“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”

“Samay ruka nahin, hum kyon theher gaye?
Abhi toh hum chale hi nahin, phir kyun thak gaye?
Utho Pathik, mat bhramittho, dhoomil andhiyaare mein –

Jago! Jago! Man mat behlao!
Ek Maseeha tum bhi ban jao!”
