- First of all they (Pakistan) wanted to save themselves from fighting from the Hindus. Now they are Muhammadan - they are of the same cult, same religion - still they are fighting. So you cannot stop this fighting. It will automatically come out

- He was also surprised to see the red dust of perfumed kunkuma spread over her breasts. Nevertheless, still considering Purvacitti a boy, Agnidhra addressed her as subhaga, most fortunate muni
