“Believe me,' the badshah says, 'today or tomorrow, every one of us will lose someone close to us, someone we love. The lucky ones are those who can grow old pretending they have some control over their lives, but even they will realize at some point that everything is uncertain, bound to disappear forever. We are just specks of dust in this world, glimmering for a moment in the sunlight, and then disappearing into nothing. You have to learn to make your peace with that.”
Deepa Anappara, Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line

“What is a whole life? If you die when you’re still a child, is your life whole or half or zero?”
Deepa Anappara, Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line

“Our gods are too busy to hear our prayers, but ghosts - ghosts have nothing to do but wait and wander, wander and wait, and they are always listening to our words because they are bored and that‘s one way to pass the time.”
Deepa Anappara, Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line
