"When husbands get cuckolded, it’s more a matter of ego than
of morality. Nanavati took the
matter to an unacceptable
extreme. He found his territorial waters being invaded, and he
‘exterminated with extreme
prejudice.’ The defence
constructed an elaborate
scenario of a scuffle, but in fact,
it was cold-blooded murder.”
Bachi Karkaria, author, In Hot Blood,
Hello! India, May 2017
"According to an analysis, if the nation’s judges closed 100
cases every hour without eating
or sleeping, it would take more than 35 years to catch up.”

"Our tiny Parsi community
seemed to have gravitated
naturally (perhaps due to our Westernized outlook) to this

"The Jehovah’s Witnesses
case still holds good, where the Supreme Court had observed

Soli Sorabjee, former attorney general of India, The Hindu, September 20, 2017
"The celebrity is carefully selected. We expect him or her to have
a healthy lifestyle, be fun,
energetic, inspiring, self-made
and known for family values.”

"It’s an actor who benefits
the most with a film doing well when it should actually be the
producer. Unfortunately the box
office has become the only
parameter to gauge success.”

mother Honey is a Parsi, The Times of India, September 11, 2017
"Before I got married, I didn’t even know there was a wrong way to
put the milk back in the fridge.”
