"We're not going to suddenly revisit all of our companies and say we won't hold them in the portfolio because of the potential of an earthquake in Wellington, Christchurch or wherever else the next one might be."
"It will impact our economic growth because the country's reserves will need to be used to rebuild Christchurch. That will have implications because New Zealand was already going to struggle to achieve the sorts of average growth levels that it has in previous decade. It's a bit of knock back."
"I think every member should look at fees, make sure they're in the ball park. You don't necessarily have to go for the lowest fee or the highest if you want to go for the highest make sure their returns are signficantly higher than everybody else so you are getting a decent return for the fees. So look at the reasonableness of fees.""
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.

Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
