".. the secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets.
The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to
hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit
comfortably. They don’t deceive you with thrills and
trick endings. They don’t surprise you with the unforeseen.
They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell
of your lover’s skin. You know how they end, yet you listen
as though you don’t. In the way that although you know
that one day you will die, you live as though you won’t.
In the Great Stories you know who lives, who dies, who
finds love, who doesn’t. And yet you want to know again.

That is their mystery and their magic."

Or more accurately,in hate..?

Nhi padha jata mujh se Ramayan jismi Ram ko bola gya ho,

Or Sita ko apne Charitr k liy deni pari ho "Agnipriskha",

I'm not ambitious. I don't want to get anywhere, I don't want anything more. I sometimes think that for me that is the real freedom, that I don't want anything. I don't want money or prizes. I want people to know that a war is going to be fought.

If ever you feel like gathering more followers on yourquote, other social media platforms or even in real life, remember that Baba Ram Rahim has
more followers than Arundhati Roy.
