Alice Roberts
“Most chickens, though, grow fast – and are slaughtered at just six weeks old. When we eat chickens, they’re really just overblown, overgrown, big chicks. The ends of their bones haven’t even begun to turn from cartilage to bone yet. A single great-grandmother hen, back in the pedigree flock, can have an astonishing 3 million broiler-chicken descendants – who never make it to adulthood.”
Alice Roberts, Tamed: Ten Species That Changed Our World

Jim Corbett
“There are events in one's life which, no matter how remote, never fade from memory”
Jim Corbett, Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag

“रूढ़ियों को लोग इसलिए मानते हैं, क्योंकि उनके सामने रूढ़ियों को तोड़ने वालों के उदाहरण पर्याप्त मात्रा में नहीं हैं।”

“The brightest flashes in the world of thought are incomplete until they have been proved to have their counterparts in the world of fact.”
John Tyndall

“As I have often said later, I was thrown into this little dusty town in Gujarat and into the lives of the dairy farmers of Kaira district by what I consider to be a sheer accident of fate – what turned out to be a strange pre-planned act of destiny. I had always imagined that I was cut out for ‘bigger and better things’ – for a glamorous, fast-paced life in a big city, a job with a prestigious firm and the pleasures of the luxurious lifestyle that go with it. Anand did not figure anywhere in my scheme of things. But I had to honour the contract with the Government of India which had enabled my higher studies in the US and therefore, here I was in Anand, a fish out of water.”
Verghese Kurien, I Too Had a Dream
