Write Concepts #10

 There was a time stories used to matter to me. They kind of still matter, but realization of the setup of the world have made them kind of redundant. I like reading comic books and watching superhero movies, I like following American professional wrestling and I like nature, wildlife and science documentaries. I do that because in my opinion these are the only authentic sources of entertainment left. I wanted to write novels, and that I would probably still do but not commercially and only as a personal project. I look back at my life and realise that I wanted to be a comic book writer. It is a profession frowned upon in the sociocultural setting of India but it is an authentic job, and since I know the truth of this country, I would say more authentic than the military. I have quite a few personal writing projects in pipeline and hopefully, if my ability allows, I would be able to finish them and post them on internet platforms for those who like to read. There are very few authentic blogs and websites left and one of them is The Marginalian by Maria Popova, you can give it a try. I like escaping into literature, but authentic literature is scarce. The 90s and late 2000s and early 2010s were a good time for Indian comic books but that time has ended, though one can always turn to American comic books. I have seen the time of authentic Indian literature and in a personal capacity I would try to keep that tradition alive. This is why I have blogs and this is why I write. A writer, like all human beings adapts, and I think that’s what I have done as a human being, I have adapted as I realized the truth of this country and the world. There are a lot of vibes and truths that I would like to explore and it would take some time before I get the hang of the exact things that I want to explore. The totalitarianism is hilarious but the issue is that it can be customized and it is not necessary that everybody feels it, but the evidences are everywhere and the intelligent mind can derive its inferences after seeing what is going on in the society and the world. My current goal is writing at least one piece of writing daily and at the moment I’m compiling and arranging all that I have written at their respective locations and once I do that, I would be free to write new things.
