A Warrior in Deception - A Writer...

They once said something about a pen, they said it could change the world, they said it could change history, they said it was mightier than the sword,  they said it could mar you to the core...

Whatever they said I respect as I know, when they said these things they knew that one day constitutions would be written, beliefs would be made, laws would be laid, stories would be told & change would be brought in place. All this would be done, through the medium of a pen.

A writer is not merely someone who can put a set of high-end words in the best articulated fashion, and apply the vocabulary in the most vibrant and poise manner. It's about generating an emotion, it's about bringing the dead to life. He can make the symphony of your life sound like a death choir, and the saddest moment, a flamboyant thought. He has the power to make you believe that pain is beautiful and the rain can sing. He can make the winds talk and silence scream. He is someone who can put a metaphor to anything and everything and make it look magnificent yet sober. His mind is an ocean and with his hands he waters the other budding minds and gives them a food for thought.

Go back into history and you would find changes taking place. Every time a new culture is preached, a law is made, reforms are brought, riots take place, unrest is bred, in short, a change is born its not the God, the rule, the perspective or the reason that is propagated. It's a much simpler thing that we fight for, a simpler thing we die for - an idea. It's not a free mother nation and a fully fed family that motivates a soldier to sacrifice his life on the LOC, it's the very idea of freedom, of love, of togetherness and of home that helps him die without regrets. The movie "V for Vendetta" said "Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof." You might kill a man, slaughter a million and flood history with incidences like the Tiananmen Square but it's the idea you can never annihilate. And what better method of propagating an idea could be than writing it down. A writer is someone who can make inception happen.

It all squared down to one thing.

"A sword might bring you valor, a battle might bring you victory, a speech might bring you honor, but it's only the writer's pen that makes you a legend."
