D. If you can spend one day as someone else, who would it be? Why?
The way technology has come up, no body can say in whose
favor the dices would turn. Even a decade ago, it was unbelievable that India’s
service sector would get a huge boost because of a significant portion of the
world’s back office operations and business process outsourcing shifting to India,
and that it would cost the English speaking economies dear with rising
unemployment in their countries.
Yet amidst such uncertainties, the eyes that can see the right
picture of future emerge as winners. My aspiration to be a financial analyst for a
day is just for acquiring that “winning vision”.

Thus, the first and foremost step in striving for success in writing is to
see through the core of things and perceive different phenomena in abstraction.
On doing so, you reach the realm of oblivion; lose your identity as a writer and as
a human machine. Thereafter, whatever you see, whether a scientific or a non-
scientific phenomenon, you can transcend all your barriers of learning and
knowledge and tread into a different universe altogether, undaunted by the
unknown new domain you have landed in. For, now you are empowered with the
forces of utter self-realization, to unveil the hidden virtues discreetly lying
dormant in you, enabling you with those extra-ordinary attributes to comprehend
myriad subjects, theories and occurrences with ease that may seem impossible
with the naked eye. A new vision engulfs you, and you turn into a child of
imagination. Most importantly, it brings out the true thinker in you.
While perceiving the theme is important for any form of writing, the
ability to pen down the thoughts with excellent written communication skills is of
equal importance. The secret to mastering this art is no overnight affair but
requires tremendous toiling – which would include voracious reading and
continuous writing habits. The more you read – and whatever you read from any
discipline of study enlarges your imagination from a wider spectrum. The
language used; the varied styles and subtleties; different forms of expressions;
words, idioms, phrases, adjectives – all of these get registered in your sub-
conscious mind. Here, you should assiduously note down all new words or the
paraphernalia of language you come across, and this should be an unending
process – there is no end to learning or refining or even redefining your verbal
ability to set new standards in writing.
But writing is not merely for the sake of writing or for self-appreciation.
Seeing it in print is something that really enthrals any author, and more so if any
reputed or premier publication carries it. This would obviously instil confidence in
you, in your abilities and the potential you hold for success. Therefore, one
should keep dispatching one’s work regularly to different journals, even if on
most occasions they are not carried or returned with a euphemistic apology letter
from the editor.
The picture may not be rosy for budding writers. It’s a long drawn
process and one has to face innumerable hurdles, which may make him
extremely frustrated. Initially, when you start, you stand nowhere – and often
people may even demoralize you by stating that they are not up to the mark. But
you have to ignore all such remarks and have a steel-firm determination to
struggle and reach the heights of success – which would happen only after a
considerable time-frame.
After the long wait is over, your writing skills mature and you start
receiving the acclaims. Then you can proudly proclaim, “I am the Writer.”
