Quote by Anna Burns

“It was at my back, the silence, making shivers at my back, and I couldn't turn, though my mind began racing. Don't let it be Milkman. Oh please, don't let it be Milkman. Then I did turn and it wasn't Milkman. It was everybody else. Every single person was staring at me in the shop.”

“Khamoshi se matlab nahi, matlab baato se hain Din toh guzar hi jaaenge, masla raato se hain Literal Translation It's not the silence that matters; it's the words that do. Days will pass by anyway, but the issue lies with the nights. Here, the poet suggests that while life moves on, it's the words we long to hear—the meaningful connections—that truly impact us. Days may be busy and fleeting, but in the quiet of the night, emotions and unresolved thoughts resurface, intensifying the absence of those connections.”
