why i write?

Simple. Because I have to. No seriously, i write because I have to.

I remember somebody said- "I wonder how people who don't write, paint, sing, dance, ride or play can remain sane?" Don't know about you, but it holds true for me. Because, the world is full of hopes, colours, happiness, miseries, frustration, atrocities, uncertainties, celebrations, lies and lot more...and these things have an impact on me. I'm sure they have impact on each one of us. But some people are too busy to think about these deeply and some have strong immunity not to be affected by them.

I am influenced, perturbed, inspired and pampered. Now what do I do to express how I feel when i'm influenced, perturbed, inspired or pampared... or rather to make myself sane? Writing, of course.

Because, for a guy like me, who has read a bit of Bacons, a bit of Shakespeare, a bit Wolf, Eliot, Coelho, Bhagat, and a lot of regional literature (Assamese, i mean), and has seen life through my eyes in my short stint in this world, writing happens naturally. I believe it's the best way to unwind. Because when I'm writing I feel like talking. Talking to you and talking to myself. Aren't you listening? Hello...
