Shashi Tharoor
“India is not, as people keep calling it, an underdeveloped country, but rather, in the context of its history and cultural heritage, a highly developed one in an advanced state of decay.”
Shashi Tharoor

Jhumpa Lahiri
“My grandfather says that's what books are for," Ashoke said, using the opportunity to open the volume in his hands. "To travel without moving an inch.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake

Shashi Tharoor
“India shaped my mind, anchored my identity, influenced my beliefs, and made me who I am. ... India matters to me and I would like to matter to India.”
Shashi Tharoor

Jhumpa Lahiri
“Isolation offered its own form of companionship”
Jhumpa Lahiri, The Lowland

Rohinton Mistry
“What folly made young people, even those in middle age, think they were immortal? How much better, their lives, if they could remember the end.

Rohinton Mistry, Family Matters
