Aish O Aram Ghar Naukari Jaisi Cheeze Mere Liye Koi Mayene Nahi Rakhti.. Main Janta Hu Aap Chahte Hai Meri Shadi Ho, Mera Ghar Basey, Jaise Har Bachhe Ke Maa Baap Chahte Hai, Par Meri Dulhan To Azaadi Hai.. Aapka Agyakaari Beta Bhagat Singh!"

9.  “Mujhe hamesha lagta tha ki duniya mein do tarah ke insaan hote hain…Ek jo chupchap maut ka daman thaam lete hain… Aur doosre joh rote chilaate maut ki taraf badhte hain…Aur phir main teesre kisam ke insaanon se mila”
