Why i write

I always thought that anyone could write; that there was nothing special to be able to vocalize/verbalize oneself, and have that put down on paper. Things changed though, after I started writing.
It was like I had won a race; without having moved a step forward. That’s the gift of language.
What we feel, and how we vocalize those emotions completely gets channelized through mere adjectives, verbs, and nouns.

We can have, some of the best conversations through writing.
The physical absence of a friend; or relative can be bridged through communication.
Countless emotions are let on the loose through writing, emotions we never knew would surface.

I write as an instrument of expressing myself, and thoughts.
Expression of thought is the most vital things one needs to be comfortable doing.
One can’t bottle up one’s emotions to have it displaced upon another object.
It needs to be channelized through the right medium, in the right way.
Thus, by writing down my feelings I feel I’m able to better express myself. Writing comes to me instinctively and sometimes I am able to better express myself than through words.

Language also has the power within it to make us feel assorted emotions.
I started writing through the form of poetry.
Poetry was the pillar of support I leaned against, when frustrated, angry, happy or sad.
It was how I released my feelings; after all
“Poetry is a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings that takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”

Media is the main crux keeping people in this world thinking, aspiring and hoping for more.
It echoes the voice of not only those who can speak, but also those who hesitate to. I write so that I can voice my thoughts.
As soon as I feel anything strongly, I can always find solace through writing. I also write so that I can introspect upon myself, as I can always go back and refer to my writings.

When I don’t write I feel like I’m trapped in a vacuum. Emotions need to be released. More importantly I write because I love writing. I love the power of the pen, and the ability to let my imagination run wild at times.
The best part is that, in writing there are no judges... but always scope for improvement and I’m a constant apprentice when it comes to writing.

Karina Pandya in Conversation with Co-Founder of the Banyan, Dr. Vandana Gopikumar

An incident of coming across a homeless and mentally ill woman in distress on the road in front of her college in Chennai paved the route for Vandana Gopikumar to establish one of the leading NGOs in the field of mental health – The Banyan. While she was yet a Master’s student of Social Work, Vandana along with a close friend Vaishnavi Jayakumar encountered several other incidents of not being able to find the right shelter and mental institution for a woman in need of medical and psychiatric attention.     The Banyan, which was established in 1993 has been a one-stop destination to not only rescue, and rehabilitate but also treat mentally ill women from low-income groups.

Writing has been my passion for over 18 years so when I heard about the Writing Retreat that screenwriter, brand consultant and former creative director of Ogilvy - Bhavna Kher was going to conduct I was immediately interested in attending the same.     Not only this but I also wanted to connect with other writers and also sharpen my writing skills as well.
