"He grabbed me and pushed me against the balcony of the apartment. The landlord inside him wasn't dead after all." p.182 

"(A time-honoured servants' tradition. Slapping the master when he's asleep." p. 184 

"But I tempt you with the joys of married life. It is good for the community. Every time there is a marriage there is more rain in the village. The water buffalo will get fatter." p.190 

The Fifth Night 

"Why did I feel that I had to go close to his feet, touch them and press them and make them feel good - Why? 

Because the desire to be a servant had been bred into me: hammered into my skull, nail after nail, and poured into my blood, the way sewage and industrial poison are poured into Mother Ganga" pg 193

Paan

A preparation combining betel leaf with areca nut.

Chewing smokeless tobacco, such as paan or gutkha, is popular with many people from south Asian communities, but all forms of tobacco can harm your health.

Research has shown that using smokeless tobacco raises the risk of mouth cancer and oesophageal (food pipe) cancer.

Studies have also found that betel itself can raise the risk of cancer, so chewing betel quid without tobacco is still harmful.
