Kindle Notes & Highlights
Readers often ask me if a particular story is true or not, and sometimes the answer surprises them. ‘Love Is a Sad Song’ is a true story, and happened very much in the way I have described. But of course Sushila wasn’t her real name; and the real Sushila is now a grandmother. In Delhi, you grow old. In Deoli you are trapped in a time warp and stay young forever.
‘Oh, no,’ he said. ‘You will always be young. If you have Sushila, you will always be young.’
‘It isn’t time that’s passing by, my friend. It is you and I.’
I may stop loving you, Sushila, but I will never stop loving the days I loved you.
