Famous Alka Dimri Saklani Quotes

“Have you ever seen a boulder along the ocean? Rock solid, standing tall under the sun, the rain, and the wind. Then one day, a tidal wave hits, and the boulder shatters down into pieces, shocking everyone. What nobody knows is that the boulder had been weak for a long time. Tiny cracks had formed with every lash of the wind, every splash of the wave, every betrayal of destiny. It was already broken inside. The last stroke just disassembled it, shattering it for the world to see. I am that boulder.”

“I was good at expressing my ambitions and my desires, my anger, and my joy, but despite that, I failed at expressing my loneliness. I always stood up for what I believed in. But I also wanted to be loved, and the sad truth is that, sometimes, if you are too independent, people believe you don’t need love. You have to pay the price for your independence. You can be right, but being right when you have no one on your side isn’t actually a win.”

“Trying to divert my mind, I look around the tiny living room. The peach of the faded wall reminds me why I hate the colour so much – it reminds me of this home and many other things. I avert my gaze and it lands on the wrinkled brown curtains with a tiny hole at the bottom. I wonder when was it washed last. The sofa set, the centre table, the diwan, everything needs a replacement. Even the memories.”

“The sunset looks so beautiful from here. Doesn’t it?” I asked. She looked at the setting sun far away with a sad smile. “Isn’t it strange how the world can see beauty in something that is losing itself to darkness?” I wasn’t sure if it was her husky voice or the depth of her words that pulled me to her. “What’s wrong with darkness?” I asked, sitting at a distance on the same boulder. Her deep hazel eyes narrowed on me before she diverted her attention back to the endless sea. “Probably nothing…” I thought that was it, but after a moment, she added, “as far as it’s not within us.”

“I am too ruined for the world.” You said once, and it broke my heart, because you were the purest person I had ever known. “Or maybe the world is too ruined for you,” I countered. You closed your eyes, absorbing my words. I saw the impact they had on you, as you whispered, hugging yourself, with a strange mix of pain and relief etched on your face, “I am not ruined.” Something had transformed in you when you finally opened your eyes and said, “I think I am falling in love.”
