Pink Lines On A Dark Sky - A Coming Of Age Romance (Odd Tales From Bombay And Bangalore, #3) / Odd Tales From Bombay And Bangalore (ePub)

Rati, September 2001
"I do not want to go out today. I look at the pink paper that I have kept in the upper drawer of my study table. The paper has a poem, I think it is about me. It is about a girl whose smile is out of the world. Is that guy a weirdo? Who writes poems at eleven? But he is cute, and super serious."

Samay, January 2008
"I know she is lying. I do not mind. I know she wants to be seen as a strong person. And strong people do not cry. But we writers know. The real strong person does not mind crying. But I let her lie, because she is being honest, as she always is."

Rati, July 2009
"That's what everyone thinks when they are young. You need money, it is a reality. Everyone starts with a very optimistic view of the world, but then disillusionment hits fast, and it is too late by then. In my opinion, even being a plumber is better than being a writer."

Samay, August 2010
"She is like that. Impulsive, dominating, endearing, talkative, beautiful - adjectives end when you start describing her. Descriptions are not meant for people like Rati. They are what they are, ethereal and otherworldly."
