I find myself wondering if this man is real or not? As if he is walking through this world, but those beautiful eyes are gazing into another.
He could have stepped out of an ancient Middle Eastern folk tale or one of our own Indian epics.
His writing reflects keen observation and deep reflection. He seems to be looking at the world through a child's eye. In fact, most of his stories are connected with childhood in some way.
If you watch him around babies, he has an instant affinity with them. The babies also seem to trust him implicitly.
He stays away from social media. Why? Does he not love his fans? I am sure he does, but he also knows this adulation is temporary. Human love is fickle. So he avoids feeding on it lest he come to crave it. So he moves through life, giving his best, but keeping the innermost core of his being safe.
Though he seems to seek stimulation in reading and travel, he is not an 'experience junkie' like today's pseudo-philosophers who flit from one change to another, making escapism their goal. He is centered in family and duties. What he writes or says is based on due reflection. No semi-digested 'fad-ism' there!
...and I now realize I have written so much about it him without even touching upon his acting! Oh well, is there any dearth of people to write about that? 😳
