Mukkam by Gauri Deshpande

"ज्याच्यावर आपले पोटातून प्रेम आहे, त्या मायदेशाची जगात चार माणसांपुढे लाज वाटावी याचे दुःख किती खोल आणि हताश करणारे असते ते अनुभवल्यावाचून समजायचे नाही कुणाला."

- गौरी देशपांडे (मुक्काम)

"One will have to experience to understand how saddening and frustrating it is to be ashamed of your country that you love from the bottom of your heart, when exposed to the world."

- Gauri Deshpande (Mukkam)
