English Class

It is cheerful to read the ideas of others and pen them saying they are my own ideas! Have you ever tried this? A touch of philosophy of that false seriousness. This is my own idea!

At this age when nobody has time to give a damn to each other, often people feel lonesome. But, if you started talking with your writing, you will never feel lonesome. You will get a medium of poring out your emotions, which is one of the most fundamental needs of humans.

Writing will accompany you whenever you wish without any excuses. Since this outlet will be the language of your heart, your writing will become pure. This is the place from where creativity begins to gush forth.
