Among other hobbies, he can also lay claim to half baked cooking attempts (no pun intended), Chess , computer gaming, board gaming , archery,sky diving, bungee jumping, market research , and a string of other very forgettable endeavors.

It's more important to commit words to paper than anything else. It's about getting into the habit of writing every single day, even if you want to tear it all up at the end of each day. Write a thousand words each day and flex the writing muscle within your brain. Slowly and surely you'll get better at it. You'll start liking what you've written and the writing process becomes easier.(less)

An excerpt from Small Gods -Terry Pratchett

 But you … you’re omnicognisant,’ said Brutha.


‘That doesn’t mean I know everything.’


Brutha bit his lip. ‘Um. Yes. It does.’


‘You sure?’


‘Yes.’


‘Thought that was omnipotent.’


‘No. That means you’re all-powerful. And you are. That’s what it says in the Book of Ossory. He was one of the Great Prophets, you know. I hope,’ Brutha added.


‘Who told him I was omnipotent?’


‘You di

Quotes by Rohan Monteiro  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Some accounts suggest that Pandu got confused because the sage in question had a fetish for deer and was either dressed as one or having sex with an actual deer. Regardless, it was the last time Pandu assaulted anyone with a loaded weapon, friendly or otherwise.”
Rohan Monteiro, Shadows Rising

“Draupadi was clearly the kim kardasian of her time - someone with a clear head on her shoulders but nobody really paid attention to anything above her shoulders”
Rohan Monteiro, Shadows Rising

“When Indra wanted to disrupt a sages penance, he would disburse Celestial hotties like OnlyFans subscriptions”
Rohan Monteiro, Shadows Rising

“Turkey Bacon. It's like saying "shoot" instead of "shit." It just doesn't quite carry the moment.”
George Takei, Oh Myyy! : Life, the Internet, Everything

“There is more story in a minor character like Boba Fett than there is in all the clutter of various vampires in the Twilight franchise.”
George Takei, Oh Myyy! : Life, the Internet, Everything

“Unfriending me when I didn’t even know we were friends? It’s like breaking wind when you’re home alone. If I can’t smell you, knock yourself out.”
George Takei, Oh Myyy! : Life, the Internet, Everything

“The thing about smart mother fuckers is that sometimes, they sound like crazy mother fuckers to stupid mother fuckers...”
Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead, Vol. 9: Here We Remain

“It was one of the dullest speeches I ever heard. The Agee woman told us for three quarters of an hour how she came to write her beastly book, when a simple apology was all that was required.”
P.G. Wodehouse, The Girl in Blue
