A literature

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

“A man must lift himself by his own mind, not degrade himself.The mind can be the friend of the soul, and the mind can be the enemy.”— Bhagavad Gita 6.5

Who knew I could finally write about a book—and see it published from the other side of the world? So cool. Who would have thought I could pour out all the demons in my head and turn them into words, when it is the past that keeps destroying the present moment?

I needed to know if it was possible for someone to read my thoughts and finally stop haunting me—not through any mystical means, but through the simple act of seeing the truth written down. Guess what? It worked.When the book came out, Xandra was furious. Deeply unsettled.

She flagged the book, angry that these thoughts—once unspoken—were now living on paper. In a strange way, that anger was the cure. Her long-held suspicions lost their grip the moment the words existed outside my head.She showed the book to her warlord Raul, to her mother, and finally to her cousin. That cousin began to look at me differently.

I could sense her wondering why a page felt so familiar, why it echoed something unspoken—why it felt as if I had written about her father. What she didn’t know was that the story wasn’t about her at all. It was about the weight of being watched, misunderstood, and mentally invaded by assumptions.The book was an experiment. The crickets that was listening in stopped and returned to Rathe to informed their master just now at 6.49 am on 31.1.25.

I wrote word for word what had lived in my mind for years, turning fear into literature, confusion into structure. And in doing so, the noise stopped.Chilling. True. Xandra’s suspicion dissolved.

The constant cry of imagined threats faded. Writing became my way of curing myself from the haunting—not by fighting it, but by naming it.If anyone ever gets the chance to read this collection, they may be amazed that real-life encounters—raw, uncomfortable, unresolved—could lead to literature that heals.

Not just the reader, but the writer too.So I ask you this: What is the one thing you are most scared to do?And what would it take for you to finally do it?Sometimes, all it takes is the courage to write it down.
