"I've learned that I'm truly passionate about everything I say YES to."
"Africans, men and women, alcohol tastes nice. But if you love someone, you owe it to yourself to talk to the one that you love and say 'please, may we just call it quits. We have children at home. Go home. Your family needs you."
"We came to earth and alcohol was here, and drink it here on earth, and will leave it here on earth."
"We can’t start our day at seven in the morning by consuming alcohol and then you get home at five in the morning,-that’s 22 hours of being on the street drinking alcohol."

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.
