Quotes by Anurag Mathur (?)

“Are red haired girls, red all over?”

“His entire life in India had become irrelevant and meant nothing. Not his own achievements, not his family's affluence, everything was beyond the curtain of mirrors with which America bounded itself. Nothing beyond mattered. Here he had to recreate himself, but the basic building block of his new persona was his colour.”
― Anurag Mathur, The Inscrutable Americans

“Here he sensed there was nothing in the landscape but itself. He was delighted at this liberation from history. The trees, the meadows, the houses were just themselves; attractive, healthy, often beautiful, civil in their lack of extremes, open in what they had to offer. There were no poisonous snakes crawling here. How curiously like Americans themselves, he thought. Obviously the characteristics of the land seemed to have entered into the people too. Perhaps, he thought with a start, that was true of India as well. The extremes of kindness and cruelty, the brooding patience, and always, behind the smile, a slithering something.”
― Anurag Mathur, The Inscrutable Americans
