just completed 'the illicit happiness of other people' by manu joseph and i'd like to share this paragraph that made me laugh.
Thoma wonders whether he is in love with her. And the question terrifies him because the fate of love in Madras is neatly divided into four kinds of sui/cide.
Lovers who know that their parents will never let them marry go to a cheap hotel room, get into wedding clothes and eat rat poison.
If they elope instead, their parents will consume the same rat poison.
If it is only the girl’s parents who object to the marriage, she is most likely to immolate herself.
Men who are spurned by girls almost always hang themselves from a ceiling fan. Men very rarely set fire to themselves for a girl.

Where do people go once tales end? Also where do old birds go to die? Why don't old ones fall like stones from the sky?
