Quotes by Annika Sharma (?)

“It was frustrating how many arbitrary guidelines there were for women. Women were supposed to be smart, strong, independent, forward, brave, fearless, and unique. But they weren’t supposed to shine too bright, be too bold, too sharp. They were supposed to fit in, have friends, make people think they were sexually invigorated but not actually be sexy for themselves, and respect everyone so they would appear soft and feminine. This double-edged sword was encased in a cultural sheath. Every country had customs and traditions that were supposed to be valued and cherished, and India was no different.”
― Annika Sharma, Love, Chai, and Other Four-Letter Words

“You find beauty in the small things,” Nash said, and the tenderness in his eyes was unmistakable. “Isn’t that the only way to live? To find beauty in all moments?” Kiran asked.”
