Quotes by Vikram Paralkar (?)

“Health itself appeared so bleak a state that sickness and death wrung little pity from him any more. Sometimes, when a patient’s final breaths seemed no more than the last turns of a wheel, leaving behind an object to be removed, charred, turned to ash, and stirred into a riverbed, his indifference terrified even him.”
― Vikram Paralkar, Night Theater

“The lack of gods in the clinic troubled her, though. In a place that people visited for fear of death there needed to be some source of hope.”
― Vikram Paralkar, Night Theater
