“Their casual discussion of the characteristics of the man who had shown interest in their mother had seemed unreal to her.”
Musharraf Ali Farooqi, The Story of a Widow

Tarun J. Tejpal
“In the winter of 1987 India was full of iskeems that had gone awry. Agricultural iskeems, political iskeems, economic iskeems, educational iskeems, stop black money iskeems, attract white tourists iskeems, drinkable water iskeems, animal protection iskeems, women's welfare iskeems, nurture children iskeems, don't scan female foetus iskeems, privatization iskeems, medical iskeems, entertainment iskeems, old India iskeems and new India iskeems.
We had mastered the art of nomenclature from the white man.
Grand labels could disguise unforgivable things.”
Tarun J. Tejpal, The Alchemy of Desire

Musharraf Ali Farooqi, The Story of a Widow

Tarun J. Tejpal
“As a friend often said, India is a gymkhana club, where the people have the votes, but the politicians and the bureaucrats have the membership.”

“You always maintained that he was a good father, but I always told you and I'll say it again today, so what if he was a good father? How does that redeem him if he was a bad husband?”
Musharraf Ali Farooqi, The Story of a Widow
