T.S Eliot, John Don, Margaret Atwood, Franz Kafka, Sylvia Plath, Shakespeare, Saadat Hassan Manto, and many other greatest writers- do you know what binds them together?

Well, it’s their way of writing and expressing, either the pain, happiness, politics, sadness, reality and any other emotions without hurting the sentiments of anyone in any way. That is the reason, writers and poets are absolutely different from a common man.

There are two types of writers, the first category of writers belongs to those who express other people’s stories whereas the second category of writers falls for those who convey their own story in a precise and expressive manner.



Also, it will not be wrong to say that anyone can write but what differentiates a writer /poet and a common person is binding expressions beautifully.

For instance, take the example of Margaret Atwood piece- “There’s the story, then there’s the real story, then there’s the story of how the story came to be told. Then there’s what you leave out of the story. Which is part of the story too.” and another artistic approach from Virginia Wolf “Nothing has really happened until it has been described”.

Can you see how beautifully they expressed the highest of emotions, that too without creating a chaos of expressions?

Though these writers are not here today but their thoughts, writings are well-preserved and has been passed on to generations by generations. And keeping them as inspirations, today, many people are in the field of writings and poetry.



By keeping what is trending the market and in the society, startups and various businesses have opted for a way to give a digital platform to budding writers too. That viable way is the mobile application.

Yes, mobile applications are the most safest and digital way to transform a raw idea into a great idea. To let budding writers and poets, mobile applications are becoming the medium to raise concerns, the voice, social stigma or anything that should be taken into account digitally.

“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things”- T. S. Eliot
