“He asked for the Ganesha one three nights running. The Hindi page is the first thing my mother read to him on a video call.”
“She chose the second ending and then wanted to see the first one too. Both are printed in the book. That is the part I did not expect.”
“Beside the hero, not as the god. I did not know how much I needed someone to say that until I read it.”
“The buttons are big enough for my finger. That is all I ask of a phone.”
