On Writing on

Special thanks to DR.ARIN BASU
and sincere acknowledgement of his good self continuing to inspire me over the last 3 years,
make me see common sense while reading any type of literature,
teach me, in a way, to delete/get rid off useless grandstanding, floral ornamentation during writing (I am still guilty of that but am trying my best), and inciting my interest in a number of varied aspects of Literature when I was absolutely ignorant of the fact that they exist..

My dear friend Dr. Arin Basu recently quoated Oakes, in a really stimulating discussion which received comments from every friend of mine, those who have taught me a reason to weigh and balance aspects of day-to-day survival and subjects of cerebration which have been instrumental in continuing the process of Darwinian evolution.
Joyce Oates wrote, " To write is to invade another's space, if only to memorialize it..."

Art by nature is transgressive act- I couldn't have agreed more with Oakes. And the time I came across the observation. I thank you Arin for this. Yes. And the more you write, the more conscious you become, I mean the more habituated you become with the act of writing. I'm restricting it to the Art of writing.

I guess I wrote somewhere very recently, while musing over why I feel "the urge", and not merely an act to draw attention, to become "famed" - to be "important" in people & bask in pride. It gives me Security.
I also feel that Art is meant to transgress. That is why a work of art is created. I must admit that slowly over the days and weeks, at a time when my emotions are being thrashed inside out, I can gradually see a truth of life becoming clearer, its boundaries are becoming more and more defined. There is a reason why "the urge" is given shape in reality.

Subconsciously I "willingly transgress several other peoples' thinking space without having the guilt feeling that I invaded the spaces". For me, it's become a tool to feel that I'm not isolated from the dynamics that make life move ahead. Ideas shot into "the domain of mass subconscious", with a hope that people shall let them go inside and perhaps ponder over them. Not whose ideas they are (the writer is not important), but these ideas are - relevant or insignificant or trash.

My real life isolation is one of the strongest factors. And over time, the more I write, I "realize" that all writers are isolated while writing down thoughts. In real time space I am isolated 24x 7. One maybe so for 6 hrs. One might isolate himself in volition too. It all depends on the nature of the original "urge", and its relevance in the background of one's immediate circumstances. Here I must, borrowing from oft-spoken literary observations, state that one's immediate circumstances is what one makes out of it.
... Now was that Greek or Hebrew?
