We are friends, my son and myself.<br />One has to have tremendous perseverance to write a good novel, shut out all distractions and go into the agony and ecstacy of it all alone. It is a very lonely affair.<br />That I look for reassurance from friends at the beginnning itself exposes my fears--do I have the strength of character to do it? And there are distractions aplenty. Journalism is not a 10 to 5 job. You carry the load in your brain all the time...Let us see.P.

I had gone in search...being able to get no clue at all, I came close to cracking then...Then I pulled down the shutters and returned to my life. But the thing keeps haunting me...My plan here is to mix this experience with questions about Existence itself, why conflicts where it should be Sachithananda, calm bliss all the way. If you look at it closely, all conflicts come from ego, the illusion of being separate. I have a very vast canvass in my mind. I can already see its overall structure too. The challenge is to execute it.P.
