Padma Lakshmi Quotes
I Once Asked Her If She Was Happy. "That Depends On What I Am Able To Get Done Today," She Said, Laughing. She Told Me That The Completion Of Her Daily Tasks Was The Only Thing She Felt She Had Control Over. They Were A Form Of Meditation, Of Salve. Kept Busy, She Had No Time To Ruminate And No Time For Opinions, Certainly Not Feminist Ones. I Pressed Her: "I Mean, Are You Happy With Your Life, Rajima?" "I Don't Know," She Said Uncomfortably, As If She'd Never Really Considered Such A Question. "When There Is Little You Can Do, You Do What You Can." Happiness For My Grandmother Seemed To Be A Verb Rather Than A Noun. She Had So Little Control Over Her Own Life. Yet She Took Control, Out Of Thin Air For Herself, When She Could.
