Siddhartha Deb Quotes

Prabhakar Was Waiting For Me At The Bus Station, Smiling Happily Through The Rain. He Led Me Through The People Gathered At The Bus Station, Past Shops Selling Cheap Household Items And Eating Places Where Pakoras Were Being Fried In Bubbling Oil. The Brands And Consumerism Of Urban India Had Disappeared, And Although I Felt An Acute Sense Of Displacement, I Was Oddly Comforted By The Rough Utilitarianism Of The Place, Which Reminded Me Of The India I Had Grown Up In.

There Were No Cafes Where I Could Hide My Loneliness Behind A Cup Of Coffee And An Open Laptop, No Shopping Aisles Where I Could Wander, Picking Out Items That Momentarily Created An Image Of A Better Life. There Was No Escape Here Except Through Human Relationships, And For That I Was Utterly Dependent On Prabhakar Speeding Through The Rain On His Motorcycle.
