More From Mohsin Hamid

I do believe i begin to grasp the nature of miracles! for would it be a miracle, if there was any reason for it? miracles have nothing to do with reason. miracles contradict reason, they strike clean across mere human deserts, and deliver and save where they will. if they made sense, they would not be miracles.
Believe Miracle Desert
The epithet beautiful is used by surgeons to describe operations which their patients describe as ghastly, by physicists to describe methods of measurement which leave sentimentalists cold, by lawyers to describe cases which ruin all the parties to them, and by lovers to describe the objects of their infatuation, however unattractive they may appear to the unaffected spectators.
Beauty Beautiful Party
Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. if you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. when we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.
Laughter Struggle Flower
Predictions are uttered by prophets (free of charge); by clairvoyants (who usually charge a fee, and are therefore more honored in their day than prophets); and by futurologists (salaried). prediction is the business of prophets, clairvoyants, and futurologists. it is not the business of novelists. a novelist's business is lying.
Lying Novelists Prophet
Indeed, the sort of crimes and even the amount of delinquency that fill the prophets of israel with dismay do not go beyond that which we regard as normal, as typical ingredients of social dynamics. to us a single act of injustice--cheating in business, exploitation of the poor--is slight; to the prophets, a disaster. to us injustice is injurious to the welfare of the people; to the prophets it is a deathblow to existence: to us, an episode; to them, a catastrophe, a threat to the world.
Cheating Israel People
Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do. he who does not understand irony and has no ear for its whispering lacks of what might called the absolute beginning of the personal life. he lacks what at moments is indispensable for the personal life, lacks both the regeneration and rejuvenation, the cleaning baptism of irony that redeems the soul from having its life in finitude though living boldly and energetically in finitude.
