“याद आता है बेमकसद नहर की पुलिया पर बैठना, खेतों में घूमना। मई-जून की गर्मी में गांव का जीवन और दिसंबर-जनवरी की रातों में खेतों की रखवाली करते किसान। वो गिलास भरकर छाछ पीना, थाली में रात की ठंडी रोटी के साथ पानी वाली हरी मिर्च और ताजा मक्खन, बाजरे की खिचड़ी में ढ़ेर सारा अलूणा घी... जिस तरह बचपन नहीं रहा, अब वे दिन भी नहीं रहे।”

“The more you grow as a person, the more homes you find, the more homes you make, the more homes you share. Each return to a home you once left becomes a realization that it takes up a smaller and smaller place among all the homes you now know.

“Cuando el pelotón lo apuntó, la rabia se había materializado en una sustancia viscosa y amarga que le adormeció la lengua y lo obligó a cerrar los ojos. Entonces desapareció el resplandor de aluminio del amanecer, y volvió a verse a sí mismo, muy niño, con pantalones cortos y un lazo en el cuello, y vio a su padre en una tarde espléndida conduciéndolo al interior de la carpa, y vio el hielo.”

“One opponent’s ostensible generosity might a few moves later guarantee the other’s downfall. Thus, collaboration tended to come at a price. The analogy to real life was impossible to miss. But Granny was not given to moralizing. Ostensibly, we played only for amusement. We never mentioned parallels with the ins and outs of family affairs”
