Quotes by Vaseem Khan (?)

“The only way to avoid falling prey to the perils of confusion is to never be confused about what you are. If you are an honest man, as I hope you will prove to be, never allow the circumstances of a moment to make you act against your nature. That way lies the ruin of everything you stand for.”
― Vaseem Khan, The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra

“You do well, my son, to cry like a woman, for what you could not defend as a man.” ”
― Vaseem Khan, Midnight at Malabar House

“In his younger days, he had believed in the concept of certainty. It had been a chastening experience to feel the sand being sucked from under the shoes of that belief. The human condition was truly inscrutable, he now knew, the sewage wallowing at the bottom of a man's soul dark and turgid.”
― Vaseem Khan, Murder at the Grand Raj Palace
