Hi friends,
All the posts in this blog so far were either about current affairs or about debatable topics or about lots of advice....
Some may find it a little difficult to contribute to such topics. For example i was at a loss at a point of time.I didnt know what to post or how to comment when Atul posted about naxalism. There was so much I did'nt know, it was a topic which i had'nt reflected upon.....
This could be the case with some of us here. We maybe be following the blog, but we might be at a loss when it comes to posting something.But reading and following a blog is not enough - in our terms necessary but not sufficient.We have to contribute too....
Enhancing our writing abilities is very important. After engineering most of us will definitely intend to study furthur. GRE, CAT, GMAT whatever the choosen path maybe everyone will definitely encounter situations where their essay writing skills are tested. GRE,CAT - SOP(Statement of purpose), GMAT - Profile and Personal Evaluation essays.Some of us might take up jobs right after graduation. Even to them writing is not an exception. For a steady growth in any company ample reflection of ur technical, clerical(reading,analysing,writing and calculating skills) and communication skills is very important. We will have to draft letters of utmost importance or prepare prsentaions for our clients. All this expertise will not come overnight.It has to be nutured.Writing cannot be learned by reading a few essays here and there.It can only be practised.
So in order to encourage and enchance ( to a little extent atleast) the writing skills we can start by taking a topic of our choice and posting atleast a paragraph(a mini-mini essay) about it.
The topics can be random, informal, formal and even bizzare. They can be topics like...What u did this weekend?What is ur schedule for the day? A prank u played on your friend etc.,
This is just to get u into the habit of writing regularly. Though a liitle stress will be laid on grammar please do not worry. Ur contribution means a lot to us. It means you have taken the next step in making yourself successful...
So guys and gals, you've come to the end of the post now..So stop chatting on gtalk, stop updating ur status on facebook, put aside ur fears and spend the next 5 min in writing that paragraph....NOW!!!!
Warm Regards,
Mrudula Singampalli.
Dear Mrudula,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this write up and let me admit, I was thinking of drafting a similar post...after all the idea behind so many questions in the various articles was to spur some reactions from the readers.
Dear Friends,
As far as earlier posts are concerned, the facts and figures can be believed but the analysis is mine. Most of it reflect my viewpoint and may be radically different from yours. So be at absolute liberty to post.
That's all about previous write ups.
As far as grammatical errors are concerned, I could find a few errors in my Naxalism post, and a few in this short, encouraging post by Mrudula......and if Mrudula can make mistakes..we all can.
So please go ahead and give some words to your thoughts. As far as general awareness posts are concerned, we will keep updating when something of interest takes shape.
Keep sharing...keep learning...keep blogging
With lots of love and best wishes
Atul Mishra
