Avinash’s Quotes

“I was part of a band of eleven fortunate men who had been given the duty of representing close to a billion Indians. It was an honour every aspiring cricketer lives for, to play for his country against the best of world cricket. And with the honour came responsibility. I was going to be accountable to the cricket fans back home and was expected to give my best for them.”

“I've seen it happen over and over again: a black person gets killed just for being black, and all hell breaks loose. I’ve tweeted RIP hashtags, reblogged pictures on Tumblr, and signed every petition out there. I always said that if I saw it happen to somebody, I would have the loudest voice, making sure the world knew what went down.

Now I am that person, and I’m too afraid to speak.”

“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.”

“जालपा ने कमरे में आकर अपनी संदूकची खोली और उसमें से वह कांच का चन्द्रहार निकाला जिसे एक दिन पहनकर उसने अपने को धन्य माना था। पर अब इस नए चन्द्रहार के सामने उसकी चमक उसी भाँति मंद पड़ गयी थी, जैसे इस निर्मल चंद्रज्योति के सामने तारों का आलोक। उसने उस नकली हार को तोड़ डाला और उसके दानों को नीचे गली में फेंक दिया, उसी भाँति जैसे पूजन समाप्त हो जाने के बाद कोई उपासक मिट्टी की मूर्तियों को जल में विसर्जित कर देता है।”
― Munshi Premchand, Gaban
