"You go on a beauty journey because it’s great for your well-being. It makes you happy, and it makes you confident. It makes you ready to take on the world, empowers you, and enables you to make it."
"Your weight doesn’t always reflect your actual progress, especially if you’re doing strength training. You might even gain weight as you build muscle, that’s the tendency. So when you step on the scale and see the numbers go up, you get discouraged and think, "This isn’t working. I might as well stop." It’s better to set a goal like fitting into a dress and saying, "I want to finally wear this.""
"Waking up early helps me get so much done. It’s hard at first, but once you get used to it, it really makes a difference."

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.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
