Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they regard their honest politicians with silent suspicion.

Too much of Indian writing in English, it seemed to me, consisted of middle-class people writing about other middle-class people - and a small slice of life being passed off as an authentic portrait of the country Picture Quote #1
Greenwich Village always had its share of mind readers, but there are many more these days, and they seem to have moved closer to the mainstream of life in the city. What was crazy 10 years ago is now respectable, even among the best-educated New Yorkers Picture Quote #1

With their tinted windows up, the cars of the rich go like dark eggs down the roads of Delhi. Every now and then an egg will crack open a woman’s hand, dazzling with gold bangles, stretches out an open window, flings an empty mineral water bottle onto the road and then the window goes up, and the egg is resealed Picture Quote #1
It’s amazing. The moment you show cash, everyone knows your language Picture Quote #1
I’ve lived in several countries and been a disaster everywhere Picture Quote #1

Neither. I am just one who has woken up while the rest of you are still sleeping Picture Quote #1
A man’s past keeps growing, even when his future has come to a full stop Picture Quote #1
See, the poor dream all their lives of getting enough to eat and looking like the rich. And what do the rich dream of?? Losing weight and looking like the poor Picture Quote #1
