Quotes by Deepak Unnikrishnan (?)

“The sultan had enormous eyebrows, fibrous like angora wool. In moments of strife, his eyebrows twitched violently. Like now!
His Excellency’s royal blood boiled. Once again another mesmerized American news anchor gushed about Dubai’s vision, hailing the imagination of the al-Maktoum family.
“Where is this vision coming from?” probed Katie Couric.
“Ignorant Yankee!” Sultan Mo-Mo’s British twang bore traces of Basil Fawlty.
The sultan wanted to retch. Dubai’s showboating gave him indigestion, but he continued helping himself to more chips and fiery salsa, downing cold Guinness, smoking excellent hash, humming the theme song of The Wonder Years.”
― Deepak Unnikrishnan, Temporary People

“Some believe
the men become ghosts, haunting
the facades they helped build. When
visiting, take note. If you are outside,
and there are buildings nearby, ghosts
may already be falling, may even have
landed on your person.”
― Deepak Unnikrishnan, Temporary People
