"I’m not massively big on history, but if you watch war films, you learn a lot about strategy there, because in order to win a war, you have to be very strategic. The tactics is the men on the front line, right? But actually, the strategy of how you’re going to win the war is the important part. And I think that’s where war films come really into play."
"I think the tactics become easy if you know the problem, if you know the why. I think that’s what are not enough marketers. I think that’s the biggest issue right now, by the way, in marketing. I think too many people are trying to battle the bottom line."

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.
