PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN A SWORD

“Pen is mightier than a sword” is one of the first proverbs that we learnt in the initial days of our schooling. As I started writing this excerpt, I began wondering the materialization of this proverb.

How easy it is to hold a pen and write. But, the moment we take up our hand to write, we unknowingly draw imaginary lines or move our hands across the paper with no particular reason. What makes a writer do that? Has the old saying got to do something with it? Or is it the inexplicable comparison that we draw between a pen so small a thing and a sword that’s blazing and powerful. What quality should be attributed to it to make it mighty?

To me, the letters produced by a pen makes it powerful. It has the charismatic quality - to create something.  For a writer, the content of his writing is of utmost importance. For a content to be successful, a writer scratches up his head for ideas that has some meaning to it and that which can be presented well; forgets sleep if an idea clicks his mind; walks to and fro to get his idea in words; checks up dictionaries for frivolous or complicated words; plays with his fingers to put in correct words at corrects areas; searches his original idea which sometimes gets vanished in vast layers of letters.

Today we live in a digitized world where the usage of pen is slowly fading out. But the concept still remains.

Writing is a different experience for everyone. For some it is a hobby; a profession; a passion; happiness; relief from boredom, etc. Anyhow it certainly is a phenomenon in itself.

Experience it yourself and see…
