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.

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...

Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Spill the Tea: When an online relationship feels more real

Anaya’s online relationship feels intense, intimate, and real — until she meets him in person. At a roadside tea stall, she admits she prefers digital intimacy to real-world vulnerability. This Spill the Tea story explores online friendships, emotional loneliness, and the quiet cost of choosing a screen over a life. Anaya rang the bell without calling first. When I opened the door, she was already stepping in, as if the decision had been made long before.  I asked her to sit. She chose the edge of the sofa, not leaning back. I went to the kitchen and opened the cupboards, scanning for something to put in front of her. I found a bar of chocolate. I broke it into uneven pieces and placed them on a small plate. She took one. The foil crackled in the quiet room.  “I’ll make tea,” I said. She looked at the plate and then at me. “No,” she said. “Don’t make it here.” I thought she meant she didn’t want tea. She shook her head. “Let’s go out. Tapri chai .” She said it lightly, ...
