choreographer,
Afternoon Despatch & Courier, June 21, 2010
“I don’t think the religion needs a new direction but we need to open our faith to people who respect and want to imbibe our teachings.
It would be wonderful to expose and welcome them to the beauty in our beliefs and I hope that we keep a broad perspective to change. If this means welcoming non-Parsis, we should adopt a mindset that allows us to take that further step.”
Perizaad Zorabian, actress and entrepreneur, The Times of South
Mumbai, August 20, 2010
“The Parsi community is very particular about good education. In those days, whether you liked it or not, most of us were forced to go to school. Most of us were forced to have tuitions whether you wanted it or not after school. Life was quite a drudgery in those days.”
Ratan Tata, industrialist, DNA, July 20, 2010
“We are a fading religion and I think we need more young blood. I often joke that a few years from now when I have kids, they can be auctioned off on Ebay because by that time we will be a rare breed!”
Jennifer Kotwal, model and actress,
The Times of South Mumbai, August 20, 2010
“I think we need to adopt a diverse attitude and we need
to open our mind and look beyond sayings of yesteryears. While I do agree that our community needs to conserve its heritage, I think we should be more welcoming to marriages outside of the faith.”
Nauheed Cyrusi, model and actress,
The Times of South Mumbai, August 20, 2010
“Many believe the numbers are reducing when in reality the community is actually relocating to different parts of the world. We were always the same in numbers over the last few centuries, so there actually is no difference.”
Cyrus Dastur, theater personality,
The Times of South Mumbai, August 20, 2010
“I have been married twice, and those were not the happiest times of my life. Part of the problem, quite frankly, is that when you get married, the romance disappears and the children arrive and the love is transferred. It shouldn’t be that way, but too often it’s transferred to the children.”
Hugh Hefner, Playboy magazine founder, New York Times,
