I will be honest in this post of mine ; apart from expressing my views and thoughts about certain aspects of life I had started this blog to fulfill a dream which looks faded and vague for the time being . A dream of becoming a writer , to write my thoughts in a direct manner like this blog or in a fictitious one like novels or short stories. I now imagine myself co-writing a book with an author as famous as Durjoy Dutta for now ; to write a novel like my idols Amish Tripathi and Ashwin Sanghi a.k.a. Shawn Hagins is a distant dream for now, not that I am thinking low of myself because i want to accomplish these dreams of mine too, but for now i want to take these baby steps and all i need is your feedback, love and support.
Your role is important for any other novel of any novelist for that matter to work. I as a reader believe that if read between the lines we can know what the writer is trying to tell us , what are his/her feelings, in other words we connect with the author; the story may have many loop-holes or myths which seem too amusing to be believed but if we widen our gaze we can gain enough knowledge to enlighten ourselves all we need is a perspective to read novels . If we do this a novel based on fiction will also a whole new level of importance.
My first instance of enlightenment was when I read the Mahabharat , my most favorite story till date . There is no evidence of this story being based on real events , no evidence that the characters of that story ever existed . If read with a very rational mind the story seems very ridiculous, unreasonable and not convincing enough just because we were conditioned since childhood that the story is true and when we grew up we saw it in a rational manner and criticized it . When i read it I learned something , a lesson that i never will forget and i don't even wish to forget it " Atrocities done to a woman will lead to your very own destruction in the end; a woman might have said or done something wrong to you but your act of attacking her modesty and chastity will not justify the reason of your act . We humans are in the intermediate position between gods and demons. We have the vices such as Lust , greed , jealousy, insecurity, and many more such vices ,well i admit that i do have them in me but if we strengthen our minds enough that we can suppress these vices to an extent that they don't seem visible to the world around us we can win the world's love and respect and if we dont control them and let them bring the worst of us then we are as good as the ruins of the world's bloodiest war." that's what i have learnt .But it saddens me that giving the reference of this story the society has went on to suppress women , thought of them to be a reason of war , a cause of conflict between brothers . This is the interpretation of just one story , do we know how many such novels were misinterpreted by us everyday ??
Its time we introspect our minds and change our approach towards them . This will in turn help us understand the human nature in a subtle manner , if not the human nature we can understand our nature , we can rediscover ourselves our joy would know no bounds once we did this . If we do this even we can start inking our thoughts and let the world know what do we think and share our thoughts and views. Everyone and anyone can become a writer .
I always thought of myself as an introvert and a person who is shy who keeps his thoughts and desires to himself , but if this is the truth why am i writing it for the whole world to read ??? and after i ask this question to myself i realize that i can open up in front of the wold and share my thoughts without any pre-conceived notions and fear and have a clear mind rather than a prejudiced one. This assumptions of writers being introvert is a false assumption because through their writings they are just trying to talk to you , their approach however is different than usual ones so all we need to do is respond and as said we can't a friend as loyal as a book .
