Quotes from Life's Peculiarities

“For the only bachi that could be spotted then was an eight year old scampering behind what seemed to be her father after she threw a fearful glance at us.”
“The lack of concrete education and nourishment resulted in a product that sat cross-legged now in front of me, oblivious to my critical gaze all the time.”
“Rakhshi never called me bhayya, save the times when Amma forced her to and that was years ago when she was learning to speak.”
