Why do I write

I am more of a student and teacher in Economics than an accomplished writer.I did write for a long time in the prestigious hindu BusinessLine and my indebtedness will remain for ever to Mr.J Srinivasan who is now in the top ecohlen of the paper.Why I do write?An  academician has a resposibilty to articulate and transmit what he has learnt.I have a child in me refusing to die.and hyperactive to learn and question.And also share what I enjoy or suffer from.It is a kind of shared growth.
Once a professor was asked why did he speak and pat came the reply:"I want to hear my voice again and again.Does this logic apply to writing also?Most of will not answer in the negative.
for me reading and later writing have become more intimate and spontaneous -a kind of life giving exercise and good habit like breathing.Are we conscious of the heart beat or the silent music of breathing with a rhythm of differential variation not noticed by us.
We enjoy good  food not for  getting energy alone The same is the case with bath.Its refreshing effect on body and mind can be only felt and not expressed.Everyone of our daily activities is an act of celebration and a demonstration  that we actually live.Falling in love with the right person dictated by fate and living with books are a gift to  be cherished .Not everyone is lucky in this regard.
I have read about a woman not formally literate or belonging to the affluent class becoming a successful Blog writer.
