“The Bhagalpur blinding showed me how important it is in the police to follow the correct path and not resort to extra constitutional ways. Many officers feel that encounters are the only way to deal with hardened criminals, but the Bhagalpur incidents taught me a salutary lesson that, although such behaviour might bring quick results and commendations in the short term, it invariably leads you down a dangerous path.”

“Mum always said that you couldn't beat a good woman friend and that everyone should have atleast one. Do you remember that she always said there was two kinds of women? Men's women and women's women? And if you knew what was good for you, you'd be a woman's woman and you'd never be lonely. Said it was like belonging to a bloody great club.

For many years old wives' tales were the target of ridicule, but in many old wives' tales there was, we know today, more than a bit of truth.”
