Dear Jeyamohan,
I was recently talking with a friend about your various endeavours. He remarked that you are pampering your audience with a great deal of content—videos, shorts, and articles—and wondered whether it might eventually overwhelm or bore people, since many today seem to prefer content that is shorter, lighter, and more immediately entertaining.
I told him that you have already addressed this question in your talks and writings. Your work is aimed at a particular kind of reader or listener—someone who may be young or old, but who has at least an initial interest in literature, art, and philosophy. Your efforts are not intended to attract everyone, nor are your classes designed for a general audience. Rather, they are meant for those who are genuinely willing to engage with these subjects and explore them more deeply.
I appreciate your initiatives and the confidence with which you continue this work despite the changing trends of the time.
With regards,
Rajkumar Anand
Dear Raj,
Yes, I am always aiming at young people who possess a basic appreciation for literature, art, and philosophy. These classes are not meant for everyone. I know that such individuals are few in number.
I am trying to reach those who have already grown tired of the common tendencies that dominate social media and our everyday environment. My target is the person who feels dissatisfied with the mediocrity around him, who is irritated by the simplistic ideas that increasingly dominate our public discourse.
If such a person is looking for a way beyond these limitations, I am trying to show him one. He may be only one among thousands. Therefore, I must reach thousands in order to find that one person.
I am very clear about this.
Jeyamohan
