Sometimes I feel that the best bad puns are the puns that never were in the first place until we made them so. There's a tragic sense of relief in that sometimes the attempts to achieve something unthinkable are all it takes to make that something a classic.

It's easy to say, to hear, to believe that writing is easy. Fundamentally, we all know that the good things in life can be difficult. But I'll tell you why I believe this aspect of my life is especially harrowing, and yet in many ways, it is the only way for me to be.

Something that is critically understated is the massive responsibility that comes with the pen. Why do you think people say it is mightier than the sword, and not that it is the mightiest weapon ever? Everyone assumes the true capacity of a writer to be limited to a particular point of view. A distinct enigma that would forever be the writer's inspiration. They believe that anyone's writing is objective driven, which is true for the most part.

But think about an objective driven world on its own. How enriching would our daily lives really be without the uniquely opinionated existences around us which each of us power through the day? Without the subjectivity that constitutes the various reasons for which we continue living? What we have to understand is that everything we know about is birthed from the stories we have created so far. And our futures will continue to be dictated by the extent to which we interpret, modify, extend, and eventually end these stories.

With this understanding, everyone is a writer. But only a true writer is conscious about the impact of their words. A true writer is aware of the consequences of writing and rewriting history. A true writer has to continually shake, twist, rattle and bang their reality and/or imagination to produce from themselves offspring which could prove to be a revelation for the earth's sprawling, orderly mess. Would these offspring be loved or hated? Well, the answer to that will forever be subjective.

Whatever the case, the writer has to suffer to create. Worlds within worlds, weakness with strength, terror in the wake of beauty, titans overturned by molecules, conflict among the brightest spots of creation; these are not ordinary figments of thoughts noted down in my leisure.
Believe me, everything that comes out of my head takes extraordinary effort. Something neither you nor I are completely aware of. So, yes. To write, first I have to writhe.

[The rest of the email goes like this];
Centuries after we're long gone, what kind of relics would alien civilizations find and learn from us? What kind of multi-faceted, culturally enlightening recipes for life would we provide them with? This is the main concept for a narrative novel I'm working on, which would examine the intricacies of humanity and how it would affect life in a different part of the cosmos.

I've attached my resume to this mail. And I've added the link to the media organisation that I was a part of. This link will show some of the articles I've contributed to the website: Manipal The Talk Network
I'm also a sceenwriter. Mostly for short films, I recently wrote one for a 30 min feature, which I've attached along with the resume.

I hope I turn out to be what you're looking for. More importantly, I hope you find whosoever you seek.

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely
