As for me I see myself as a story teller. Contemporary Indian English writing has enormous vitality, energy and excitement. Finally, Indian's writing in English seem to have found a voice to call their own. Frankly I can't think of a single Indian English writer who has made a foreigner a role model. I like it's rough edges and it's raw quality.
Movies are about fantasy and escapism atleast in India.
We seem to appreciate a highly romanticised depiction of love. I enjoy the three hours I spend watching nonsensical courtships on the screen. There is something very innocent about our film makers' obsession with love. To me love is commitment. Without commitment there can be no real love.
