Writing is a dishonest act if it is practiced for the sake of writing only. We often write about many things without having any experience of the same, simply because somebody has expressed something. Through references writings are authenticated and authentic writers take its birth. Why do we believe somebody even if we don't have actual experience of the same? It's an easy task to create a piece as an assemblage of many authorities but it may not be true as per experience or it may sound quite illogical. Many illogical utterances often get validity simply because a name or institution of repute has said something. Validity is not desirable for a writer. Truth is more important than validity. To say truth is a daring act, the sole motto of European Enlightenment. But many of the writers of classical age wrote many a good things while ignoring the dark side of truth. Thinkers of enlightenment like Immanuel Kant advocated to use public reasoning courageously against dogmas. Courage defines the true persona of a writer or an artist. Fearful writer or a greedy writer may be popular because of their audacious capacity to use rhetoric as an art of persuasion. In truth, most of the truthful writer withers away in silence and in misery. In the history of philosophy some of the writers are acclaimed for their honesty. One of them was Friedrich Nietzsche. He may be unpopular because of many of his claims but he was genius in many ways; a writer who brought a separate paradigm of life. He may sound nihilistic like Buddha and creative like Zarathushtra. But he chose to write his experiences. He was truthful for his arts and life. That is the most desirable aspect for any good writer. Write with love. Write a word with utmost care. Write because creativity is the most beautiful part of human's life. You appear god-like in creation. Only creativity is the salvation against suffering. That is the essence of writing. Be a writer! Embrace the contradictions of life! Be honest and authentic! Trust me, writing is the most blissful journey.
पढ़ता हूँ हर एक दिन एक ही पन्ना, हर दिन हज़ार ये मालूम पड़ते हैं। जबसे होश संभाला है एक ही पन्ना सवांरते आया हूँ, लोग इसे ज़िन्दगी कहते हैं। इसपे लिखे हर एक लब्ज़ जो मेरे मालूम पड़ते हैं, ना जाने कितने जुबां पे चढ़े होंगे। आज हम भी कुछ पल के लिए ही सही इसके सारथी हैं, जाने से पहले कुछ रंग मेरा भी इसपे चढ़ जाए, बस इसीलिए एक ही पन्ना बार बार पलटता रहता हूँ। हर कोई अनजाने किताब की तलाश में बाहर निकलता है, जिसका हर एक पन्ना वो ख़ुद है। जब ख़ुद के रंग को समझ ही ना पाया, तो भला इंद्रधनुषी किताब के क्या मायने हैं? अस्तित्व में ना जाने कितने पन्ने बिखरे पड़े हैं, बस एक से ही अवगत हो जाऊँ, उसके हर एक शब्द को चुनता जाऊँ, कुछ पल के लिये सही, पिरोता जाऊँ एक माला ज़िन्दगी का।
