What is a writer? Who is a writer?
Someone who doesn’t take sides -
Who is neither with the hero,
nor against the villain,
Who knows the part each character plays,
who creates life in the written word…
A writer is the God of his world,
whose opinion is equally conveyed
by the positive and negative…
Being a God
he thinks of the hero and the villain,
and cares for both of them,
He knows the Dusshasana and Krishna
characters of his inside out,
and himself is neither…
Nor is he just a reporter,
but someone who knows life
enough to be confident
of the truth of what
he is conveying…
