We humans think about things differently in different situations, we have different parameters and principles that we hold dear, which can very easily be seen as paradoxical to one another, if looked at from outside. Mohit Khare: “Real life is not black or white, it’s grey”, you must’ve heard this a lot. TBE: Why, or how do you think stories are able to create that kind of reaction in people, where they touch something viscerally inside of us that relates to our own past? I found it not only enriching but also sustainable given the fact that I was also pursuing a career in Information technology simultaneously. And hence I started writing short stories blending fact with fiction. Short stories on the other hand presented a powerful medium to convey things without taking too much of a reader’s time. Poems were too lyrical and short for that and articles were not that engaging. Mohit Khare: I wanted to preserve the experiences that I had in life and the interesting characters I met, in my writings. TBE: Where’d you get the idea to do a collection of short stories instead of a full-length novel? How did you settle on the short-story form-or did it settle on you? And that’s why the name of the collection- An Indian Farrago.
The experiences are all set in my dear land, India. And that’s the confusion that exists in the stories as it coexists in all of us. One will lead you towards the bright light, and another one towards the dark. There is no common thread binding the contents of the book, these are works that stand independent of each other, some of which you will find complete, fulfilling, while some others will leave you with a question, a gap, a hiatus. Life, as its spent through the eyes of young boys, youth, middle aged men, wizened people, crooks, dancers, poets and even gods gentle creations- animals and birds. The characters in the stories are different from each other, all looking at life in their own way.
A farrago, as you know, refers to a confused mixture, and this collection of stories and poems is just that. I get a lot of questions about the title. There are stories here that are written just about a year back and some that I wrote almost two decades ago. I have been doing that over the years now and that’s what culminated in putting them together in a collection in the form of my book. I started with poetry and then moved to prose. Mohit Khare: I have been writing ever since my junior college days. What does it mean and how it is employed? TBE: Can you tell us a bit about your book ‘An Indian Farrago’ and what inspired you to write it? I find the title very interesting.
