YEAR OF THE RUNNAWAYS

The door closed and his mother returned, looking strangely drained
...
It seemed to randeep that none of the
woman enjoyed these encounters
...
It had taken nearly an hour to get him up off the floor
...
They all saw him crying 143
The silence seem to frighten Mrs Sanghera into temporary submission
...
‘So what
do we do? For the first time in the history are the women of this house to go and find work?
Shall I start offering my services to clean my neighbours latrines? She thrust out her arms
from under the pallu of her sari
...
Honestly I can
She turned fiercely to the lawyer
...
They;d forced his
father out of his job
...

147
‘Tell him I love him’
Hain?
147
His mother called him daily, on the new mobile she’d finally permitted him to buy
...
Mostly she just cried her
complaints
...
That he just gazed at the wall listening to his stupid
Shubert
...
What kind of a man was he?
‘w’ve not been to the mall for two weeks’
148
I don’t have any money you know, Michael said
...
I just want to talk
...
A husband high up in government
...

We CAN ALL WORK, Lakpreet SAID, RESTING A HAND OF Randeeps SHOULDER
...
When we are all in England
...
Three months and you’ll be leaving me
...
H wasn’t sure if she meant his loneliness or her own
...
Its important that a
man has a sense of a real home
...
To mourn a past you never had
...

AVTAR
218
It only makes you care for yourself
...
Ths life
...
A fight
...
There is no peace
...
Just fighting for the next
job
...
And it doesn’t matter how much stronger than everyone else you
are
...

You play the cards you’re delt
...
You get rid of the players/ Gupreet said
225
Well, shes divorced and thirty eight with a twelve year old boy, so obviously her choices are
limited
...


She was now four and her mother said she was old enough o start understanding the
importance of seva, of service
...
so few do that these days, when its more
important than ever
...
Since she had turned eighteen her father
had decided she was never to take an evening walk alone
...

265
Youre thinking
...
girls shouldn’t think
...
mine is to protect it
...
The rent on the bike is due
...
‘I don’t understand’
Narinder
276
‘She felt like a child
...
she felt that the world made her feel like a child
...

I think when Savi first borrowed money form you, she wasn’t lying
...

Kavi
280
What? Oh- he made a swatting motion with his hand – Shes just one of the chammaars
...
Id never treat one of our own girls like that
...

281
It would be the fifth family so far this year
...


YEAR OF THE RUNNAWAYS

She hoped this match would be suitable, if only for Baba’s sake
...

282
She wondered what it meant, living your own life, as if your life was a thing closed unto
itself
...

282
Most parents whose daughters had strayed lived with an aura of shame, and everyone gave
htem a wide berth, as if they really did stink of shit
...
She raised her head and puller back the chunni a few inches
...
283
Beautiful the boys mother said, like all boys mothers have to say
...

They did, said she, relived he had a sense of humour
...

To be honest, I just wanted to make sure you weren’t being forced or anything
...
well, you hear stories, don’t you?
284
And you’d be happy living in surrey?
I don’t see what the difference makes
...
Narinder slid the phone under her thigh
...

287
There’s nothing more you can do, beita
...

BABA TARSEM
I wont let you shame us
...
288
He had so many sweet qualities that surely it didn’t matter that she had no
...
That flare of
desire
...

292
But why did He let it happen? Is He teaching me a lesson?
Narinder, we’ve spoken about this
...
I promise you it will all make sense
in the end
...
Does it make sense that my mother died?
He looked away with clear difficulty
...

It was a frightening thought, that God might be pleased by their suffering
...
It was doing things that others wouldn’t do
...
And shed never done that
...
The one time she’d been
tested, the one time someone had asked her to take a risk, to make a sacrifice, she had
turned away
...
Im not going though ive decided
...

Avtar 300
Cant you promise me my job?
...
Perhaps it
was the distance
...
Well I don’t intend on waiting for the spider
...
She said I seemed to have forgotten that for the fly, once webbed, its already over
...
We promised our parents
...
Of
course ill still take you as my wife
...
‘thank you’

YEAR OF THE RUNNAWAYS
Near a church, she stopped and looked across the green depth of the country, at the vast
spirit of the giant hills
...
Someone help me
...

N
I’ll cook
...
It gets scary at night when he’s away
Our own people are the worst at bleeding us dry
Vidya 340
We can’t afford to become involved with other peoples problems
...
Avtar was looking at randeep, looking at
randeeps hand
...

Bhajo, Bhaji please!
Avrat looked away, the door slammed shut
...
It felt as if for the first
time in years some joy had entered her life
...
This is gods house!
We have to think of everyone who uses the gurdwara
...

But my father worked in government
...

You ae always welcome, but maybe it would be better if you were with people in the same
difficulties as you
...
I’ll kill her first
...

388
You can change lights now!
Its nor nard baba
I gues not, what else can you do?
