Mihika Nagari Quotes

“Song of Mihika Nagari

Every night, ships cut through the fog.
Their sailors sip their dark, dangerous grog.
No one sees them arrive. No one sees them leave.
Mihika Nagari traps them in her weave.

Happiness is a transaction, and gold buys time.
Weed is temptation, every voice is chime.
The goddess, once mighty, now slumbers in shame,
Her temples turned brothels, her blessings now lame.

By dawn, everyone's gone, no trace, no name,
The city denies that they ever came.
But one day the goddess will rise and glare,
And the city will sink, as if never there.”
― Shon Mehta, Stories Of Jivavarta
