Am I a Writer ??  

Posted in


The question kept splashing in my mind very eloquently… And even for a moment I believed ‘yes’ I am. But then something shook my convictions and I was dropped in an endless rambling thoughts!
What have I actually done to be called as a Writer?
Must I actually earn a living by writing to declare myself a writer? If that’s the case, then I am not a writer. Must win a contest? I have not done that also and really nothing that I would say, allows me to call myself a writer. Must I be published? I actually have not been published yet… not even for an extremely small time. Still, nothing to merit the title of “author” or a “write” in any case. Guess that was the reason I went out sight for so long.

Does writing a blog allow me to claim the title of writer? I do write often. But then again, anyone can start a blog and type random letters on it and push publish. Does readership of the blog make me a writer?

I don’t possess any particular skills, just a simplistic yet deep love for the written word. Not just words, but the conveyance of emotion in words. The types of words that make you laugh, cry, or really ponder long after you’ve read them.

I pick my pen or move my fingers on keyboard to express the deepest of me; indeed it unwinds my soul and rejuvenates me each time I write.

See, I’m obviously, not successful as often as I’d like. However, does that make me less of a writer? I think being a writer is what is felt in the heart. Somewhere deep in me there’s a spark which makes me believe so at times. And if indeed, that is the case, then I am a writer.

I sense the answer to my question “Am I a writer?” lies within my heart. And reader you know what, my heart always answers for all my baffling hitches... So, if you’ve pondered that question, I urge not to look any further than inside your heart.

After SANCHAAR Fever, now it’s EXAM FEVER

Hey friends. How are you? It’s pretty long since we interacted. I am so sorry my dearest readers actually these days Aryan is too busy. Aryan was involved in the Rajasthan’s only media fest; yup you guessed it right SANCHAAR of Amity School of Communication. For Aryan and his peers’ SANCHAAR means a lot; after all we all are ASCoites rather Hard Time Journalists. Aryan wants to thank the guys and gals from the other courses who contributed to the success of SANCHAAR2010 but only thanks is not enough for their dedication and the unintentional support. Aryan ki bhasha mein bole to ‘Hats off’ friends.
“There might be difference in our thinking but when it’s time to action we are one”; the status on the Aryan’s fB wall a day before SANCHAAR 2010. Almost all of the Aryan’s friends liked the status but a comment from a worthy friend ‘to whom are you referring – ASCo or…?’ confused Aryan. What does this comment mean? What do these three dots (…) mean? Baffled Aryan when posed the same question to the guy personally; the smart and intelligent reply ‘are yaar ASCo or AMITY’ came that too with a laughing tone. This irritated Aryan too much hence ended up in a shallow trifle. No no nothing serious, all is well. But what is difference between AMITY and ASCo? ASCo is only the part of it like other courses. ASCoites are Amitian first. Chalo koi nahi hota hai…. everything is ok…
Now, SANCHAAR 2010 is over and the stage for end semester exams is all set to rock AMITY from 13th of December. The examinations are not real test of one’s caliber but one of the way to judge your learning skills. So my dearest and beloved fellow Amitians    ‘get set go’ bole to phod do. Aryan wishes all his fellow Amitians ‘ALL THE BEST’ for the end semester exams. May you all shine like the brightest star of the universe and make us all proud to be AMITIANS - WE NURTURE TALENT. So till then take care Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte…
CHEERS HABEEBI!!!
