Shashi Tharoor Quote

If America is a melting pot, then to me India is a thali—a selection of sumptuous dishes in different bowls. Each tastes different, and does not necessarily mix with the next but they belong together on the same plate, and they complement each other in making the meal a satisfying repast.
