"Love, after all, is the ingredient that separates a sacrifice from ordinary, everyday butchery."

"If he touched her, he couldn't talk to her, if he loved her he couldn't leave, if he spoke he couldn't listen, if he fought he couldn't win."

Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

[lswieckitay]

"Our minds are still racing back and forth, longing for a return to ‘normality', trying to stitch our future to our past and refusing to acknowledge the rupture. But the rupture exists. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it." -Arundhati Roy #rufskin #ruflife #style #fashion #lifestyle #mensfashion #photography #artphotography #art #artist #quote #arundhatiroy #homme #new #newyear #past #present #future #forward #imagine #reality #beauty #peace #love #lovelast (at 2021) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJgwxalhGxW/?igshid=1mwtqhrz7hnp4

DELHI — Priyanka: “The title completely threw me off! I thought it would be a motivational or philosophical book. I picked it up because I loved ‘The God of Small Things’ by the same author. It continues to amaze me. This book travels the fault lines of India through two stories. It offers a critique of the social norms and the political scenario in the country, as it was a decade ago. One story is about Anjum, a trans woman who lives in Old Delhi and is a Muslim. She's such a strong character. I fell in love with the book because of the way she pushes against prejudices and finds happiness in small things, like wearing a red lipstick or draping a saree. It's really empowering.” @priyanka.sarda3 #TheMinistryOfUtmostHappiness #ArundhatiRoy / @anoush_0503 for #subwaybookreview #delhi #india 🇮🇳 (at Delhi, India)
