I believe in seeing with the mind , writing with the heart and living through others. This way I believe in living more life per life.

I believe in writing things simple and not simply. No matter what, every word ever written will resonate differently for different people based on their intelligence & imagination. My words are no exception.

I remember and quote the following words written by Author Ruskin Bond in one of his introduction.

Ruskin Bond

People often ask me why my style is so simple. It is, in fact, deceptively simple,
for no two sentences are really alike. It is clarity that I am striving to attain, not
simplicity.

‘When you talk you sound quite complicated,’ said a friend. And I had to explain
that I’ve spent forty years trying to simplify my style and clarify my thoughts!

Of course some people want literature to be difficult. And there are writers who
like to make their readers toil and sweat. They hope to be taken more seriously that
way. I have always tried to achieve a prose that is easy and conversational. And those
who think this is simple should try it for themselves.
