The Tenderness That Comes Into Peoples Voices When They Read To Little Kids

On the subject of Manipur, there is a reference to the state as far back as the Mahabharata.  Chitrangada is a princess of Manipur who marries Arjuna. In most accounts she is a warrior princess, probably from a matrilineal society, who does not accompany Arjuna back to Indraprastha after his years of exile.

Representations of Chitrangada in art: 1. By Pobsant Roockarangsarith (X); 2) Ramendranath Chakravorty’s 1941 woodcut of Chitrangada and Arjuna and 3) Avik Chakraborty’s Royal Ladies of Mahabharata: Chitrangada.

You think murderers get rid of all the evidence and not keep some as a memoir? Like a number plate or a ear.

" वैसे तो शास्त्रों में लिखा हुआ है पर मैंने whatsapp पे पढा था "

do you think about how medieval types were walking around and could imagine a fade haircut in their minds eye but knew that would be really hard to get anywhere

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
