After all these years of Independence, after celebrating this special occasion for all these years, why there's no drinking water that's free of cost? Why we have to buy packaged mineral water?

It used to be that watching a film was a very special occasion, the same way flying was. Before, if you took a flight from New York to L.A., most of the windows would be open. Now, we get on planes and we just close them because we're so used to what it feels like. I think the same thing has happened with cinema.

I don't wear much make-up in my non-working life, though I love to dress up and put on a face for a special occasion. As I get older, I see less of the fantasy 'Indian' self I inherited from my father, and I see my mother looking back at me.

I think fine dining should be part of the community where it is, more than just for the people who are going to make a special occasion.

Each day offers us the gift of being a special occasion if we can simply learn that as well as giving, it is blessed to receive with grace and a grateful heart.

In the early '90s, my parents weren't really drinking wine. They had a bottle or two laying around, but it had been a stigma where a bottle of wine had to be for a super special occasion. A bottle of wine had to go with a steak. And it was this thing that seemed so distant.

To play at Stamford Bridge for Brazil would be great. To play for the national team is already special but to do it here would be a very special occasion.

The last time I celebrated a special occasion, I hashed together a paella with some chicken, some frozen veg, long-grain rice, chilli and a shake of turmeric for colour - and it didn't disappoint.

Everything happens every night for this audience, and it's a very special occasion to come to the theatre.

I think a nice romantic dinner should be saved for when you and the girl you're dating or seeing have something special and it's a more special occasion.

Once in awhile, for a special occasion, I get really dressed up, but that kind of an occasion doesn't happen very often. So I don't really need much besides jeans.

Baisakhi has always been a very special occasion for me and I eagerly look forward to it every year.

We're not girls who lunch unless it's a birthday or special occasion.

I hydrate my legs by mixing a body oil with moisturiser and I apply it evenly all over my legs to seal in moisture. For a special occasion I might have a spray tan, which gives my skin a nice glow.

I'll buy a special occasion dress even if I don't know when or where I'll wear it.

In Italy, everybody buys silver for every special occasion. Baptisms, weddings, you get silver.

I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
