Dear Jeyamohan,
I am always curious about your plans and the meticulousness with which you are executing them. Generally, writers are not like that; they are dreamers and losers. They can’t do anything for a long time without a doubt, and they are lazy too. I want to know your never-fading energy.

Dear Krishnakant
The generalization you are making about writers is not entirely accurate. There were writers like Tagore, Sivarama Karanth, Vallathol Narayana Menon, and MT. Vasudevan Nair, who were outstanding institution builders. Great writers throughout the world create the greatest cultural and educational institutions.
There are two types of writers: the first ctagory belongs to dreamers and executers, who are considered premium writers due to their rarity and unique style. They redefine history and culture. The rest are secondary writers; they write about their own lives and their simple subjective truths. Many of them are unsuccessful individuals, unable to effectively manage their lives and creativity.
Particularly after the world wars, many European writers developed a depressive outlook on life, which became the hallmark of modernism’s spirit. So others imitated it and purposefully labeled themselves as drifters and losers.
We can observe something throughout history; generally, the core of literature and philosophy is hope for humanity, and that is the basic idea of idealism. Idealism makes men creative and active. It gives enormous energy. I believe my energy comes from my teachers, who were outstanding visionaries and humanists.
Particularly Guru Nitya Chaidhanya Yati—he was a Vedantic. Basically, Vedanta is a philosophy of consistent hope and positive attitude. Because it envisions an absolute in this relative universe, it says ‘me that’ (Thathvamasi).
