Quotes by Nandini Bajpai (?)

“There are some advantages of being unmarriageable. If you have a liking for mathematics, you needn’t suppress it. If you loathe cooking, you needn’t cultivate it. And, above all, you needn’t worry about leaving your mother’s house for a stranger’s.”
― Nandini Bajpai, Starcursed
