"We are a population and a community with an immense capacity for caring and kindness. I have seen boundless love in South Asian communities, just as I have seen boundless neglect of mental health realities. We can do better. We can realize that mental health is a spectrum we all share. We can talk openly about mental health as we do with physical health. We can suggest therapy, care, and education instead of insisting that mental health issues like depression can be solved with focus and prayer."

"People resonate with our message and thus, we have a long way to go. When I started MannMukti, I was not sure where it would lead us, but I had just one aim in mind: To deter at least one person from taking the path my friend did and support him/her. It’s only then that MannMukti would have achieved its goal, its purpose, its target. We never talked numbers, and instead, were focused on how to change the life of one person."
