Inconsistency itself breeds vitality.

In architecture, the demand was no longer for box-like forms, but for buildings that have something to say to the human emotions.

Nowhere in the world would you find such skeletons of cows and bullocks as you do in our cow-worshipping India.

My biggest goal for the future is motherhood.

The Constitution admittedly has a few defects and blemishes, but it still seems a hell of a lot better than the system we have now.

Obviously, the best dressed awards is very relevant, I'm best dressed at all times.(smiles)
