There’s a gradual shift in the discourse, the pledge to disclose nothing that may unsettle the established status quo. As if, a sharp object either creates more serrated edges or aggressively blunts it, like a candle is extinguished Sharp flames of clarity burn down the prejudices, dulls the mediocre opinions of the opinionated Writing is doubtful, literature even vague, between cruces of a quantum transformation … Continue reading Misguided Flow
Write when the creative juices flow, struck by a passionate creative angst to carve out our own stories, nurture them, praise them or put them on a pedestal, with ink, carving out their space, before presenting them to the world for some sincere scrutiny and sometimes harsh critiques.

It depends on the articulation! … Continue reading The Destiny of Writing

It is often while reading that you will come across something interesting to write about in your … Continue reading 6 ways to Blog Effectively

No one can curb creativity, until and unless the creative thinker wishes to do so willingly or unwillingly. Those who see … Continue reading Compulsions of Creativity- A Perspective
Write to give a legitimate voice to the words. It is essential to find the most appropriate words to synchronise with the soul. The apathy towards good vocabulary undermines the authenticity of that voice. The pretentiousness of feelings does not glamorise the words but leaves them with a half-hearted and feeble nature. It is a concern when writing becomes impatient, directionless, and absurd due to … Continue reading Why Write
