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.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

"Before Mazer invented himself as Mazer, he was Samson Mazer, and before he was Samson Mazer, he was Samson Masur –  a change of two letters that transformed him from a nice, ostensibly Jewish boy to a Professional Builder of Worlds –  and for most of his youth, he was Sam, S.A.M. on the hall of fame of his grandfather's Donkey Kong machine, but mainly Sam." reads   the opening line of  "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow." My two friends and I have had this little book club thing going on for about three years now. We don't have strict rules or meet regularly—it's more like whenever we feel like it. We chat about books and sometimes throw in movies or TV shows. Recently, we decided to pick the same book and share our thoughts within our group. I thought, why not blog about it too? It'll be cool to look back and remember what we felt or learned from each book. So, our first pick was "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow." When I first saw...

The Doctor and the Saint by Arundhati Roy

The Doctor and the Saint  is a nonfiction essay that presents a theoretical debate between B.R. Ambedkar and M.K. Gandhi. The "Doctor" refers to Ambedkar, jurist, economist, and the chief architect of India’s Constitution, while the "Saint" is Gandhi, the internationally revered leader of India’s independence movement. The essay was published as the introduction to B.R. Ambedkar's Annihilation of Caste, a text of a speech that was never delivered. Gandhi admirers beware! The book reveals some surprising, lesser-known facts about him. For one, he was consistently inconsistent. Who'd've thought! Caste system. Can someone please explain? AR : "What we call the caste system today is known in Hinduism's founding texts as 'varnashrama dharma' or 'chaturvarna', the system of four varnas. The approximately four thousand endogamous castes and subcastes (jatis) in Hindu society, each with its own specified hereditary occupation, are divide...

Upstream: Selected Essays by Mary Oliver

It was a joy reading Upstream by Mary Oliver. H ere are a few quotes and phrases from the book that I want to keep remembering. "you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life" "I quickly found for myself two such blessings- the natural world, and the world of writing: literature. These were the gates through which I vanished from a difficult place." "Reading, then writing, then desiring to write well, shaped in me that most joyful of circumstances- a passion for work." "..having chosen to claim my life, I have made for myself, out of work and love, a handsome life" "And that I did not give to anyone the responsibility for my life. It is mine. I made it. And can do what I want to with it. Live it. Give it back, someday, without bitterness, to the wild and weedy dunes." "Creative work needs solitude. It needs concentration, without interruptions. It needs the whole sky to fly in, and no eye watching until it c...
