" main is ko nahi manta. toughest time nahi hai, best time hai. kahan toughest time hai? main ek parhta hoon, hyderabad mein tha, ek jalsa tha musalmanon ka, yahi baat kahi gayi thi. to unhon ne kaha yahan itne sare log hain, koi ek shakhs khara ho kar kahe ke 47 se pehle is ki family bohat achhe halat mein thi, aaj barbaad halat mein hai.
