More VC

Yes, more VC or Vikram Chandra- who I am enjoying reading considerably. There is something on Orhan Pamuk who I read one book by which I wanted to put up, but more on that later. I am in the middle of Red Earth and Pouring Rain, but reading it remembered a line from Sacred Games which I loved. And there is a new one.

The one from Sacred Games went something like: "Let the young take their places in the trenches. The pitted and weathered have other battles to fight".

And from REPR: "What could my mother be to yours? And what kin is my father to yours anyway? And how did you and I meet ever? But in love our hearts have mingled like red earth and pouring rain".
