Quotes
So they say
“In the context of such illegitimate and irresponsible criticism, it
must be borne in mind that love for justice is rare — what
most people desire is justice which favors them.”
S. H. Kapadia, Chief Justice of India,
The Indian Express, April 18, 2011
“It is wrong to keep saying that builders are making too much money. Is it wrong to make money? Everyone is making money. You put up a policy for what it is worth. And if we have figured out a way of making money out of it, so be it. That is our job.”
Chandresh Mehta, director, Rustomjee, DNA, May 9, 2011
“At a Parsi wedding no one remembers who the bride or
groom was, but everyone remembers who the caterer was.”

perform your stunts, and no one cared if you broke your leg
or injured yourself. Today the set up is more professional
and stunt artistes are respected. Actors take care of you.”
Sanober Pardiwala, stuntwoman in Bollywood, Sunday Times of India, May 1, 2011
“There has been fatigue. Players have been very busy. But if you say the charm has diminished, then I won’t agree. People are
very excited about the IPL (Indian Premier League).”
Ness Wadia, co-owner, Punjab team, Bombay Times, April 20, 2011
“I love natural beauty, love natural flaws and am genuinely bored by people looking alike because they are all so Botoxed. Botox can become like a disease. So much so, that people eventually don’t even look like the celebrity you fell in love with. No one admits it but many do some form of surgical or nonsurgical intervention to fight age or improve their features. Personally, I wouldn’t touch my face, it’s too sacred, but if someone promised me washboard abs through lippo, I’d say, bring it on.”
Anaita Shroff Adajania, stylist and fashion director, Vogue India, Hindustan Times Sunday Magazine, May 1, 2011
“The most shocking evidence of the attitude towards women came from a colleague who was dropped from a team only because the client didn’t want to deal with a woman.”
Nina Godiwalla, investment banker and author, Hindustan Times Sunday
Magazine, May 1, 2011
“A belief that leaves no place for doubt is not a belief;
it is a superstition.”
Jose Bergamin, Spanish writer, quote submitted by reader Farrokh Mehta
