The importance of writing with passion: A practical approach to creative writing

Writing has been an integral part of human history, serving as a means of immortalizing one's thoughts or a source of livelihood. However, regardless of its purpose, writing should always be treated with reverence as it is a vital part of our existence.


Creative writing, in particular, should come from the heart. While it can be learned and copied, the essence of creativity lies in writing from the most profound thoughts and sentiments. There are countless ways to channel one's creativity towards writing, but the ultimate goal should be to write from the heart.


Writing is not just a job or a business. It is a passion. With passion, one can truly become a good writer. The inner voice that urges someone to write is a guiding force, leading one to explore the significance of writing to their being. Writing has no boundaries and can take us down a road that was set apart for us even before time began.


Creative writing is not just an art. It is a devotion and an instinct. While technical training can be helpful, at the end of the day, the key to becoming a writer lies within us. We all have a genius within us, and tuning into it can help us become better writers.


While creative writing can be channelled towards profit, the true essence of writing lies in writing from the heart and not minding the pockets. A business will find its way to those who write from the heart. Writing with passion is a practical approach to creative writing that can lead to success both in writing and life.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Trail of Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab – A joke!

Who do you trial? Who does this? What is this all about? Is this playing with justice or is it just a mockery of the whole thing? Well, there are lots of questions and I find very less of answers to all these. Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab is the only survivor from the pack of Pakistani terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008 (better known as 26/11). He was captured while he was on a rampage killing scores of people and injuring hundreds, on that dreadful night in Mumbai. There was a lot of fuss in the last few months about him being a Pakistani or his age to be prosecuted in an adult court or with his captivity. Recently, the long awaited trial started and everyone is waiting to see what the court will decide on his fate. Ridiculous! What is there to decide? Hang him!! Simple… Well, I do not want to hang him without getting all the information from him and only after proving that the attackers were all from Pakistan and the whole incident was built up by the Pakistani Army, Go...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
