These kids- 2

"Jealousy, like the flawed love that bears it, has no respect for time or space or wisely reasoned argument. Jealousy can raise the dead with a single spiteful taunt, or hate a perfect stranger for nothing more than the sound of his name."- Shantaram.

Sigh. Makes you wonder if it's your jealousy that's flawed, or your love.

Love is never flawed. It is just a very absurd concept.

Beautiful lines! That's why I hate Shantaram. Every line hits like a realization.

@ Anunya
Damn, that doesn't sound like you.

@ Bhikess
Probably why I love it.

Anunaya Jha said...

Well, changes are deliberate happenstances!

"It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured."

The whole damn book is filled with such lines. Guess that's why I love it.
