सच तो यह है कि लेखन, किसी भी अन्य रचनात्मक काम की तरह, अपने साथ दर्द और अपार आनंद दोनों लेकर आता है। दर्द अक्सर सबसे उपजाऊ विषयों के भीतर ही छिपा होता है; आनंद उस विषय को एक नया रूप देने में निहित है और इस प्रकार उससे गुजरने में है जो हमें आगे बढ़ने में मदद करता है, साथ ही दूसरों के लिए कुछ मूल्यवान सृजित करता है।

The fact is that writing, like any creative undertaking, carries with it both pain and great joy. The pain is often inherent in the most fertile subject matter; the joy lies in transforming that subject matter and thus moving through it in a way that helps us grow while we create something of value to others.

जिस तरह संगीतकार कॉन्सर्ट में जाते हैं और कलाकार दीर्घाओं (गैलरी) में जाते हैं, उसी तरह लेखक किताबें पढ़ते हैं। आप किसी भी कार्यशाला (वर्कशॉप) या 'कैसे लिखें' वाली किताबों से जितना नहीं सीख पाएंगे, उससे कहीं अधिक आनंददायक तरीके से अच्छी साहित्यिक रचनाएँ पढ़ने से शैली और भाषा के बारे में सीख जाएंगे।

Just as composers go to concerts and artists visit galleries, writers read. You will learn, in the most enjoyable way, more about style and language from reading good literature than you will ever acquire from workshops and how-to books.

'माय फैमिली एंड अदर सेंट्स' जेरार्ड डुरेल के क्लासिक संस्मरण 'माय फैमिली एंड अदर एनिमल्स' की याद दिलाती है, न सिर्फ अपने शीर्षक में, बल्कि अपने अद्भुत हास्य और काव्यात्मक गद्य में भी। डुरेल की तरह, किरिन नारायण पाठक को हमारी दुनिया से कोसों दूर एक मोहक दुनिया में ले जाती है, और वहाँ के अनगिनत नजारों, आवाज़ों और महकों को जीवंत कर देती है, साथ ही वहाँ के लोगों के गहरे सांस्कृतिक विश्वासों को उजागर करती है। भारत इस किताब के किरदारों—परिवार के सदस्यों, गुरुओं, हिप्पियों और पड़ोसियों—की भीड़ में सबसे जटिल चरित्र है, जिन्हें अब मैं अपने पुराने दोस्तों की तरह मानता हूँ।

My Family and Other Saints echoes Gerald Durrell's classic memoir, My Family and Other Animals, not only in its title, but in its wonderful humor and lyrical prose. Like Durrell, Kirin Narayan takes the reader to a fascinating world far from our own, and brings to life its myriad sights, sounds and smells, while revealing the profound cultural beliefs of its people. India is just the most complex character among a cast of characters-family members, gurus, hippies, and neighbors-all of whom I now count as old friends.

अगर आप संस्मरण (मेमॉइर) लिखना शुरू करने में मदद चाहते हैं, तो आप किसी ऐसे प्रसिद्ध लेखक के चंगुल में नहीं फँसना चाहेंगे जिसे लेखन कार्यशाला सिखाने के लिए सिर्फ इसलिए रखा गया है क्योंकि उसका नाम छात्रों को आकर्षित कर सकता है, न कि उसकी शिक्षण कला के कारण। आपको ऐसे किसी व्यक्ति से उलझने की ज़रूरत नहीं है जो चुपचाप यह सोचता हो कि आपको अपने जीवन पर नहीं बल्कि उसके जीवन पर लिखना चाहिए।

If you want help in starting to write memoirs, you don't want to fall into the clutches of a famous writer who has been hired to teach at a writing workshop solely because of his name's ability to attract students, rather than because of any teaching skill. You should not have to grapple with someone who secretly thinks you should be writing about his life rather than your own.

एक बात पर हम शायद सहमत हो सकते हैं कि सच चाहे हम उसे जैसे भी परिभाषित करें, उसे बयान करना अक्सर मुश्किल होता है। कहानी के तथ्यों को बयां करना भी मुश्किल हो सकता है, और उसकी भावनात्मक सच्चाई को बयां करना भी कठिन हो सकता है।

One thing we can probably agree on is that the truth, however we define it, is often hard to tell. It can be hard to tell the facts of the story, and it can be hard to tell its emotional truth too.
