As everyone else, I too am very much charged up as the year is about to end. I desperately want to do something substantial, a kind of a pre-setting for some impactful new year resolutions, like every year. So this pursuit took me to you tube. on you tube, I came across a video which mentioned importance of writing essays. That's when it occurred to me how essays used to be an integral part of us till we finished our education, not so much in professional colleges though. But at least till plus two.
That made me think, aren't these videos, reels essays too. indeed they are. It reminded me of how we used to have an introductory paragraph, then the middle body or the main matter and finally the conclusive paragraph. We were told how we can score more marks if we could add some quotes or poems and much better if they were original. It also reminded me of how in my earlier days of blogging I used to actually use this same format to write my blogs.
Later somehow with SMSs and captions for social media every thing became short and to the point. I still feel it kind of killed the creativity or the language skill in us.
I was always proud of how i would always score more marks in essay writing in language papers. I was indeed very much proud of this skill of mine. I would write original poems or quotes.
But now I feel as like happened, as I entered the professional life and the hustle, I kind of lost that creativity in me. May be it is still there somewhere inside hidden under something. But now it doesn't feel easy. I think I haven't written a poem in ages.
So this is just a small attempt at essay writing (may be). I was thinking that now may be every now and then I will make an attempt to write some essay here at least. On this blog. I will definitely improve my way of writing and sentence forming too because I feel that is a skill I need to refine and has become blunt over the period of time.
Lets hope that you will see more of me this coming year, here on my blog.
Till then. Take care.
