Book 5 of 3018: Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra “ ‘Nothing else about the great Ganesh Gaitonde? What he was like?’ ‘Great?’ She [Zoya Mirza] shrugged. ‘He was a short man trying to act like some big hero,’ she said. So are we all, Sartaj thought, and may Vaheguru deliver us from the judgements of our girlfriends. “ — “ ‘You know,’ she [Zoya Mirza] said into my ear, ‘I dream sometimes of winning an Oscar. Of standing up there. But best of all, may be. I’ll get to meet Arnold [Schwarzenegger].’ Arnold. She said the bastard’s name as if she already knew him, as if she had shared pani-puri with him at Chowpatty. “ — “I would stay right here, close to the field of battle, in if, and I would stop Guru-ji. He was confident that I couldn’t stop him -‘You can’t stop it’ - but I was Ganesh Gaitonde. He could see forwards and backwards in time, but I had escaped fate many times. I had beaten what was written, I had changed it. I had survived. Now I would survive again.” #bookchallenge2018 #5down #bookstagram #thattookaboutamonth #VikramChandra #SacredGames #Netflix #itsnothinglikethebook https://www.instagram.com/p/BoWUIE6l_HO9jiMcuX1VCmZ4TE2fESm3jN_hMc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1koga9o9fkgmb
