"Time to let this pass (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time runs through our veins. (it starts and stops and starts and stops again) We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time to let this pass (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)"
"In this house of cards we're all holding hearts and spades (one breath, one step could knock it all down) but you lead with your eyes and you give it away (decide, design to cut from the clouds). When the people you love get lost in the shuffle, (when you leave, you leave nothing but broken heart) you let it go and then you fold."
"It is about realizing how young we are and how quickly we could go."
"Thursday are immensely important to the development of post-hardcore, and their sophomore album, Full Collapse, was a turning point for their legacy."
"Not only have Thursday literally been coined one of the most “influential post-hardcore bands of the 2000s,” but they have also made a name for themselves as pioneers in the alternative scene for their standout screaming vocals. [...] They have certainly done their due diligence maintaining their influence over the last two decades, influence which continues to be heard across the alternative genres today. Thursday took emo and hardcore culture and truly shattered the glass ceiling, pushing for what was absolutely alternative to be a part of popular culture."
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.
