Writing has been my hobby
since I was a student doing my
graduation in Arts , but with the advent of internet and social websites like
facebook and twitter, this has been my source of excitement and creative. satisfaction
I love writing because it gives me a
medium to express my thoughts, my
opinions and my feelings. Probably the interest to write began seedling in me
because of my keen interest in reading as I love reading books, magazines and newspapers. Also , it
has been my consistent habit of writing down
references or quotes from my
reading material onto my diary because I love the interplay of words and emotions expressed by someone and it
fascinates me into deep contemplation.
Well writing has given me a lot of recognition and personal identity. I am not a writer by
profession. Although I am not a compulsive writer, but I love freelance writing and often try
my creative hand and talent at various
contests on the facebook and twitter or any other media. And my efforts at
writing or taking part in contests have borne fruit and has fetched me many rewards too. Apart from the material
satisfaction, it gives me an expression to vent out my innermost feelings
and fears. In fact writing has broadened my horizon, my
outlook and my perception.of life and its various stages Infact,
today I am a in a position to say that
it’s like a weapon in my hand albeit a
healthy and a safe weapon Writing has given me lots of opportunity to
fulfill my dreams and explore endless subjects. It has helped me to
achieve a respectable standing in my society and on social platforms. In fact writing is the best medium to express
oneself if one is vocally challenged,
meaning unable to express in speech as
much as they do so in writing. And to
compensate for this shortcoming as in my case, I took to writing and it has
given me a lot of creative and mental satisfaction Infact, it helped me to
reach out to a lot of people and also to
connect with them. Through my writing, I have
had the best opportunity of getting to know many people and interact
with them and exchange my ideas with them. It has helped me to feel a sense of
pride at my own achievement however, small they may be.
Finally, I would
conclude by saying that writing
has become my innermost and true friend , without which I would feel at
a total loss. Writing has developed my
personality and I am utmost grateful to this wonderful expression of thought on
paper which reaches out to different
people and helps them to
contemplate and change themselves
for their betterment. In fact, writing could change the world and it has.
That’s the power of pen, more mightier than the sword.
