There are an umpteen number of times you would've felt after hearing a song that you are the one who's singing it. It would've occurred to you many a times after watching a movie that the story revolved around your own story. Or say, after reading a piece of literature you would've felt as if you were the one, who'd written it. And then arises, a deep rooted urge to know more about the writer who wrote the song, movie or the piece of literature in question.
One writes straight from his heart on what he experiences and observes. There is nothing like being completely fictiitous.
That's where you get convinced that there's a different story altogether in some different part of the world running parallel to yours. Things start getting intriguing and interesting. You feel like reading more to know about the writer. But, what if he deliberately chooses to obcure himself into anonymity. Enough to drive you crazy. Isn't it??
I've come across many such literary pieces but nothing comes as close as these ones.

Everything that he/her writes makes me feel as if he/she is spying me closely.
Whose thoughts are these? He/She could be anyone. Upamanya Chatterjee- the author of the book English August?? or Rahul Bose who played the lead role in the movie based on the book. Could be anyone? Thats not something that bothers me; or makes me happy either. What makes me curious is the thoughtprocess. Same thoughts, feelings, emotions, everything that could be understood from the words- everything same.
One of the many, that I liked is "Between"
Between
"There exists a place called 'between'.
'Between' is in the middle of here and there. It is also in the middle of this and that.
The first time I reached 'between', she hit me out of nowhere. I didn't know or plan to be in 'between', but somehow I just landed up there. It is strange, the places where life takes you. Sometimes expected, most of the time unexpected. And when the unexpected happens, the myth of 'between' becomes a reality. A reality that you may or may not want to face, but you have to. And so, 'between' begins to exist. And thus is born 'grey'.
'Grey' is 'between' black and white. It is also a place. It is a place in 'between'. It is the place you can see the most easily, and hence what you associate the most with 'between'.
But beware, what you see is not what you get. I can feel myself reaching another 'between' very soon. 'Between' is also a place where things change. That is why it is in the middle of here and there. It is also in the middle of this and that. And in the middle of 'between' everything is black and white. And that is the irony of being in 'between'. It gives you the perspective of being in the middle, and being able to see things clearly, while in obscurity.
They say obscurity gives rise to confusion, but from 'between', confusion could have never been clearer. And it is in this clarity, that one takes a decision. And that decision is what remains, even when you are not in 'between' anymore. When you take a side. When you move to one of the sides. To here or there. Or this or that.
Things change. But 'between' continues to exist. "
That's indeed my reflection.
