The stink
(A short story by Sidharth VardhanFirst written on July 10, 2024)
It was creeping in everywhere, she could feel it on her, in her. The stink. It surrounded her like a blanket of contaminated air; smothering, choking her.
Leaving his office, catching the bus and the whole ride back home may have happened in a trance, she would later have no memory of it. No memory of how she had carried that hun

quote
“Peoples once accustomed to masters are not in a condition to do without them. If they attempt to shake off the yoke, they still more estrange themselves from freedom, as, by mistaking for it an unbridled license to which it is diametrically opposed, they nearly always manage, by their revolutions, to hand themselves over to seducers, who only make their chains heavier than before.”

From how many crimes, wars and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.”

| Utopian novels never work for me partially because they seem to ignore the differences in human beings, assuming the same thing will render everyone happy. In this one, that thing is actually physical hard work for unattractive jobs. This idea of a s ...more | |

“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”

“Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”

Thank you! A very Happy New Year to you, too! ^.^
Loving the new profile picture. Moriarty from the TV show, right?
Hi! Thanks for being my friend! Looking forward to your reviews and updates! Cheers!
*waves at Sidharth*Thank you for the invite! Your answer actually made me laugh. :))
You live in Sangrur? We're practically neighbours!
Thank you for the friend invite, I´m happy to approve it :-)
Yeah, you keep disappearing! :PNice to see you again, Sidharth! :D
:-) I am doing fine, my friend. Lot of reading is happening; Hope i will be back with the habit of jotting down some of my notes as reviews on GR soon...
I like your read list and always loved the books which you suggested. Top three favourite authors? I know FD is at number 1.
Hi there Sidharth, thanks for the friend-vite :)
Hi Sidharth,Of course I remember you. We were GR friends already so I'm wondering what happened. I hadn't seen your updates in a while and thought you might be on a break or something. How's things at your end?
Hey Sidharth, Thanks for the friend invite! Looking forward to the bookish discussions :))
