“All I could do was hide deep within the safety of my past memories.”
Diana Kouprina, Borderline: A Poetic Memoir

Scaachi Koul
“Fitting is a luxury rarely given to immigrants, or children of immigrants. We are stuck in emotional purgatory. Home, somehow, is always the last place you left, and never the place you're in.”
Scaachi Koul, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter
