Quote by Devika Todi

“Imagine a room With six walls and a ceiling Two full of windows Two full of mirrors And two cream walls that could easily be mistaken as being painted by light. Each morning, the scorching sun enters the room And fills each corner till it is overflowing- The windows give and take sunlight (There is no escape door or breather). The mirrors burn and blind All the walls are fires of their own. In that choking space, you have a small table fan to your name. Calcutta summer for you.”

“That song always made me thankful for her, for Simone. There's this peace that comes with knowing you have a person in the world who would do anything for you, that you would do anything for. She was the first time I ever had that. I got a little bit teary in the car listening to that song. I turned to Simone and I opened my mouth to talk, but she just nodded and said, 'Me too.”
