With 'Overheard', we dive deep into truths about writing, and explore various facets of being a writer. Writing, at its core, is about an act of profound listening. In a world full of noise—especially the digital kind—it’s easy to drown out your own intuition. Yet, the most original ideas come from within, from quieting the mind enough to hear your own thoughts. Joan Didion famously said, "I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.” Writers are like sponges, absorbing the nuances of human behavior, the pitch of conversation, the ebb and flow of cultural trends. Writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Zadie Smith talk frequently about the importance of listening to diverse voices. For example, Adichie once remarked, “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete.” To write beyond stereotypes, one must first listen—closely, attentively, and without judgment. This process of listening to yourself allows you to uncover your deepest thoughts and emotions. It’s the reason why so many writers insist on daily journaling or free writing—not for polished prose, but to tune into the unspoken murmurings of the mind. Feedback, when given thoughtfully, is another form of listening—one that helps you refine your craft and see your work through a reader’s eyes. Perhaps the most underappreciated aspect of writing is the ability to listen to silence. As Haruki Murakami suggests, writing is like music—it’s as much about the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves. The best writers leave room for the reader, room for ambiguity and for thought. In the end, writing is a kind of dialogue. The more we listen, the richer our writing becomes. So, the next time you sit down to write, remember: it’s not just about what you have to say. It’s about what you’ve been listening to all along. Sign up to invest in your writing today.

Even Javed Akhtar says the blank page is where every writer’s battle begins—but it’s also where the magic happens. Writing isn’t about perfection; it’s about persistence.

When we built The Writing School, we didn’t want another theory-heavy course that leaves writers in a maze of grammar rules and rigid structures. It was about rethinking how writing is taught and who it’s taught to. The truth is, writing isn’t something you learn by sitting on the sidelines. We've spent years speaking to hundreds of thousands of aspiring writers at Youth Ki Awaaz, understanding the public perception of writing, and helping them navigate their writing journeys. The insights we’ve gathered about the perceptions, myths, and gaps in learning to write are what led us to build a School rooted in practice—one that encourages you not just to think about writing, but to write consistently, deliberately, and with purpose; a School that focuses on practice, accountability, and real-world feedback.

When conceptualising The Writing School, we knew what we didn't want: another theory-heavy course that leaves writers spinning in circles. For too long, writing has been taught as a mechanical skill—focused on grammar rules, rigid structures, and endless theory. This approach strips the creativity, clarity, and power from what writing is meant to be: a tool for communication and connection. Writing is also not something you learn by sitting on the sidelines. It’s a skill sharpened through practice, experimentation, and real feedback. We need to change how writing is learned. Instead of focusing on what makes a sentence 'correct,' we should focus on what makes it effective. At The Writing School, we don’t just teach theory—we get straight into the trenches. We’re focused on learning by writing—repeatedly, deliberately, and with purpose.

At a time when out of 57% people using modern contraception, over 37% is accounted by female sterilisation, we keep burdening women with responsibility to prevent. By measures like these, we are further taking away the remaining autonomy women exercise over their bodies. This cannot be it," Simran Pavecha writes. #reproductivehealth #womenhealth #womenscienceresearch #reproductiverights #healthcareindia #youthkiawaaz

Characters in video games have multiple chances, girls in real life don’t. This #InternationalDayOfTheGirlChild, let’s take a moment to reflect on the broken road to education that millions of girls face. Cultural expectations, household responsibilities, and limited access to resources are just some of the obstacles that stand in their way. What future are we missing out on when we deny half of our population the right to learn, grow, and thrive? Anshul Tewari
“Think about this—why do we say a leader is “blind” or “deaf” when they ignore certain groups? Or mock a government’s failure with a walker or a wheelchair?”, writes Puneet Singh Singhal https://lnkd.in/g254qBVp
