“A man on a bike was riding on the pavement. When he tried to plunge into the road, a car hit him. He fell down but managed to get up. He looked shocked. That, Ayyan loved. After riding like a moron all over the place, observe the face of an Indian when he crashes. He is stunned.”
― Manu Joseph, Serious Men: A Novel

― Manu Joseph, Serious Men

“Relationship Time to Aloneness." Having a companion fixes you in time and that of the present, but when the quality of aloneness settles down, past, present and future all flow together. A memory, a present event, and a forecast all equally present.”
― Steinbeck

“Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.”
