“Reality is not our thoughts and feelings about things. Many of us, for example, think that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. In reality, the Sun neither rises nor sets. We on Earth just move closer to the Sun or farther away from it. Most of us do not see reality as it is but rather as we are. That is waht Krishna is telling Arjuna: To change your reality, change the mental filters through which you look - your own perspective. Just as white building when viewed through red glass looks red, similarly, reality as it is can be distorted by the colours of emotions in the mind.”

“It seems nothing can counteract the proliferation of this Artificial Intelligence based on the zero degree of thought. Nothing, that is, except this reversibility of intelligence and stupidity - the latter representing a renewed challenge to victorious intelligence. There is something here too like a revenge of evil. Something to which the tyranny of reality leads equally well - to appreciating any old form of madness and illusion.”

“লেখালেখি অনেক টা ফার্নিচার তৈরির মতো, একটা আসাব তৈরির জন্য অনেক নিয়ম আছে, অনেক কিছু জানার আছেম যেটা সবাই জানেনা বা পারে না। যেমন আমি অনেক চেয়ারে বসেছি বলেই আমি একটা চেয়ার বানাতে পাড়ব না, ঠিক তেমনই অনেক বই পড়েছি বলেই আমি তেমন একটা বই লিখে ফেলতে পাড়ব না”

“I don't remember. Three words, so simple, yet so duplicitous. What is memory anyways? Echoes of reality, twisted and molded into what we want to believe. What we want to remember. Our brains allow us grace to cope with trauma. They give us space to heal, to come to terms with our actions, our fears.”
