Singhvi also recalled his in interactions with Nariman.

As a raconteur &after dinner speaker, #fali was matchless. It was he who said that using phrase “horse trading” when humans defect is an insult to horses, very loyal animals. He wld dig out nuggets of history &marry them incomparably with his wit when speaking.
