Imperial March
My writing journey started in late 2000s and I started writing blogs and short stories by early 2000s. I had a worldview back then, like trust in the government, in the United Nations in scientific research and publications which as life unfolded ended up getting eroded. I realised that the government is just an arm of the rich, United Nations is useless and a lot of scientific research is hogwash except the researches funded by private players. Back in the day, in early 2010s, I wanted to be physician-writer, majorly a fiction writer but I also wrote blogs and had interest in writing comics and had a plan for an adventure novel. I am a physician and I write so I am kind of a physician-writer but tags don't matter to me. I wanted to write something useful, warm and truthful and so I try to do that. The world is too vast to make sense of it but we can make sense of the common threads running in the world, find out the essence of things and make sense of the bottom line. I have genres that I gravitate towards, like noir, a little bit of transgressive fiction, science fiction and cosmic horror. Though, depending on the genre, I mostly seek to imbibe warmth and truth in my stories. When one is writing there are doubts, like whether one is doing the right thing. Like when I wanted to write a space opera I felt if I was doing the write thing and frankly there is no solution to this problem like while writing a cyberpunk story in India one realises that no one else has written a cyberpunk stories, or if any very few, and one feels as if they are breaking some rule but the truth is that what the heart wants to write it wants to write. The comics industry of this country has collapsed for the most part and I frankly do not know if it is ever going to recover. The novels for the most part are boring. So a reader has to naturally look outside the country for good reads, again access to which is gatekept. Due to my cognitive and time limitations, I decided to indulge in flash fiction instead of short stories or novels and I also write blogs, quite a bit on deep politics of the country, and a bit of prose poetry. A writer writes for readers which again are hard to come by in the present politico-socioeconomic situation of this country though it’s good that I mainly write as a hobby and for personal creative pleasure. Since the early 2010s I switched many blogs and tried various things but ultimately I settled down after finding a stable vibe that suits my taste and now write on a bunch of blogs and in a bunch of genres. I see foreign writers especially the American ones who still publish, though then I look at places like the middle east where writers are rare and if they aren’t they aren’t popular enough to reach me. India for that matter is America from outside and the middle-east from inside the dictatorship and totalitarianism is embodied and so it’s hard thinking out of the box, like writing a space opera of an Indian setting.
