Quotes[edit]

  • I feel as comfortable anywhere as I feel uncomfortable anywhere
  • In India, if you are from the elite, dogs are extremely important. The breed of the dog indicates your wealth, that you are westernized. The cook, another human being, is on a much lower level than your dog. You see this all the time.
