“I come from a political family. My father was a freedom fighter. He was a prominent leader of the locality and member of the Congress party. He spent 10 years in British prisons. In the evening, in our living room, the only subject we used to discuss was politics. So politics was not unfamiliar to me.” YearsPoliticalUsedFatherRoomsPartyLeaderSubjectsMembersPrisonCongressBritishFighterEveningLiving RoomUnfamiliarProminentFreedom FighterLocalityCongress Party Author:Pranab Mukherjee

“Nobody draws the light for covered wine rooms from the south or west, but rather from the north, since that quarter is never subject to change but is always constant and unshifting.

“A lot of the challenge and the reason for the success of those one-shot photographers is that their pictures almost have to be subject proof.

“The difference is in Hostel it's in the theatre - it's in public but it's in a private place. You have to actively make a choice to want to go see it. It's not being forced on anyone. Whereas 24 you can be flipping channels and it's right there in your living room. Anyone has access to that. But that just shows how mainstream it is and how people are seeing this stuff on YouTube.

“Well, I think there was a time when I first started that there was such a thing called 'a woman's film' and there were certain scripts that women would make. But I think that's changed a lot now.

“There is scarcely room for doubt that something in the psychological relation of a mother-in-law to a son-in-law breeds hostility between them and makes it hard for them to live together. But the fact that in civilized societies mothers-in-law are such a favourite subject for jokes seems to me to suggest that the emotional relation involved includes sharply contrasted components. I believe, that is, that this relation is in fact an 'ambivalent' one, composed of conflicting affectionate and hostile impulses.” BelieveHardFactsSeemsTogetherLawMotherI BelieveRoomsDoubtSubjectsEmotionalSonInvolvedJokesRelationPsychologicalImpulseCivilizedFavouriteHostileComponentsHostilityIn-lawsAffectionateCivilized SocietyMother In LawAmbivalentSon-in-law Book:Totem and Taboo Source: Totem and Taboo
