Bend over democracy, pose for the camera!

Firstly, I will reiterate. Narendra Modi will (still) go down as one of the greatest prime ministers and leaders in the brief history of independent India. History will be kinder to him and not to Manmohan Singh. A litany of policy changes, basic amenity availability and massive projects that are key to provide for our densely populated country (it has been for millennia) stand witness to this.

Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond
"This is what happens when you take an intelligent person, and casually make a few mentions of a field of study they have no knowledge of.

Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond
"Stopped on page 88 for the time being, because, man, do people ever suck. We historically sucked. But since humans used to invade other humans' territory and do a lot of killing, at least things have changed now.

Oh, wait."

“Memory is a snare, pure and simple; it alters, it subtly rearranges the past to fit the present.”
Mario Vargas Llosa

Naomi Shihab Nye
“It is really hard to be lonely very long in a world of words. Even if you don't have friends somewhere, you still have language, and it will find you and wrap its little syllables around you and suddenly there will be a story to live in.”
Naomi Shihab Nye, I'll Ask You Three Times, Are You OK?: Tales of Driving and Being Driven

Joseph Conrad
“You fight, work, sweat, nearly kill yourself, sometimes do kill yourself, trying to accomplish something — and you can’t. Not from any fault of yours. You simply can do nothing, neither great nor little — not a thing in the world — not even marry an old maid, or get a wretched 600-ton cargo of coal to its port of destination.”
Joseph Conrad, Youth, a Narrative

“Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.”
