कितना मुश्किल होता है न? जब आप खुद किसी स्थिति के बिल्कुल बीच में हों, तो यह समझ पाना कि असल में क्या चल रहा है? पीछे मुड़कर देखने पर ही हमें चीज़ें जैसी हैं वैसी नज़र आती हैं।

It's so difficult, isn't it? To see what's going on when you're in the absolute middle of something? It's only with hindsight we can see things for what they are.

मैंने अपनी आँखें बंद कर लीं और खुद को अपने गम के हवाले कर दिया। किसी तरह, लाचार महसूस करना थोड़ा सुकून दे रहा था। मुझे खुद पर कोई शर्मिंदगी महसूस नहीं हो रही थी।

I closed my eyes and abandoned myself to my grief. It felt better, somehow, to be helpless. I didn't feel ashamed.

चीजों को आसान बनाने और उन्हें अपनी पसंद के मुताबिक ढालने के लिए हम लगातार सच बदलते रहते हैं, इतिहास को अपने हिसाब से लिखते हैं। हम ये सब अपने-आप, बिना सोचे-समझे कर लेते हैं। हम खुद ही यादें गढ़ लेते हैं। अगर हम खुद से बार-बार यह कहें कि ऐसा हुआ था, तो हम उस पर यकीन करने लगते हैं, और फिर सचमुच हमें वह बात याद भी आने लगती है।

We’re constantly changing facts, rewriting history to make things easier, to make them fit in with our preferred version of events. We do it automatically. We invent memories. Without thinking. If we tell ourselves something happened often enough we start to believe it, and then we can actually remember it.

मैंने आँखें बंद कर लीं और उसने बमुश्किल अपने होंठों से मेरी पलकों को छुआ। मुझे ऐसा लगा जैसे मैं सुरक्षित हूँ, अपने घर पर हूँ। मुझे लगा मानो उसकी बाहों में, उसके करीब होना ही वह एकमात्र जगह है जहाँ मैं सही मायनों में ताल्लुक रखती हूँ। वही एकमात्र जगह थी जहाँ मैं हमेशा से होना चाहती थी। हम कुछ देर खामोश लेटे रहे, एक-दूसरे को बाँहों में समेटे हुए, हमारी त्वचा एक हो रही थी, हमारी साँसें एक लय में चल रही थीं। मुझे ऐसा महसूस हुआ मानो यह खामोशी इस पल को हमेशा के लिए थाम ले, पर शायद वह भी कम ही पड़ता।

I closed my eyes and he kissed my eyelids, barely brushing them with his lips. I felt safe, at home. I felt as if here, against his body, was the only place in which I belonged. The only place I had ever wanted to be. We lay in silence for a while, holding each other, our skin merging, our breathing synchronized. I felt as if silence might allow the moment to last for ever, which would still not be enough.

उसके साथ हर बात एक इम्तहान की तरह होती है, जहाँ प्यार को भी तौला जाता है—जो दिया गया उसकी तुलना जो मिला उससे की जाती है, और ज़्यादातर मामलों में उसका यह हिसाब उसे निराश ही करता है।

With him everything is a test, affection is measured, that given weighed against that which has been received, and the balance, more often than not, disappointing him.

मैं सोच भी नहीं सकती कि जब मुझे यह अहसास होगा कि मेरी जिंदगी पीछे छूट चुकी है, वह बीत चुकी है, और दिखाने के लिए मेरे पास कुछ भी नहीं है, तब मैं इस बात को कैसे सहन करूँगी। न तो यादों का कोई खज़ाना, न अनुभवों की कोई दौलत, और न ही आगे बढ़ाने के लिए संजोई हुई कोई समझदारी। अगर हम अपनी यादों का जोड़ नहीं हैं, तो फिर हम हैं क्या?
