View all responses

Writing is more than just a hobby for me;
it is a profound passion that has become an integral part of my life, especially after retirement. What began as a way to fill my time has evolved into a meaningful journey of self-expression, creativity, and personal growth.

Retirement, for many, is a time for relaxation and hobbies. For me, it was a rediscovery of a passion I had long cherished: writing. What began as a casual pursuit has transformed into a vibrant, fulfilling journey of self-expression and connection.

I find immense joy in the solitude of writing.
It’s a sanctuary where my thoughts, experiences, and imagination intertwine to create something tangible.

The process of transforming abstract ideas into concrete words is akin to an artist bringing a vision to life. It’s a deeply satisfying creative outlet that keeps me engaged and inspired.

A Retired Writer’s Journey

Beyond personal fulfillment, writing has become a bridge connecting me to the world. Blogging has opened doors to a community of like-minded individuals.

Sharing my perspectives and witnessing how my words resonate with others is incredibly rewarding. It’s a dialogue, a dance of ideas, and a testament to the power of human connection.

Poetry: The Heartbeat of Expression

Poetry holds a special place in my heart. Its concise and evocative nature allows me to capture the essence of emotions and experiences in a few carefully chosen words.

Writing poetry is a transformative process, one that invites introspection and deepens my understanding of the world around me.

On my blog, I intertwine poetry into the fabric of my thoughts. It’s a means to share fleeting moments of inspiration and beauty with my readers. Through verse, I aim to evoke emotions, ignite imagination, and inspire others to discover their own.

Consider this simple poem about a walk in the park:

Golden leaves crunch beneath my feet,
Each step echoes nature’s gentle beat.
Sunlight filters through the trees above,
A brief caress, a warm, tender love.

These lines attempt to capture the sensory experience of the walk, the tranquility, and the connection with nature.

Poetry has the power to transport readers to a specific moment, allowing them to feel the emotions and experience the world through the writer’s eyes.

The Writer as Communicator

Writing has sharpened my communication skills significantly. Constructing sentences and paragraphs has enhanced my ability to express thoughts clearly and succinctly.

Being exposed to new words and phrases has enriched my vocabulary, allowing me to become a more articulate and captivating speaker.

In today’s world, effective communication is paramount. Writing is a valuable tool for personal and professional growth. It helps to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and persuasive skills.

A Milestone Achieved: Meri Kalam Se

I am thrilled to announce the publication of my book, “Meri Kalam Se,” on Amazon. This is a significant milestone in my writing journey. It represents the culmination of countless hours of passion, dedication, and perseverance.

Writing for Impact

While my blog may not aim to change the world dramatically, I hope it can make a positive impact on the lives of my readers. By sharing my experiences, thoughts, and poetry, I aspire to inspire, connect, and encourage personal growth.

Together, through the power of words, we can create ripples of change that extend far beyond the pages of a blog.
