A few weeks ago, I was cleaning my room while rapping to Taylor Swift. Yes, rapping. End Game? Ready For It? Thug Story? Anyone?
Anyways, while I was singing big reputation, big reputation, I wondered how I, a 19-year-old Literature student in India could feel connected to and relate so strongly with Taylor Swift, a 30-year-old American singer/songwriter.

“What are the people like where we are going?” Orphie asked, taking her place beside her father, where she had the best view.
Otis looked back in surprise. “They are a little upside down, but they are no different from us. They want the same things.”
“What’s that, father?”
“A slow death, a full restraint and the pursuit of tireless misery.”
