“Life had lost all its casual joy. I had become very serious, avoided company, and often wasted hours and days in my office or home,
doing nothing but thinking of what I could have done to save my
team.”
― Rajiv Kapoor, The Peacock Throne Wars

“I was afraid that Noor would hear the explosions going on in my chest and become alarmed, but she was similarly affected and turned her head towards me, and I saw her hazel eyes turn soft in the moonlight.”
