When you write about anything it gives you the satisfaction that somewhere in the world there is a place where the world is created by you.
Martin Luther said, “ If you want to change the world pick up your pen and write.”
So when was the last time you wrote about yourself or others? Why writing in fiction, non-fiction, journals, articles, diary writing still exists in the world? Even though we have digital mediums of entertainment like TV, radio, music and mobile phones but such was not the case in the past. People of those times used to write for satisfaction, pleasure, a kind of hobby or probably just to pass time. But people have forgotten the art of pristine writing now.
Yes.. they write but only to score good marks or for educational purposes. It doesn’t stem from an inner desire to write. Of course, this modern age is so fast that everything can be done in a snap of a finger and hence we don’t have the time to write.
What were Anne Frank’s thoughts when she started writing about her life? Each page is seeping with emotions. What did these little droplets give her? Why Rassundari Debi, at the age of 60, desired to read and write? She eventually wrote down the first full-fledged autobiography in modern Bengali Literature, ‘Amar Jiban’. What did Gandhi Ji desire when he was writing his book, ‘My Experiments With Truth’? Why a deaf and blind Helen Keller wrote down the struggles of her life?
The answer is because all of them wanted to start a revolution. By revolution, I don’t mean it in the form of rebellion, not for country or nation. It is the revolution of our inner self. The blank paper is always ready to accept as you are. When you write about anything it gives you the satisfaction that somewhere in the world there is a place where the world is created by you.
When anyone reads any piece of writing, the information gets passed on. Like if I write something that influences my readers, then this may just compel them to pen down their own thoughts and influence others. So the circle of influence is cyclic. Without realizing, we contribute towards a revolution. It is purely magical!
It’s an ‘Infinite Journey of the Revolution of Selves.’
In fiction, we create our world, where we can make impossible things possible. In Ralph Waldo Emerson words, “Fiction reveals the truth that reality obscures.”
So pick up a pen and start the journey of revolution, since all our lives are stories of good books which deserve to be read and shared.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
