Real hunger is not that uncomfortable.”

“Deleuze and Guattari describe capitalism as a kind of dark potentiality which haunted all previous social systems. Capital, they argue, is the ‘unnamable Thing’, the abomination, which primitive and feudal societies ‘warded off in advance’. When it actually arrives, capitalism brings with it a massive desacralization of culture. It is a system which is no longer governed by any transcendent Law; on the contrary, it dismantles all such codes, only to re-install them on an ad hoc basis.”

“Deleuze and Guattari have been totally misunderstood because the following has been wrenched from context: "Forming grammatically correct sentences is for the normal individual the prerequisite for any submission to social laws. No one is supposed to be ignorant of grammaticality; those who are belong in special institutions. The unity of language is fundamentally political." (112)
They are NOT advocating for this sort of prescriptive approach to language; rather, they are describing the social system around language--how language is a political tool. Why persist in quoting them as though they are promoting some sort of linguistic purity?”
“Deleuze's findings are confirmed by those of an experienced woman psychiatrist who for many years has made a study of automatic writing. In conversation this lady has informed me that, sooner or later, most automatists produce scripts in which certain metaphysical ideas are set forth. The theme of these scripts is always the same: namely, the the ground of the individual soul is identical with the divine Ground of all being. Returning to their normal state, the automatists read what they have written and often find it in complete disharmony with what they have always believed.”

“Delhi came as a shock. There were so many people, and oh, the traffic.”
“Delhi is a very maligned city, and deservedly so. Yet there's something about it. It's a secret city, it doesn't hang out its wares. It's like a very deep river. Floating right up on top are the institutions of contemporary power: government, politics, media, and then there's the bureaucracy, the diplomatic missions. But it's also the city of intellectual debate, of protest, it's the city where people from all over the country converge to express their anger. And then, underneath all that, there's this crumbling, ancient city, a confluence of so much history.”
“Delhi is definitely a foodie's paradise.”
“Delhi is excellent. Everything looks so beautiful. In Bombay, we don't have such beautiful roads, spacious places, and you cannot have the luxury of having houses and bungalows. You have to live in little pokey flats and cost of living is extremely high in Mumbai. Delhi has a lot that people keep preserving... a lot of which is what Delhi is about.”
“Delhi is home to a variety of manufacturers that specialize in prefabricated structures. These structures are built off-site in factories and then transported to the construction location for assembly. This method is popular because it can save time and money. Instead of building a structure from scratch on-site, manufacturers can create parts in a controlled environment, which often leads to better quality and less waste. Prefabricated structures can include homes, offices, and even schools, making them a flexible option for different needs. One of the key benefits of prefabricated structures is that they are often quicker to build. Since the parts are made in a factory, construction teams can put them together much faster than traditional building methods. This is especially useful in busy cities like Delhi, where time is valuable, and space can be limited. Many manufacturers in the area focus on using materials that are both strong and eco-friendly, which helps reduce the impact on the environment while still providing a durable product. In addition to being quick and efficient, prefabricated structures can also be customized. Manufacturers can work with clients to create designs that fit their specific requirements. Whether someone needs a small office or a large family home, there are options available that can meet their needs. This level of customization, combined with the speed of construction, makes prefabricated structures a popular choice for many people in Delhi looking for modern and cost-effective building solutions.”
