Wishing you all Happy Vijaya Dashami, Happy Dussehra and Shubho Bijoya with some quotable quotes from this illusory world of Moha-Maya :-)
You don’t forget your first love. Psychologists say it is because it is a life-changing experience and one that can impact your brain, leaving an imprint on its sensory parts. By the same token, you also don’t forget your first break-up. These experiences are the first intense emotions we go through. - Muna Khan
Nobody is invincible. And it’s vulnerability that makes you human. - Shabana Azmi
Respect! Though you can’t demand respect, you have to earn it. Love keeps changing. Romance is the first thing that disappears with marriage. But you have to keep working at it – it’s a process of constant adjustment. Togetherness, friendship, interest in each other, and giving space to your partner is paramount. That can only stem from respect. - Shabana Azmi
Anyone who has looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war. - Otto von Bismarck
It is not merely wine or bhang that makes one drunk; a mad idea also can do so. - Mahatma Gandhi
Any use of technology that undermines the richness of human relationships must be presumed suspect, especially if it encourages passivity rather than creativity. If a form of technology is proving deleterious to your relationships with others, you have to have the guts to drop it. Don’t be afraid to walk away. It is vital to remain technology’s master, and not become its slave. - John Rhodes

If you treat me like an option, I'll leave you like a choice. - Anon
Though sometimes we don’t get along very well-we have never been on beautiful terms ever for that matter — we have always been together. And the credit is hers and not mine. I can assure you that she is a very kind and tolerant woman. And she has been a great daughter-in-law to my parents, cared for and looked after them. - Raj Kapoor
There was turmoil in our marriage but, at the end of the day, we both realised that we could neither live with each other nor without each other. Today, I realise that a celebrity’s life is like an open book. I regret the days when we didn’t talk with each other. I suppose that is what is called maturity. - Krishna Raj Kapoor
When I sit back at the end of the day, I feel very sorry for all the pain that I have given you. How can I bring those days back for you? But show business is such that a woman has to be understanding because there are constant emotional involvements, because the work is such. A lesser woman would have deserted me long ago. It is Krishna who has made my home. Unhone mera ghar banaya, basaya, sajaya aur sanwara (she made my home, inhabited it, adorned it, and cared for it). - Raj Kapoor
I am curious to see how machine learning impacts the future of our relationships. Can AI succeed in replicating human affection? Assuming you are in a relationship with a virtual being that always agrees with you, how will you deal with conflict and hurt, emotions that make us human? - Muna Khan
It is easy to mock people who use apps like Replika. But at the heart of it, this is a story about loneliness, a growing epidemic that technology is attempting to solve, and profit from. If social media has profited from keeping us glued to their platforms, often at the expense of personal relationships, why blame other platforms from trying to cash in and also address a need? - Muna Khan
Is the Englishman bad because he is an Englishman? Is it that everyone with an Indian skin is good? If that is so, there should be [no] angry protest against oppression by Indian princes. India can gain nothing from the rule of murderers—no matter whether they are black or white. Under such a rule, India will be utterly ruined and laid waste. - Mahatma Gandhi
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. - Franklin D. Roosevelt
I don't always take the right decision. I make the decision and then make it right. - Ratan Tata
If it’s possible to be in films without taking your clothes off or killing people with machine guns, I seem to have indeed managed. - Dame Maggie Smith
If you want things to be done well, do it yourself instead of depending on others, provided you are confident you'll do it well. - Aparna Chatterjee
I read a long time ago that men who love their women, make them bloom! I think there's a lot of truth to that statement. - Anjana Bhalla
That is, after all, what companionship is about: knowing the other person, listening to them and being listened to. - Muna Khan
If you find happiness with someone today, you are lucky. One does not know what lies in store in the future. Today, life is what you make of it… the age-old notion that you have to be married to be happy and settled, no longer holds true now. And marriage is a bond, which not always keeps you bonded for life. - Zarine Khan
Weather is like Life, always full of vagary. - Aparna Chatterjee
I don’t want you going down the road of bitterness. It leads to hell. - Anthea
How can a loving, omnipotent God permit disease, war and suffering? - Anon
Empathy and kindness are the greatest strengths a leader can possess. - Ratan Tata
