This is for all the amazing story-tellers who once did or now wander the globe.
Recently I finished reading the last book of Harry Potter series by one such tremendous story teller ‘J.K.Rowling’.
I almost love or hate her characters as if they were real and at the same time I admire as well as dread the author who gave birth to them. All those characters are coming out of her mind and I know whom to love and who to despise but if all of them, the angelic and saintly as well as the devilish and ghostly characters lived within the author once, how, would I know what to feel about the author herself!!
Love, hate, respect or just be in an awe of the world of magic she created on paper; a fiction which seems as real as anything that I have seen with my eyes. (Although I must say some of the credit also goes to the people behind the Potter movies!)
I am an ordinary person who knows how to love/hate, how to be generous/mean, how to be friendly/arrogant; I only understand my own grief/happiness, dream/procrastination, hope/disillusionment…and all of them are a part of the (dis-) proportionate mixture that makes me an individual. I see things and people only as they are and, I am not at all good at even understanding them as much as I understand myself. I know the world around me to some extent but creating a new world out of my imagination; a hypothetical world described to the minutest of details…
People who do this…I wonder if they too lead an ordinary life, I wonder if they were also like me…EVER! Nevertheless, how much ever I wonder about their lives, I dread knowing the truth…I am fine as long as I can just enjoy the fruits of their skill.
I am still in process of unraveling the mystery of Life and the Force called God…but yes, I have often thought that God is perhaps…Virtue/Goodness/Power personified. So it’s only next to god that I admire people who are ‘Genius’; a Skill-Personified!
