I chose writing out of a myriad of choices and hobbies. It does not mean that I lost interest in the rest of other facultie of learning. No, not at all. I love watching TV, playing, discussing, travelling, debating political issues and all the rest of things that engage us in the ordinary course of life, for I am an integral member of a society that defines my identity, that confines my behaviour and that refines my ideals. I can not escape from it nor can I evade its values at all.
Yet I have a different personality that entirely keep to myself as a writer. To be a good writer i have to qualify mself, in fact I have to educate myself adequately. or else what could I communicate to others.
I need a powerful language. and that is why I chose English despite that I could be more expressive and better at my mother tongue.For thru English I could have a larger audience. This is an innate desire, and it is central to everyone, not just everyone, to every creature under the sun that they like to express the feelings they undergo.
In fact no one can be better at expressing their feelings or what they want to put across people than writers. It is writers that have shaped the world. Every revolution was stirred up by writers, The Renaissance- the forerunners of them were writers, the French revolution- the kindlers of it were Rossoue and votaire. So were Marx, Engels and Simund Freud whose writings have immensely shaped the world and manufacutred all our thoghts and opinions.
The luxury of writing and the nobility of it is matchless and the amount of satisfaction and the sense of greatness can not be fiound with the same amount of intensity as in literature.
In Sanskrit, a very ancient language, the root of many Indo-European languages there is a word ' Sabda Brahma '. Om is a powerful expression and that links man with is his creator. I do not know elements of authenticity in saying that but that the Vsdas are really great pieces of literature and great resorviors of knwledge is unquestioable.
