For the longest time, I've been meaning to write a story about a girl growing up in india. I want her story to reflect the hypocrisies and idiosyncrasies of society. I want it to be a biting commentary, without being preachy. I want it to achieve this by humour irony contrast and sarcasm, i want it to make men and women feel ashamed about what they are. I want it to shame them into becoming better people, or dying out of sheer self disgust. i want to do this anonymously.
I have never written a story before and have never been considered a writer or any great merit. At the end of every book I wonder if the author lived the story, or knew the plot before starting to write it, let it take its own course. I can imagine that writing for such long periods of time can be a journey of self discovery. Indeed, this must be one of the reasons that people write.
