'The Fiction Web'

“THE FICTION WEB”

None of us have missed the chance of entering an old store in our house, a sure site is the spider web at all corners of the small ceiling. It is attached perhaps so slightly to the 4 corners, yet suspended. Probably that’s how I will define FICTION. Though ‘ONE with corners of reality’ yet suspended…in touch with only the senses of reality but away from the architecture or the people that  reality inhabits …it’s indeed a free surge of the mind's eye.

If I try defining fiction, I ask myself –is it an escape from catastrophe that we see around…or is it a fresh food of thought to the mind…or a window to another world when the door of our life is tarnished with monotony.

If I factually put it in your plate ,I would say –it is a colossal of alternative timelines ,or an aisle of fictitious characters..where  just the  “what if” is erased from the beginning of the contour …and everything is given a form acceptable to the perceivable portion of the brain…its nothing more than befooling the mind willingly ..

Let’s just skip the “WHY FICTION” for some time...WHYs are dreary, WHATs are fascinating. What has always engrossed me is the KIDDISH FICTION- Dragon ball z has been one of my personal favorites. it’s like you know it’s not true but you clinch your fist when the fictitious character faces a jeopardy, u smile along as he somehow manages a secret  ‘get-through’ by churning  the  mountain, he walks over the deep river as if they were shallow enough for survival,  he applies brain, power and wit at exactly the right split second. And hold on, you are so influenced that scribbling a requiem for the HERO won’t take you long because you are so into him…That’s exactly where the whole amusement lies concealed… here Fiction is delight. And hat’s off to the creators of such delight. It requires unchaining yourself from the shackles of existent picture and think of an ‘off the track’ bizarre setting.

As I climb up another step on this ladder and unbolt the door to the domain of “SCI FI”I see it as a multi dimensional form of fiction which has reason to every ‘why’ that strikes the reader while going through it…it is probably a fiction of sequential logical where an idea is worked upon very sharply by the creator to immeasurable depths. INCEPTION stands out as a glorious paradigm .Although we generally believe that fiction is a \ free surge of thought and truth is sans-climax, sans-surprises but you know what is eccentric … science fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities, it is hard to step out of the realm you have created in your setting...truth isn’t like that...what reality offers is sometimes extraordinary ‘than’ the limited context of possibilities fiction has to offer. But I guess the problem is ,not often but rarely the truth is surprising, so we created fiction with lots of valley and peak points to fill in the voids of climax that our mind yearns for.

Fiction isn’t always a new world or, to say, a new wholesome of characters…perhaps it’s sometimes just a suiting modification to the realistic life, sometimes presented as serendipity and sometimes as an elixir  pumped into the monotonous life, sometimes a story of love unexpressed, bottled into a corner of heart make its way- through as fiction ,sometimes the lifelong regrets...which when penned…flare into desires…or sometimes just a concrete of “life u aspired” flares up fictitiously as the “life u lived” … penning all that down, at times, is oddly comforting. The arena of fiction is just one of the clues to the extent of human psyche…fiction is a constructive tool that helps us create the unfeasible.

As I arrive to the closing stages of this piece, I wish, I could  just wink at THEE…and let this be a ‘GET SET GO’ to my world of fiction  …wish I could endlessly switch at will…but something tells me, if fiction is strange, “truth is stranger”….who knows when the ‘wink trick’ actually  starts to work out..!!, until then, I  have my fingers crossed…J
