My Path

Hey all, sorry for being late to come back. I was immersed in loads of personal works so far since I last visited. My interest in things dates back to my years in high school, where I excelled in drawing pictures apart from my studies. When I was a senior, I took strenous steps to expand my worldly knowledge. Then it seemed only logical that I pursued knowledge in political science and philosophy as I was introduced to 'The Mother' of Maxim Gorky at 13. I read it three times in the later years. A very good reading ability was installed in me. In the years that followed my schooling I had the opportunity to study a number of subjects in the humanities and they have been both enjoyable and enlightening, providing me with a new and different perspective on the world in which we live. I much loved poems of Bharathi and Tagore. My curiosity was well pooled in the writings of those two great poets. Suddenly I slipped in to the relm of local literary groups which were operating in my home town. The foremost of them was the writers' forum promoted by Communist Party of India (Marxist). I was identified as an orator, thinker, activist in the writers forum and soon coordinated the works of the forum at town level. It was a great time in my life, cause I had developed a special interest in the field of political assessment and had even been taking up tasks of many petty political groups in the Kanyakumari district. My life at this lab of time was sufficiently impressed with my insight to ask about future. Of course, my plans following completion of my graduation were to move directly into post graduate work toward my master's. In between my curiosity towards understanding social life swallowed seven years. Some family reasons also catered to this delay before I took up a master’s at Pondicherry Central University at my 27! After I earned my master's degree, I intended to start work on my Ph.D. My personal family conditions prevented it. I was by now highly aware of the superb reputation of being a writer or orator, and my conversations with several of social / political work colleagues had served to deepen my interest in developing my social thoughts and work. I was especially interested in nineteenth-century literature, women's literature, and folklore and folk literature. In the other side, I had a high vigour for world history and current political analysis. I had also involved in stiff contradiction with some political activists and some of my professors who diluted in their lectures the essence of Indian Constitution, history and Marxist studies. I was known, for some time, as a radical due to my paradoxical approach in the university. My father expired in the mean time. Later I moved to work in the area of research and development for the voluntary sector!
