Why Books are Important for me?

 

■Why books are important to me?■

.

Let me put this straightforwardly. I've a problem dealing with pre-existing ideas about things and the world. To be honest I don't like abiding by the rules of reality that are being thrust upon me since childhood.

.

Take an example. People often ask me, What am I?

.

Writer, storyteller, poet, painter, singer, guitarist, graphics designer, photographer, sketch artist, VFX artist, video composer, video editor or a businessman?

.

Man, trust me, this confused me like a lunatic. I used to consider myself inauthentic. Later I realized, 'Priority' doesn't work when you have a multiple shit of talents to deal with. That'd be sheer injustice.

.

I do all of those things and I'm pretty good at everything (not sure about writing). Then what the hell am I? How do I define myself?

.

Then I came across Kafka and Sartre. My buddies who are dead long ago but what they wrote literally make sense.

.

Kafka said: "I don't wish to be easily defined."

.

I said to myself: "Bro, take a high five because you are hell of a cryptic entity trying to validate your existence through everything you are doing."

.

After completion of my creations, I feel alive...! Zinda !!

.

Then I say: "Agar tumne kuch create kiya hai toh samjho Zinda ho tum" (pun intended, Sorry Farhan Akhtar !)

.

So the bottom line is, Books unfold ideas that often work as a synthesis to the preexisting social thesis. Age old prejudices and age old rotten ideas stink like rotten potatoes so I seek new ideas that must smell of Musk. Ohh yeah I love it. I have a Musk attar that I apply on Fridays.

.

So the point is,

.

Why the heck do I've to fit myself into a defined set of parameters and constructs of the society? Why can't I be something that can't be defined? Ohh C'mon, humans, get over with definitions and all. Read books. Live undefined that's fun and adventurous.!

.

And now whenever someone asks me what am I then I just say:

.

"I'm Zakir Aatish Khan. And I don't wish to be easily defined. Not at all."

.

End of the story, cheers !
