One Liners

Among many things that make a book a great experience are the one-liners and conversations.
I would like to share some of my favorite lines from few books.

To start, here is a sentence about writers, by a writer.

1.
A conversation of 2 young boys in Banaras City at a road side tea shop, about The Writer.

A- “Who is he ?“
B- “He is a writer, @#$% ke (cuss words)”
A- “What does he do?”
B- “Nothing much, whatever we talk, he just writes it...”

Kashi ka Assi- Kashinath Singh

2.
“I swear to god, God is a Pathetic Script Writer”

Kasap- Manohar Shyam Joshi (He is a great author and script writer of Television serials like, Hamlog, Buniyaad, Kakkaji Kahin, Mungeri Lal ke Haseen Sapne and many others....)

3.
Shekhar to mother- “ Maa- From where did Chandra (younger brother) came?
Maa- “The maid brought him to us”
Shekhar to Maid – “Why did u bring such small brother? Should have brought somewhat bigger”
Maid- “I didn’t bring him, the doctor brought him in his bag”

Shekhar realised both were telling lies.
After few days.

Shekhar to Mother – “Do doctors also go to the birds?”
Mother- “No, why do u ask?“
Shekhar- “Then where do birds get their children from?”
Mother- “From Eggs”
Shekhar felt now she was telling some truth. He asked with a bit of hope.
Shekhar- “And where do eggs come from ?”
Mother- “GOD sends them”

Again the same obstruction. In the path of knowledge the biggest obstruction is GOD...
