A Suitable Boy, on good marriage

[dafliwali]

@radioactiveoreoshake has convinced me to listen to the whole album of a suitable boy. ngl the song titles themselves are so beautiful.

i am going to dive into new music tonight as i solve laws of motion and chemical bonding mcqs. i'll also hopefully update how the study session and music experience went before leaving for my coaching tomorrow.

You can't blame her,' said Amit. 'After a life so full of tragedy anyone would become hard.''What tragedy?' asked Mrs. Chatterji.'Well, when she was four,' said Amit, 'her mother slapped her--it was quite traumatic--and then things went on in that vein. When she was twelve she came in second in an exam...It hardens you.

very niche but maan going to banaras only to wash his bloodied hands and confessing his crime. Something about banaras being the only place for truth

A Suitable Boy (2020)

[aneshb25]

Its 2024, and finally I am done with A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth after 3 months

And FUCK I AM OBSESSING over it!

The writings, the plot, the poetry and omg the characters.

And oh MAAN & FIROZ shut the fuck up I need to know what happened to them. I need to draw fanarts and write fanfics cause oh holy lord I am simping on these two 1950s bisexual idiots I can cry. The simplicity yet the poetry and fate that revolves around them, how every narrative comes to full circle, its so brilliant.

This book just gave me another perception of love and marriage through LATA! Her choosing the man finally made so much sense and apt. The backdrop of post independent India.. oof such a classic!!!
