“Menstruating doesn’t cause pickles to spoil, temples to collapse or food to rot, nor is it contagious, though it would be rather nice to infect the male population with this so-called ‘curse’ for a month or two, just to sit back and view what I am sure would be a highly entertaining spectacle.”

“You and everyone you know are going to be dead soon. And in the short amount of time between here and there, you have a limited amount of fucks to give. Very few, in fact. And if you go around giving a fuck about everything and everyone without conscious thought or choice—well, then you’re going to get fucked.”

“I immediately correct him. ‘The word is not idiot but illeist. Illeist is a person who talks in the third person, whereas an idiot just talks; though they sound similar, they cannot be used in place of each other.’ Shrugging his shoulders and giving me a goofy grin, he retorts, ‘I don’t know what an illeist is but I know an idiot when I see one.’ The baby immediately stops playing with her tea set, looks up and says, ‘Where idiot? Show me!”
― Twinkle Khanna, Mrs Funnybones: She's just like You and a lot like Me
