Benefits of Writing

If you love reading, you're not alone. But sometimes, even if we read a lot, explaining our thoughts clearly can be hard. That's where writing comes in. It's like a superpower that helps us talk better on paper. Writing offers a multitude of benefits, ranging from personal development to professional growth. In this blog, we'll see how writing can make our thoughts clearer, let our creativity shine, and help us speak our minds better.


1. Clarity of Thought: Writing forces you to organize your thoughts coherently, helping you refine and clarify your ideas. This process contributes to better communication and understanding, both for yourself and your audience.

2. Creativity Enhancement: Writing encourages creative thinking as you explore different perspectives, scenarios, and ideas. It allows you to express your imagination and innovative thoughts.

3. Self-Expression: Writing provides a means to express your emotions, opinions, and experiences. It can serve as an emotional outlet, helping you process feelings and gain insights into your own thoughts.

4. Communication Skills: Writing effectively improves your ability to convey ideas, information, and messages to others. This skill is valuable in various personal and professional situations.

5. Learning and Retention: Writing about a topic helps you understand it more deeply. Researching and organizing information into written form enhances your retention and understanding of the subject matter.

6. Problem Solving: Writing can be a tool for problem-solving and decision-making. By putting your thoughts on paper, you can analyze situations, weigh pros and cons, and develop solutions.

7. Personal Development: Keeping a journal or writing reflections allows you to track your personal growth, set goals, and reflect on your journey. This practice promotes self-awareness and self-improvement.

8. Sharing Knowledge: Writing allows you to share your knowledge, expertise, and insights with a broader audience. This could include blog posts, articles, books, or even social media content.

9. Time Management and Organization: Planning and writing tasks, to-do lists, and schedules can help you manage your time more effectively and stay organized.

10. Catharsis and Healing: Writing can be therapeutic, helping you process difficult emotions, traumatic experiences, and challenges. It can support emotional health and recovery.

Whether you're writing for personal fulfillment, professional advancement, or creative expression, the benefits of writing are far-reaching and can positively impact various aspects of your life.

Books I Read in June 2025— Arundhati Roy, BR Ambedkar and More

 Today is the last day of June, and I feel compelled to jot down the books I read this month to reflect on my experience and learnings. These are the books: ~The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen ~My Seditious Heart by Arundhati Roy ~Annihilation of Caste by Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar ~History of Modern Manipur by Lal Dena Just four. It's okay, really. There is no compulsion to read 6/7 books every month. Reading fewer books doesn't mean I'm learning less. In fact, I learned more deeply. The books this month have been impactful in different ways. Clearly, there is a shift in my choices, and I feel this was meant to be. Meaning, I'm leaning more into nonfiction now. I guess I've always been angry and frustrated deep inside. Angry about the climate crisis, social injustice, discrimination, violence, war, exploitation, etc., etc. I was just deluding myself, living in the comforting world of fiction, escaping all these thoughts. As I read more nonfiction, I get angrier, but I k...

Wake up, Wake up, Children of the Land!—Poem by Tombi

Wake up, wake up, Children of the Land! You hear and hear, yet turn a deaf ear. You see and see, yet close your eyes. You know, you know, but pretend not to know. Wake up, wake up, Children of the Land! The world has seen the light of science. Has your time not come? Are you still chasing ghosts of old history? Have you forgotten? Do you not remember? Who are you? Where do you come from? To which place do you belong? Who are you to ignore the past that shaped you? Is your behaviour still human nature? Wake up, wake up, Children of the Land! There will be rain. There will be flood. Does fear still dwell in your heart? A tiger does not spare a deer. Have you forgotten? Do you not wish to write a new history? Do you not wish to be brave? Be wary, even as you sleep, Your own blood has turned cold. Like seeks like, and power pairs with power. That history, written by the mighty, Do you wish to let it rule again? Do you not wish to end it? Do you not wish to become Our fath...

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

So I recently watched the 2017 Russian adaptation of Anna Karenina , an eight-part series by Mosfilm (one of the largest and oldest film studios in the Russian Federation and in Europe, according to Wikipedia). This one takes a unique narrative approach, presenting the story from Vronsky’s perspective.  Let me tell you—I was absolutely enthralled. From the acting to the costumes, the sets to the overall production quality, I liked almost everything about this adaptation, except for a few scenes and bits here and there. The performances felt authentic and moving, capturing the essence of the novel’s characters with remarkable fidelity. So satisfying was this adaptation that I’m not eager to seek out others. Somehow, I feel that no other version could match the artistry of this one. I’d like to explore more films and series by this studio, and I most certainly will. And I don't know why it's got such low ratings: 6.3/10 on IMDb and 17% on Rotten Tomatoes. It DESERVES much higher!...
