Happy family. Perfect friends. Sparkling dewdrops. Scented lilies. Breeze on my face. Painted sky. Chocolate candy. Teeming bookshelf. Admired teachers. City lights. Midnight cycle rides. Universe in a sandgrain. Shooting nerve impulses. Palpitating heart. Wood and bricks and cement.
What’s lacking?

Ah, I can so relate to the question.Could this be the reason why we delight in reading and writing fiction? Do we expect to find in fictional worlds that which we lack in the real one?And, I love this line:“Universe in a sandgrain.” 🙂

Thanks for the Comments, Vasudha and Awais.@ VasudhaThat’s exactly what I was talking about.. our delight in fictional worlds.. But that leaves a lot other questions.. Do all writers have a void inside them, which they try to fill by conjuring fictional worlds? I sure do have (a) void(s) in me. And maybe I wouldn’t have been as expressive as this if I didn’t have it (them).And maybe it has got somethng to do with the answers we seek to life’s little questions.@ AwaisHmm.. Not a touch, but I have been endowed with madness quite generously.. My friends leave no opportunity unheeded to tell me this.

Yes, the voids. I have them, too. I know that they cannot be filled — so I try to lose myself in fictional worlds sometimes, just to divert my attention from the emptiness.Life’s numerous little questions bother me, as well. But they don’t inspire me to write as often as the voids do. 🙂

@ VasudhaTrue. Perhaps these voids contribute substantially to how we define ourselves, as writers, as human beings. Perhaps even more than those parts of us that are solid and complete..
