I've been a reader of literature since my school days and forayed into serious literature during my undergraduate period. I've been watching cinema of all languages, cultures and time-periods since my school days too. From this background, I started writing about the books and movies I read in my own personal blog and facebook. Slowly, I started developing my own personal language of writing - recruiting subject matters from various disciplines and infusing my own subjective experience, my emotional and cognitive world, my perspectives and worldviews, all the while trying to establish an objective landscape that can be traversed through my empathy for everything living and non-living, here and beyond, real and imaginary, existing and non-existing. Through these pursuits, I aim to make clearer my understanding, make kinder my approach, make more grounded my existence and try to live with humility (if that is even possible).
