And An Equation Is The Same Whether It's Written In Red Or Green Ink

I Spent Many Years Of My Life As An Economist And Demographer. I Was Finally Distracted By Writing My Novels And Poetry. I'm Enormously Happy That Was The Case. I Feel That With Writing I Have Found My Metier.

All Over India, All Over The World, As The Sun Or The Shadow Of Darkness Moves From East To West, The Call To Prayer Moves With It, And People Kneel Down In A Wave To Pray To God. Five Waves Each Day - One For Each Namaaz - Ripple Across The Globe From Longitude To Longitude. The Component Elements Change Direction, Like Iron Filings Near A Magnet - Towards The House Of God In Mecca.

I Simply Seem To Drift. But I Sort Of Allow The Drift, Because It Has A Kind Of Check - It Forces Me To Work Harder At What I'm Interested In.

I Certainly Think Its Very Important That Writers As Citizens - Not Necessarily As Writers, But Just As Ordinary Citizens - Should Talk About Things That Matter To Them.
