“You think your past defines you, and worse, you think that it is an unchangeable reality, when really, your perception of it changes as you do. Because experience is always multi-dimensional, there are a variety of memories, experiences, feelings, “gists” you can choose to recall…and what you choose is indicative of your present state of mind. So many people get caught up in allowing the past to define them or haunt them simply because they have not evolved to the place of seeing how the past did not prevent them from achieving the life they want, it facilitated it. This doesn’t mean to disregard or gloss over painful or traumatic events, but simply to be able to recall them with acceptance and to be able to place them in the storyline of your personal evolution.”

“Es mutet unstreitig höchst befremdlich an, dass Bollywood der leidenschaftlichen Liebe das Wort redet, während ebendie im Alltag der Inder faktisch ohne Belang ist. Wer unter die Haube kommt, lässt sich nämlich nach wie vor von althergebrachten Erwägungen wie Abkunft, Konfession, Bildung und Einkommen leiten, was ja beileibe nicht ausschließt, sein Herz an den künftigen Partner verlieren zu können.”
