Charu Nivedita - Interview : by Sujith Balakrishnan

Image
Interview with the acclaimed writer Charu Nivedita by Sujith Balakrishnan Transgressive writing must be taboo in contemporary India. Is it due to its obscenity, its nakedness or its wildness? It should be nothing of the reasons but the utter hypocritical mindset developed from the frustration of a failed spring revolution in India. When openness, plurality, have been replaced by the superficial happiness achieved by materialistic wealth and fame, transgressiveness can’t prosper in such a society, they suppress and attack the person who tried to open up the nakedness of the body, the nakedness of sexual pleasures, the nakedness of utter truth, the nakedness of society. A society that wants to hide all the guilty pleasures but to enjoy in its full extend clandestinely and consider it as morally correct but morally sick as in the true sense.

The Smaller things in Life

The Smaller things in Life Subtle shifts in our perception of life can make a drastic transformation to the morale of each individual. Often we get dejected going around bigger things and complicated kinds of stuff, which has a chance of achievement as if winning a lottery. The depressed mind tides until we get drained off and have lost all the charms of life with a constant fear of death coming nearby. It is what we have lived? Such a question can come up only at the horizon of old age when we have little time to recuperate the things past and lost.      I reached my forties, and the one thing that still bothers me while in conversation with an opposite-gender is eye-to-eye contacting. Thinking of it is a minute element in life and why I need to worry at this moment of life. As I recently developed the habit of observing smaller things in life, such things count very much. So I started making myself conscious at every moment I have to intermingle with the opp...
