"Our cities leave much to be
desired. Growth cannot be
measured only in the tallest
towers or expressways — it has
to be about making cities more
livable, efficient and sustainable.”

"Our idea for the lectures and informative walks was to cover spaces with a focus on religion, but not the
traditional notions of religion. Instead, we want to explore why certain
spaces have a sacred significance. The sites we will be covering represent more than architecture, they embody living traditions that have shaped and continue to shape the city’s spiritual geography.”

"A Hindu does not believe in one God. He has many forms. It is said he has 33 crore forms. Neither one

"During the shoot of Don, I forgot
the locker code in a scene. Even
now, I can’t remember hotel
room numbers. Sometimes I go

that something’s always a little

"A bowl of porridge for breakfast, three small sandwiches and
two tiny yellow bananas for

"The first challenge was simply
getting eggs to market without
breaking. They could be packed
in sawdust, but that added to the weight and cost of transport. One solution was to use a material like oats which could be sold itself. In the pre-auto era, there was a
constant demand for oats to feed
the horses used for transport.”
Vikram Doctor, food columnist, The
Economic Times, April 6, 2025
"Behind every working
