“On a motorcycle, I learned to let go of the vast uncertainty and focus instead on what is in front of me: the surface of the road and the curve of it, the vehicles in front and behind, the wind and the rain and the wildlife peeking out of the grass. There are times when I struggle to manage every last detail as it whips pat me, to hold on to past and present and future simultaneously, but they're not mine to understand, or control. I have to remind myself, again and again, that only this is mine: this moment, this heartbeat, this decision.”

“Zindagi ke kisse, chand lamhon mein rachay,
Aate hain log, rang bharne, phir chale jaate hain saath chhod ke.

Mulaqatein adhuri si, baatein teri yaadon mein khoyi,
Tanha safar, kyun lagta hai, kahani mein hai kuch khaas baat.

Tooti doriyan, rishton ke silsile mein chhupi hain,
Har musafir le kar aata hai, ek anokhi kahani, phir raahein hi bhatak jaati hain.”
― Huzefa Nalkheda wala
