"Isn't it great when a woman gives birth and miraculously comes out of it all svelte and sleek, as if the pregnancy never happened? Well, I am not one of those women! I left the hospital with a happy layer of lard, disguised as water retention"
"No weird cravings and no morning sickness. I tried to eat healthy, or rather healthier this time, because with Yorke it was double cream this and triple choc that, so there were clearly lessons learnt from the first time"
"I have lots of protein which, I believe, is good for milk supply and I eat brown bread or rice and lots of vegetables, with light snacks in between. I had plans to start Pilates a month after the birth but, really, where is the time for that in between feeding, bathing, changing nappies and bathing myself"

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.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
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.
