Notes From The Underground at The Top
I write what I want to read and I like to read authentic writing, and so I try to write as authentically as possible. I dabbled in transgressive fiction and I really wanted to incorporate transgressive elements in my writing and it kind of shows because I don't shy away from using transgressive elements when they are absolutely necessary. I believe that when the truth is not sanitary, writing shouldn't be too. My ultimate goal however is warm writing and while I might sprinkle some transgressive elements in it as required I want my writing to be majorly warm and authentic. I have written depressive stuff and I kind of like existential stuff by good authors but as I even though I might write it every now and then I don't want it to be my style as depression especially in the lower classes is a norm in this country now. It's increasingly difficult to find authentic writing today and that's why I rely on early 20th century European literature, and keep my writing as authentic as I can. For me writing is about warmth, truth and authenticity and it's one of the few things I truly enjoy doing and so I write. I realise the redundancy of writing after the complete realisation of the truth of this country and world but I think it is still kind of important to write, to document our times, and make people aware of truth so that they can't be exploited, as the rule goes, only good people get exploited. I kind of want to keep the comic book elements in my writing, a thing that I genuinely wanted to do. I'm not a political writer, I just write political stuff to document the truth of our times what I actually want to do with writing is to explore the universe, nature, consciousness, cultures and subcultures and build systems to prevent good people from exploitation and when I feel like it, despite its redundancy, write some fiction. Exploitation in India is inevitable because it's the very "providence" that exploits you, and so I would be working on designing and building systems that render it ineffective given you have the basics that is money, which again is tightly controlled and can be gatekept and made to bleed out by the very "providence". I enjoy writing, and for me its meaningful work especially when I look around and see propaganda by sold out assholes and bullshit written by the privileged forwarded by their circlejerk networks. I was a big fan of Jaipur Lit Fest but then I realised that it's a drama for the privileged by the privileged. Real writing grows in the margins and I want to grow it with style.
