Taapsee Pannu Shares a Meaningful Quote:
Dil aur dimaag ki race mein sirf 6 minute ka difference hai. Dil agar pehle kaam karna bandh karta hai toh uske rukne ke baad dimag ke paas bhi sirf 6 hi minute hai, khatam toh woh bhi hoga. hum shayad is waqt us madhayantar mein hai.

Urban naxals, tukde-tukde gang, anti-nationals, mughalon ki aulaad, desh ke gaddaron ko goli maaro saalon ko..where have you heard these terms and slogans before? It’s no rocket science to figure who these “miscreants” inside and outside #JNU are. Stop making excuses now. Enough.

Hai Dastoor ki subah hone se pehle
Raaton ka gehra ho jaana laazim hai
Zulm badhaao abhee tumhare zulmon ka
Had se baahar bhee ho jaana laazim hai
It’s shameful and enraging to see what’s happening in #JNUViolence
