Quotes by A.K. Ramanujan (?)

“You want self-knowledge? You should come to America.
Just as the Mahatma had to go to jail and sit behind bars
to write his autobiography.
Or Nehru had to go to England to discover India. Things are clear
only when looked at from a distance.”
― A.K. Ramanujan

“The heart in misery
has turned
upside down.

The blowing gentle breeze
is on fire.
O friend moonlight burns
like the sun.”
