Today, there is a shift in the way women are making progress. Instead of breaking glass ceilings, women are now creating their own paths where they don't have to dismantle anything. This was shared by Twinkle Khanna during a recent city discussion. The actress-author expressed the importance of women writers shaping narratives that can influence future generations. She emphasized the need for collective effort to bring about impactful changes not only through writing but also through policy. Here are some key points from the discussion:
- Connecting with readers is crucial for writers to make an impact, otherwise it's like writing for oneself.
- Being a writer allows you to experience "firsts" repeatedly, reliving moments as if they are happening for the first time.
- Balancing time and priorities is essential, especially for women who are mothers or wives. Setting aside time for oneself, even at the expense of others' demands, is necessary for focus and discipline in writing.
Khanna also highlighted the benefits of creating a little distance from partners for female writers to help maintain focus and productivity.As a writer, Twinkle Khanna emphasizes the importance of finding inspiration from within oneself rather than relying solely on external validation such as that from a partner. She describes how her boredom and curiosity serve as constant motivators in her writing journey. Khanna's discipline lies in observing people and questioning their lives, even in the midst of everyday activities like riding a train. This combination of boredom and curiosity is what fuels her creativity and passion for writing.
