“Every now and then Micky hit me with various money- making schemes. One of the more memorable ones: ‘I say, Orundhuti, I hear you are a famous actress now.’ ‘Not really . . .’ ‘People say you’re a beautiful girl, but I can’t see you. I have cataract in both my eyes and I need surgery. But I have no money.’ Like a fool, I fell for it and gave him the money. He drank himself into a stupor. Once he recovered, I made him an appoint-ment for the surgery and gave the money directly to the surgeon.” — Arundhati Roy
