Quote by Lokesh Tuli

“They don't tell you about the curse of travelling. You went out there and saw the colors, tasted the wine, saw the chaos. You expanded our minds until they couldn't fit back into these little boxes people call ‘NORMAL lives.' Now, the local gossip feels petty. The 9-to-5 feels like a cage. It’s the curse of the wanderer. You fit in everywhere, so you don't fit in anywhere.”

“When you travel, You fall in love in fast-forward. Because you know there is an expiration date. You know one of you has a flight on Tuesday. It’s not romance. Don't kid yourself. It’s a desperation. You’re alone in a city that doesn't speak your language. You find someone else who looks just as lost as you. You hold onto each other. You squeeze a lifetime into a weekend. You swear it means something. Then the train comes. The bus leaves. And you’re just left with a phone number you’ll never call and a spot in the bed that gets cold real fast. It’s a cheap trick. But we fall for it every time.”

“An aroma of cedar and lemon fill my senses, and I return to a cellar miles to the north, where a red-haired boy I loved made me feel less alone. I have spent so long hating the Nightbringer that I never mourned who he used to be. Keenan, my first love, my friend, a boy who understood my loss so deeply because he had endured his own.”
