“Oh, Vasu. People always talk; you have to learn to ignore them.”

“Some people are like that - always searching fro something better, never satisfied.,Makes you wonder if they ever get a good night's sleep. They must toss and turn, dreaming about a softer mattress or a plumper pillow.”

“At least if it is an arranged marriage, you can fault your parents, otherwise you will have only yourself to blame. And, believe me, it is always harder to bear something if you cannot blame somebody else for it. -Mr. Ali-”

“That's the mistake people make - always searching for the perfect match, when they would be just as happy if they settled for somebody reasonably good.”

“You can have the whole world looking out for you, Pari, but it is not a substitute for that one special person to share your life with.”

“I've always thought that men are more romantic than woman.”

“There is no such thing as a perfect match. There are only somewhat good and somewhat bad matches. A couple are like two pebbles that are next to each other on a beach. They will have rough edges and rub each other the wrong way initially. But as they spend time together and the waves pound them, the edges rub off and they will seem made for each other.”
