Women’s Day, Today & Every Day!

I was wondering what should I write this women’s day, and there arrives my Amazon delivery: The Golden Secret Of Divar Island by Vandita Mitter. A young talent and a very dear friend’s daughter.

A grade 7th student, a thirteen year old and an author! 

I am writing this post as I watch Mission : Impossible Ghost Protocol for the nth time on Prime Video. However, this time it reminds me that a few years back, and in a few circumstances still, women as writers was or still is, a mission impossible. Centuries back, women writers had to adopt musculine pen names or gender ambiguous pseudonyms to get a book published. And yet today, we have women writers across all ages as novelists, authors, journalists, bloggers, influencers, life coaches and the list goes on. 

This arduous journey from years to today is almost captured by Ethan Hunt’s Leap Of Faith Expressions in the MI-4 movie. Even ‘impossible’ can be read as I’mPossible. It’s just when, not if, you take that leap of faith. No, I don’t mean anybody to jump from any building or any height here, but to break the stereotypes and move ahead with confidence. 

I’m yet to read Vandita Mitter’s book. But I am sure it will be a fun read.

Until next, Happy Women’s Day to all women and all those who empower women!

Why I Write

I write as I like to write. I write as it is my profession. I write to bring awareness. I write to test my creative abilities. I write to share right knowledge, to entertain and to catch readers’ interests. I write as I want readers to read, understand, comment and criticize my writing so that I learn from their critique.

I write my thoughts…my emotions.

I write to complete my assignments which demands writing. I write because I want people to read what I think. I write to remember. I write to maintain contacts with my loved ones. I write for work, for business. I write to improve my language and vocabulary. I write what I believe in.

I write as I think ‘Pen is mightier than sword.’

I write because I am a writer.
