"Kabhi baap banna padta hai, kabhi dost, kabhi bhai [Sometimes you have to be a father, sometimes a friend, sometimes a brother]... Aur kabhi hawa bankar gunjaish deni padti hai [And sometimes you have to be the wind and give them space]"
"Gunjaish - Jahan darr nahin hota, sirf bharosa hota [Space - where there is no fear, only trust]"
