"Where narratives in film and fiction often rely on virtually immediate reactions, reality is far more insistent and infmitely (literally) more patient." Oct 12, 2022 11:52PM

“अपना-अपना नसीब है भाई! कुछ लोग जिंदगी भर दूसरों की सिस्टर सेट करते हैं और कुछ लोग जिंदगी भर दूसरों का बिस्तर सेट करते हैं।”

Ruskin Bond
“The deer’s life is over, but he has not lived in fear of death. It is only man’s imagination and fear of the hereafter that makes him afraid of meeting death.”
Ruskin Bond, Unhurried Tales: My Favourite Novellas

Ruskin Bond
“The nettles stung me viciously on the hands and face, and I cursed in my best Hindustani. The European languages have their strengths, but for the purposes of cursing out loud you can’t beat some of the Indian languages for range and originality.”
Ruskin Bond, Tales of Fosterganj

Giriraj Kishore
“जैसे कैक्टस का पौधा कम जल पीता है, बड़े आदमी का बच्चा कम पढता है।”
Giriraj Kishore, ढाई घर

Ruskin Bond
“In due course, life returned to normal, as it always does in India, post earthquakes, cyclones, riots, epidemics and cricket controversies. Apathy, or lethargy, or a combination of the two, soon casts a spell over everything and the most traumatic events are quickly forgotten.”
Ruskin Bond, Tales of Fosterganj

Ruskin Bond
“I had always considered it an admirable thing to break away from security and respectability. Of course, it is easier for a man to do this. A man can look after himself, he can do without neighbours and the approval of the local society. A woman, I reasoned, would do anything for love provided it was not at the price of security; for a woman loves security as much as a man loves independence.”
Ruskin Bond, Unhurried Tales: My Favourite Novellas
