@gajrakottary in the new exObjects book:
‘Looking back, I can say that my father was a perfectionist and a minimalist. Especially when it came to his kurtas. Once, he did not get either of the exact shades of beige at his preferred sale, and so the experimentation began.’
@shinieantony in the new exObjects book:
‘Dad was always saying the wrong thing, doing the right thing. Lucky for us we don’t rob or kill for a living, because he’d merrily have turned us in, visited us in jail and told us in excruciating detail what people were saying about us.’

@shinieantony in the new exObjects book:
‘grief loses its raw flamboyance and settles down into a prosaic number of finite things left behind, those articles of continuum and belonging, carrying within them words and voices, quirks and little eccentricities. Entire people’
Jerry Pinto in the new exObjects book:
‘… things don’t disappear in the way that people do. People go. They walk away. They run. Sometimes they are running from situations and circumstances or so they say. But in truth, they are always running away from people.’

@Jaishreemisra in the new exObjects book:
‘hence the shock of coming across an innocuous paper bag stuffed with written declarations of love, some in card form, others in now tattered inland letters. What was I to do with this private cache that belonged firmly to another world?’
@vikramsampath in the new exObjects book:
‘because precocious talent was seemingly noticed in her son who sang random jingles and bhajans with a clear voice, Ma went the extra mile. Somewhere on the journey she perhaps saw a consummation of her unfulfilled desire to learn music’
I seldom talk about my personal life & it's several aspects but when @shinieantony reached out to contribute a piece for this beautiful book that captures "Loss" through objects left behind, i couldn't say no. Have written a heartfelt piece on my departed mother & what void that brings in my life. For those interested, pls do read this anthology that has several other stellar contributors.
