"I was just sold on the book when I searched the author and came across his AI-panic article in Time. The article didn't convince me the situation is as bad and frightful as he describes it, instead gave me an intense mad scientist energy T_T
I'm gonna have a hard time reconciling this image of the author with the content of his book." — Jul 11, 2025 10:01AM

"Having read Kabuliwalla so many times for ICSE boards, dissecting all its themes, memorising its choice of phrases, I did not expect it to move me to tears yet again after all this time.
Tagore's short stories are gifts that just keep on giving." — Mar 04, 2025 11:06PM

Ipse domi stimul ac nummos contemplar in arca.
(The public hiss at me, but I cheer myself when in my own house I contemplate the coins in my strong-box.)”

“The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own,' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life -- the life God is sending one day by day.”

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order—willed, faked, and so brought into being; it is a peace and a haven set into the wreck of time; it is a lifeboat on which you find yourself, decades later, still living.”
