Jim Corbett
“There are events in one's life which, no matter how remote, never fade from memory”
Jim Corbett, Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag

Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay
“The day that man discovered the tools to kill another human being, he also brought into being a weapon that could boomerang upon him at any time. The sophisticated weaponry that is, in great secrecy, being produced all over the world today, might one day serve to destroy the entire human race. Like the demon who sprung into being from Brahma’s imagination, like Frankenstein’s monster, it won’t even spare its creators. Don’t you think so?”
Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay, Picture Imperfect: and other Byomkesh Bakshi Mysteries

Nabaneeta Dev Sen
“মনে মনে সারাদিন দেখা, মনে মনে নিত্য সহবাস
সারাক্ষণ কাছে কাছে থাকি, সারাদিন কথা বলি
"বইখানা কোথায় ফেললে?"
বেরুচ্ছো কি? ফিরবে কখন?'
মনে মনে লাগিয়ে দি'জামার বোতাম
ভুরু থেকে সরিয়ে দি' ঝুঁকে-পড়া কেশ
মনে মনে এগিয়ে দি' কলম, রুমাল।
মনে মনে অহর্নিশি,মনে মনে সারা দিনরাত
খুব ঝগড়া, খুব যত্ন, মনে মনে আদরটাদর
সারাদিন সারারাত, আজীবন নিখিল বিস্তার-
মনে মনে মনের মানুষ।”
Nabaneeta Dev Sen

“The brightest flashes in the world of thought are incomplete until they have been proved to have their counterparts in the world of fact.”
John Tyndall

“As I have often said later, I was thrown into this little dusty town in Gujarat and into the lives of the dairy farmers of Kaira district by what I consider to be a sheer accident of fate – what turned out to be a strange pre-planned act of destiny. I had always imagined that I was cut out for ‘bigger and better things’ – for a glamorous, fast-paced life in a big city, a job with a prestigious firm and the pleasures of the luxurious lifestyle that go with it. Anand did not figure anywhere in my scheme of things. But I had to honour the contract with the Government of India which had enabled my higher studies in the US and therefore, here I was in Anand, a fish out of water.”
Verghese Kurien, I Too Had a Dream
