Keep this in mind before you do any business in this country.

The Wheel of Time spins: there is beginning and there is end. But why does the Wheel of Time spin? Is it some divine force that propels it? Or is that force humanity, people in search of change and a better way of life?_ Asvattama Bharadvaja
No one person is the cause for or consequence of all that happens. I am just the tenth man, the threshold, the turn in the tide. I stand here on the shoulders of humanity, a mere instrument of Time._ Govinda Shauri
I am death; I am this blood, these ravaged lands, and this wanton destruction. _ Panchali Draupadi
