Anu Lal QUOTES

1 " Silence is the language of the cosmos. From the smallest stone to the sun itself, they all communicate through silence, greatly rich with meaning and deep, very deep. In order to understand it, we need to have a special mind. "

― Anu Lal , Wall of Colours and Other Stories

2 " Our lives would have been a hell-of-a-lot better, had we known how to survive with what we have in excess. "

― Anu Lal , Wall of Colours and Other Stories

3 " Behind its blue face, the love of the sky shines in the gleam of stars. "

― Anu Lal , Wall of Colours and Other Stories

4 " A short story is not a portrayal of life. When life becomes disconsolate and the fear for the unknown seeps through the holes on the walls that we thought could protect us, telling a story could greatly help. The tradition of storytelling was oral, once. It's history. The wisdom in this history was the possibility to abide. Stories were medicines to drive away the ghosts of loneliness, boredom and ignorance. "

5 " Perhaps, writing is like the taste of honey sucked from flowers in a garden, each tasting differently. "

― Anu Lal , Wall of Colours and Other Stories

6 " The struggle for a life extracts all our attention, and leaves us blind, deaf, dumb and senseless. The writer, the artist, the musician vanishes, without even the charity of a proper cremation. At this point words become formless sounds, and thoughts run out of paper and jump out of the terra firma and fly in the air, forcing us to find someone to share them with, someone who could understand. The fear of wasting words is the worst kind of it, only a writer knows. "

― Anu Lal , Wall of Colours and Other Stories

7 " I am very well aware of the fact that best learning is the learning from within, but due to his essential temperaments, the layman always goes for the outside knowledge, what others say. "
