Quotes by Priya Basil (?)

“What's the fun in standing in the outskirts of love and feeling superior? There's no shame in having got it wrong. Whereas its a shame when you don't even give yourself the chance of getting it right. Better to have loved and lost...”

“A dish is not just the sum of its parts, it is its maker, its occasion, the company in which it is eaten.”

“Nobody in the world welcomes us quite like our parents do. The reception, if we're lucky, is a simultaneous cosseting and taking for granted.
