On a daily basis you come across many beautiful lines written by someone. Known or unknown. Some lines are provocative while some are magic to your eyes.

Through this medium (geddit?), I plan to share some of those thought-provoking lines (excerpts, whatever).

Here’s something I read today.

‘…but the sun, like so many things in Madna, was educative. It taught him the aphorisms of common sense: don’t fight the processes of nature, it seemed to say; here, stay indoors as much as you can, if possible turn nocturnal. The world outside is not worth journeying out for, and any beauty out of doors is visible only in the dark, or in the half-light of dawn.’

- English, August (PG 8)

Currently reading:

‘English, August: An Indian story’ is a book by Upamanyu Chatterjee. It journeys the life of an IAS officer into a small district in North India. The simplicity of language and the culture shock makes it for an amazing read, especially on a lazy holiday afternoon.
