Attitudes to Love

"'You too will marry a boy I
choose,' said Mrs Rupa Mehra firmly to her younger daughter."
"She [Lata] knew her mother and
the deep pain and horror she would suffer if she heard that her daughter had
been seeing a Muslim boy."
"Mrs Sahgal's saccharine, foolish
life revolved around her husband... Some people thought her a saint, some a
fool."
"'... She is like Sita - a perfect
wife. If I want her to dance naked for me she will dance.'"
|
"'Oh, love, what boring subject,' said Lata."
"Meenakshi: I don't love you a bit.
Billy: Thank God."
