Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Some of my favorite excerpts from the novel.

1.
“As soon as the cop removed the lid, the aroma of boiled rice immersed in sweetened and steamy hot milk reached their nostrils. Though hunger and thirst dehydrated them, the aroma of hot milk made everyone’s mouth water. All the prisoners stood up and looked at the barrel with immense yearning. The temptation was so intense that the empty stomachs of inmates began to growl audibly. Aurangzeb could see his plan working.”

"Learn to fear a wounded tigress and an insulted woman. I will never forgive you for what you have done to me today. You have savaged my honor. I promise that I will come back at the most vulnerable moment of yours and destroy you. I will be the reason for your ruin one day. I swear an oath to avenge this insult.”
