- “The term – ‘Fairy-Tales’ is so ironical in itself, when I sometimes sit to write love stories with a happy ending, it usually drags me into a dilemma whether, I should even begin with a love story at first place or not? Because honestly, I haven’t seen many of them reaching climax, most of them just die out in the mid. Then comes the concept of fairy tales or what we say ‘fiction’, where nothing is impossible!But over time, if I’ve realized something, it is that there’s no such term called fiction when it comes to reality! Its harsh, in-your-face-sarcastic, ironical and highly irrational. You can’t expect what’s coming up next, and how it’s going to blow you. In the real life, the entire meaning of fiction ceases to exist. Conclusively, we writers, deal with harsh reality and write lively fictions, this job in itself is so ironical but, that’s life…” ― Mehek Bassi

But there it is: literature moves him. One of his professors calls it “the pleasure of being touched by great art.” In those words it almost sounds sexual.
