“लड़कियों को घूरना इस देश की उन आदतों में से है जिसे लोग असभ्य तक नहीं मानते। आपको तो लड़के-लड़की-औरत-मर्द-बच्चा-बूतरू सब घूरेगा। उत्सुकता से, प्रश्नवाचक दृष्टि से, विस्मय से, बुरी नज़र से… और साथ में जो प्रश्न कर सकते हैं वो भी करेंगे। […] इसके लिए तो कोई स्वच्छता मिशन भी नहीं है। ग़लती मानते तब तो सोचते सही करने का।”

“Just like there are television commercials and magazine ads that try to tell girls that fat is bad, there are also messages that tell girls that they must have big breasts and curves to be real girls. Of course, you know that is ridiculous because there is no such thing as a "real" girl. If you feel like a girl, you are a girl! Your genes, which are specifically made only for you, may mean you are going to be tall and thin or short and thin. Being a girl with a thin body is just as good as being a girl with a curvy or round body. There is no such thing as a better body than any other. No matter what, your body is growing into the body it was meant to be-perfect for you!”
