Interview: THE RATAN TATA

Updated: Jan 6, 2023

“If you want to walk fast, Walk Alone.

But – if you want to walk far walk Together.”

How strange it is:

We wish to wear high brands but we feel most comfortable in payjamas.

We wish to sit in Taj & Marriot with elite people, but we enjoy roadside tea with friends and with people, but we enjoy roadside tea with friends and with people we love.

We wish to own big cars and go on long drives, yet we talk our heart out only while walking down a long road.

We have 64GB iPods filled with songs but sometimes a song on the radio brings a smile that can’t be compared.”.
