The Evolution

Radha looked very happy because her husband Rahul started to write blogs and she had always felt that he was capable of some good stuff. She also had some apprehensions about his decision to pick up writing rather than using his skills to create other contents she considered of more value. she finally came out of her thoughts and decided to get first hand information.

Rahul! why have you picked up writing in today's time when most of the people want to spend their time watching videos on YouTube and other OTT platforms? asked Radha.

Rahul replied,' I really feel good when I write. Its like pouring your heart out on a paper. Its very close to my heart and as far as  videos are concerned, I think its not a good way to spend your time.

I find  videos very intresting. I even have my own YouTube channel where I show people several ways of creating wonders at home and also cooking some delicious dishes. Now  you are saying that all my work and thousands of hours spent by millions of content creators are bad? Radha asked with little agitation in her voice.

Who am I to question the hard work of so many people? My point is that when you read something, your brain works to bring images related to the content. You use your imagination to visualise what you are reading. There are so many benefits of reading that it is nearly impossible to describe them all whereas in movies and in video,the creator is showing his/ her creation and you as an audience are supposed to surrender your senses', Rahul replied.

'A picture says  a thousand word. Just imagine what a moving set of pictures can do', Radha argued.

Have you seen any director of a movie worth his salt ever starting a project without a good story?Your moving pictures are dependent on the words of a writer. Every immortal dialogue was once an idea and then some words of a writer.

Reading is a boring activity for a large number of people.why do you think that they will pick up an activity they are not intrested in? Radha enquired. 

This is the unsaid pandemic that has engulfed our entire race and I am simply trying to put in my perspective.Everyone wants a healthy body but no one wants to workout.Everyone wants to be rich but no one is ready apply themselves.Majority of people know deep inside them that the path of their current life will never lead to their goal of abundance but still they are not willing to take risk.Similarly, Reading is a well researched way of improving your intellect and without a doubt helps everyone without exception but as very common,people are not willing to try.Books are your best friends is an age old phrase for a reason.No wonder, more and more people are facing depression as they have moved away from their best friend, Rahul said.

You and your funny philosophies! why will someone do something they don't like.And there are several ways to reach the same place.You insist that Yoga is the only way to health but many people want to run or go to gym.Radha argued.

Radha! Its not my way but an age old way of gaining wisdom.And you are right as is said in Rig Veda

एकम सत विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति।।

And Reading is one of the way.
