The times we are living in are unprecedented not because they truly are but because the hyperreality is collapsing and people are beginning to notice the patterns of their lives. I in the past decade ended up realising that family history matters shit in the setting we live in. The tragic thing is that whatever rules us doesn’t even declare the slavery that people live in while practicing impunity on lives of people and packaging it as fate or will of God. In the past decade when I came across incest being used as a political tool in Purvanchal it kind of became funny because the Purvanchal I knew from childhood was not like that, it was sacred. While living in West UP I had heard of cousins and even brothers molesting their sisters but ultimately I ended up realising that it is centralised impunity in this country and this shit is so unbelievable that anyone who speaks on this seems insane. The shock came when I realised that Purvanchal deep state uses the age old feudal village rapist setup, where rapists would rape the mothers and sisters of dalits for drawing water from the well or entering the temple, so basically this is what the deep state of Purvanchal consists of and it is funny because Varanasi, the spiritual capital where every second asshole you talk to would spout mythology, is in this region and this shithole connects to greater nation as well. The baffling thing that I realised about Purvanchal is that not only the assholes who really rule this region and the lower class criminals employed by them feel entitled to rape the people of the region these motherfuckers are actually inferior and suck up to assholes from outside of the region and basically pimp the people of the region they control to others. Imagine the plight of someone who has been made to commit incest and this is a method to show dominance in the region, naturally God is nowhere in the picture here and probably has left it forever. This shit is serious but it can’t be proven but if you take an anonymous survey of women of this country the base rapey reality of this country would ultimately surface. I used to be proud of my culture and even the philosophy of my religion but one has to understand that when the keepers of culture and religion are rapists and base reality is itself rape there is nothing to be proud of. This is a Soviet method of creating and collecting dirt on people which seems obvious with India’s closeness with the Soviets post-independence, a knowledge that got transferred to local feudal lords who now control things from behind the scenes and probably have turned builders or owners of franchisees. The British knowledge of divide and rule extractive exploitation was already present. We live in a country where clothes every class should wear, and the tiles and curtains and home decor of every social class is decided and Instagram has made it abundantly clear. The rich get to save their memories on iPhone clicked pictures and the poor have their memories ruined forever by cheap Chinese phones and I remember the times when photography was on film, it was democratic and rich and poor had similar memories. The collapse of this country has already happened, the civilization that I loved so much is already dead. When village rapists decide the fates of people way more capable and talented than them, the civilization is over. What remains is an access controlled machine of employed rapists and criminals run by incompetent assholes who have already sold the nation they belonged to.

I had read the Baum Plan for Financial Independence by John Kessel during college and was greatly impressed. I ended up searching about John Kessel and came to know he had studied both physics and literature as subjects in his graduation and it impressed me because even my orientation was like that, I had read Chekhov quite early in my youth and a bit of it in my childhood and when I got into medicine I went by his quote “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress.” My love for noir had begun early on and I love hardboiled writing and in my early youth I had read Kafka’s short stories extensively which I only later ended up realising why I gravitated towards. Kafka had an “overbearing” father and he had existential anguish and wrote about being trapped in punishing bureaucratic systems which might be the result of political realities of his times. I, on the other hand, did not have any paternal issues like him but as it later turned out the scenario of punishing bureaucratic reality was accurate in my case only thing is that in my case it was an illness which when one knows enough medicine they know that it is essentially neuropolitical torture. It is only later I ended up realising that hate crimes and whimsical torture of bodies, minds and souls are done in this country at an invisible plane. I later started reading Lovecraft and I find a strange comfort in Lovecraftian cosmic horror which I would suppose anyone who has been tortured for more than twenty two years of his life would. Cosmic entities indifferent to humanity give a scale to human cruelty which to anyone under its throes might seem infinite. I later got introduced to Philip K. Dick and William Gibson but I would think that the chief influences on me would be Chekhov, Conan Doyle, whom I read while I was in college, Kafka and Lovecraft. I like noir mainly because I have known pain intimately and I like the idea of man taking a stand amidst corruption. I’m not really a cynic but I like the cynicism of a hardboiled detective because it is honesty and crushed idealism finding its vent. Noir is as true as it can be and can be said as the actual background reality of the world which turns those who see it cynical. I dabbled with transgressive fiction too because I know and have always known that the actual reality of India behind the Barjatya movie reality is unbearably transgressive and so I make it a point to keep a very small token element of transgressive in my writings. I would love for the world to be full of joy and colour but I know that the joy and colour in the world comes from the black and white of the lives of a lot of people and in many cases people who had joy and colour in their lives get them snatched and destroyed by those who can not tolerate joy and colour in anyone’s lives except them and growing up is understanding that.

My disillusionment with this country came in stages and it’s kind of funny because I personally didn’t have very big dreams. My dreams were concrete, treating patients which I still do, doing research something for which I was studying medical physiology and writing. The concept of a physician-writer had solidified in my mind after reading Chekhov and I wanted to do that, which, quite funnily, I am doing at present just not in a way I would’ve wanted to. To know real India one has to know that at a deep level it is a combination of cold war Russia style constant surveillance and dirt collection and British style divide and rule and exploitation with a superstructure of religion and culture which mostly fail the common man because the very base is a combination of cold war Russia and British. With the religious and cultural superstructure there is exploitation done by the feudal-corporate-mafia axis. The actual God in this country which I ended up realising in the past decade is a criminal syndicate not only exploiting people but also socially engineering the society and doing eugenics experiments on people. So, the bottom line is that the lives of people even in the most backward region of a third world country is not organic and authentic. My personal issue stems from a simple reason, I had chosen my place in society and a very humble one at that and I by my very nature don’t meddle in other people’s business and yet my life was not only invaded but also engineered and for no reason at all, at least nothing that I could find. My sole goals were healing people, teaching medical physiology to kids (at that time) and writing entertaining pulp-literary stuff. If the political environment of this country hadn’t changed I wouldn’t have come to know that this shit is systemic and has been with me since long before the change of the political environment. I personally don’t think BJP is behind all this, BJP is just a scavenger and parasite of the current political spectacle that is going on and filling its coffers while it still can. The institutions and structures belong to Congress, if we think politically but the truth is this nation seems to be a victim of elite capture which again would be the feudal-corporate-mafia axis. Every person who lives in this nation knows how common cronyism and nepotism are, it’s common and not one common person complains about that. The problem however arises when people who just want to do their jobs are disturbed needlessly and their lives are manipulated by assholes who are not even capable of understanding the complexity of human life.

The irony with me is that I genuinely think that writing, not reading, is redundant and yet I write. I write because I still have things to say, not in a personal sense but in a social sense and what I have to say is urgent given the political reality that we live in. A lot of my writing records the times we live in and what is happening in the present in this country is totalitarianism in its classical sense but it’s not visible because it’s a level deeper than historical totalitarianism and yet more insidious. From what I have witnessed in the past decade I can say that as citizens we can’t be entitled to safety, yes it is promised just as justice is, but I have seen criminals operating where majority thinks God resides so the idea of safety as well as justice collapses and ultimately it all boils down to every person saving their own ass and jumping hoops of conspiratorial designs thrown at them. Life, as it turns out, is not as simple as earning money and having fun at home. People choose the topics they want to write about it and I write on the hidden political reality as much conspiratorial it might sound it ultimately goes into the mind of the ones who read it and thus when hit with conspiracies they will be able to identify what is actually happening with them and that’s all my purpose is. My issue isn’t even that deep politics of this country is totalitarian and invasive and directly tied to victim blaming as karma, fate or false accusations of sins - a simple example of how this mechanism of sin works is someone raping your mother and sister in front of you because you committed the sin of masturbation - and this not even a exaggeration from what I have witnessed however the actual issue that I have is that I ended up witnessing and realising that the very intent of this deep political structure is evil and this structure is composed of structures that are visible and which affect the way people live their lives, and one such structure is media and institutions of faith. In the past decade I ended up realising how divided this country actually is and the mechanisms to further divide it keep going on in the background. The actual reality behind all the so-called hyperreality is so simple and so primal that it would baffle the mind of anyone who sees it especially when as human beings our life isn’t supposed to be simple, we are complex beings capable of spirituality. As it is visible on social media of India, the hyperreality built all through the 90s is collapsing at fast pace and soon people will be able to see this country for what it actually is, an exploitation chamber run by criminals who are not even intelligent, the tragedy is with all the civilizational material, scriptures, philosophy and knowledge we had, we could have been more.

One Step Eternity
The true nature of world is revealed only when one realises that freedom to imagine is a privilege. When the bottom line hits people choose what is important to them and I ended up choosing aesthetics. World as it turns out is nothing but a web of cause and effect and it’s a shame because it had the potential to be a lot more. I have, in particular, paid for things I haven’t even used or taken and in simple terms it is called exploitation, and this exploitation happens from where people think God resides. I think for me, it is now safe to say that there is nothing called God that exists in traditional sense, in a personal, metaphysical sense yes, in a traditional sense, no. Life for me for the most part has been like a war that I had not started and wanted to be a part of. Though from what I have experienced in the past decade I ended up realising that there are actually no limits to human sadism and depravity, whatever you can imagine is small. Here is an example of a personality profile, an individual who commits rape and murder with impunity, enjoys inflicting infinite torture on the souls, bodies and minds of people and would not even hesitate to send someone totally innocent to eternity in hell and suffering both in terms of time and extent just for a silly and whimsical reason, or a reason that is not even present in the victim but in the individual who is projecting it on the victim, and here is the kicker, these kind of individuals believe that they are the good side and this believe is as unshakeable as the permanence in the upper hand in the power dynamic. An example of it would be inflicting infinite suffering on the body, mind and soul of someone for not liking their face when there is nothing objectively wrong about the face of the victim and only thing that is wrong is subjective and baseless delusions in the minds of the perpetrators which they then project on the victim. These kind of individuals, are politically criminals and spiritually demons and unfortunately they run the show of the lives of majority of the people. All politics then can be simplified into assertion of superiority and establishment of dominance. The example I used is an example of political optimization, absolute belief in one’s goodness and absolute and infinite depravity and sadism as personality trait and by absolute I mean absolute in absolutely optimized sense, we are talking about the bottom of the abyss, the absolute damnation of humanity. After one sees this, life stops to make sense and only thing that makes one to continue living is love for family and it is from here my philosophy of focusing only on family, financial security, nature, universe and interests and hobbies comes. This is the absolute bottom line. When you touch the bottom line there is no hometown, home region, state or country because they have already betrayed you, even the ones who are still delusional about their existence. There is just you, loved ones, and survival and a little beauty if you can salvage it and then there is power, a capricious, whimsical, depraved and sadistic power that poses as providence and seems like it only till you haven’t peeled the superficial layers.
