As a writer in the Freedom Month

Notes from 2016



August 06-2020/ Blog #1


I am wondering 

as to when I’ve enjoyed 

writing the most.


At times, I feel good to introduce myself as a Writer.


Writer by itself doesn’t sound like a designation.


It is a title. A title not necessarily bestowed. But an earned title.


A title, which is so close to my heart and (maybe) to the hearts of those, who know me as a writer.


I do get asked:

Are you a writer?

What do you write about?

Why don’t you write love stories?

How about trying your hands at writing a movie script?

Have you considered writing a web series?

When will you experiment with something sensuous?

Do you write porn?

After that first book how long should we wait for your second book?

What does it take to become a writer?

Which writer inspires you the most?


I don’t deem it necessary to answer all of them.


I think I am content with the fact that I am a writer.


Some might also argue that they don’t get to see much of my writings. 

I’ve never disagreed. Maybe because I am not in a mood to make everything too apparent or visible to everybody.


So here I am, the so-called Writer.

Thinking about myself and writing a little part about myself by being myself.


As a writer in the Freedom Month, I am wondering as to when I’ve enjoyed writing the most.

Naturally I’ve enjoyed writing the most when I have felt free; free of prejudice, free of malice, free of botheration. 


But then someone will again argue - Writing comes from within; it doesn’t need a day, a date or a time for something to evolve. I would again not disagree.


As a writer in the Freedom Month, I would only wish that the freedom to write is never taken away from me.
