NITA AMBANI

Mumbai Indians will strive to build on our proud legacy of giving youngsters a platform to showcase their talent and realise their true potential.

Indian classical dance is sustained by a profound philosophy. Form seeks to merge with the formless, motions seek to become a part of the motionless, and the dancing individual seeks to become one with the eternal dance of the cosmos.

My father's own view was more than entrepreneurship; it was really a passion to build an institution in India.

I tried to interest my daughter in dancing, but she didn't take to it. As a five-year-old, she got lost on the way to her first class. After that she didn't go to dance class again.

We are living in the 21st century, and children are dying of hunger, so how do we fight it?

Sachin is the soul of Mumbai Indians, and I am sure he will guide Bhajji as he takes on the responsibility of captaining Mumbai Indians.

An institution is beyond any individual. It breathes and lives on its own and always will.

I don't like talking about any projects till they solidify and take off.

I always wanted to devote a certain part of my life to dance - my true being is to be a dancer.

I believe primary and secondary education is the bedrock of any sustainable society.

I believe that children have to grow up as all-round personalities, but it cannot be at the cost of academics.

Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.

Education is not a tool for development - individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams.

As Indian women, we are always balancing work, life, home, etc. It's important to know that while juggling rubber balls and glass balls, the former may bounce back when you miss, but the glass balls will crack if you let them fall. So prioritise, prioritise, prioritise.

When my kids were very young, I have seen them crying, as they didn't want to go to school.

Sport is not just about entertainment. It is equally about winning and losing, pooling and galvanising the energy of the youth, upgrading people's physical fitness and mental prowess.

Every child has a right to education as much as to life, and every woman the right to live.

As human beings, what we can do is extend help in whatever way possible.

The lotus comes from the murkiest water but grows into the purest thing.

Everyday classroom teaching is not what children will remember, but how you made a difference in their lives.

I am too much of a team member to be separated from my team.

We are very happy to have Sachin as the Mumbai Indians Icon. I am sure the youngsters in the team will be delighted to have him around for guidance, and so would be the Mumbai Indians fans.

What I have learnt is that it is important to pursue your passion more than your legacy; if you have a passion with a purpose, then everything else fits in.

I had my children after eight years of marriage. It was a dream come true. I still pinch myself.

My reason and inspiration to lose weight and stay fit is my youngest son, Anant, who is fighting obesity. I would like to be an example for him.
