“And after they had made love, she became more than everything for him. Like that other source of domestic strife, Saeeda Bai too made hungry where most she satisfied. Part of it was simply the delicious skill with which she made love. But even more than that it was her nakhra, the art of pretended hurt or disaffection that she had learned from her mother and other courtesans in the early days in Tarbuz ka Bazaar. Saeeda Bai practised this with such curious restraint that it became infinitely more believable. One tear, one remark that implied—perhaps, only perhaps implied— that something he had said or done had caused her injury—and Maan's heart would go out to her. No matter what the cost to himself, he would protect her from the cruel, censorious world. For minutes at a time he would lean over her shoulder and kiss her neck, glancing every few moments at her face in the hope of seeing her mood lift. And when it did, and he saw that same bright, sad smile that had so captivated him when she sang at Holi at Prem Nivas, he would be seized by a frenzy of sexual desire. Saeeda Bsi seemed to know this, and graced him with a smile only when she herself was in the mood to satisfy him.”

“Appetite not interest makes the world go around. Did you know that we are daily led by our priorities, not our interests however varied they may be? We are interested in a lot of things that we do not act on but what brings us satisfaction and a sense of benefit is what we daily gravitate to and gravitate with a purpose. We will move heaven and earth to accomplish something we are passionate about while the things that lead us to yawn, we move away from as quickly as we can.”

“Remind yourself that successful salespeople love their product and their company, and they love to sell and prospect. If you don’t have that kind of love on most days and most of every day, then it is time to make a change. Or better yet, re-sign on the dotted line and start over. Doing the same things over and over again and expecting a magic carpet ride across the world is pitiful thinking and the kind of reasoning that will keep you poor with a capital “P”.”
