Today, there is a shift happening where women are no longer focused on breaking glass ceilings but are instead creating their own structures without needing to break anything, noted Twinkle Khanna during a recent city discussion. Addressing how women writers can shape narratives with long-lasting effects on future generations, she emphasized the importance of collective efforts to drive change through writing and policy initiatives. Khanna emphasized the need for writers to engage with their readers effectively, likening the writing process to a dialogue that captures and maintains their interest. She highlighted the unique aspect of writing, allowing writers to experience "firsts" anew, even after having seemingly exhausted life's initial experiences. Managing time as a woman writer, especially when balancing roles as a mother and spouse, involves prioritizing personal time, setting boundaries, and finding routines that work. Khanna suggested that some distance from partners could benefit female writers, highlighting the occasional necessity of solitude in the creative process.From the support of their partner, we must often demonstrate our capabilities independently. Twinkle Khanna finds that boredom and curiosity motivate her as a writer. As she evolves, she believes that two things remain constant: she is always bored and incredibly curious. These traits fuel her to observe people and ponder about their lives. Even when she is commuting or strolling, she tends to observe others instead of being engrossed in her device. This is her way of maintaining discipline. She has the discipline to embrace boredom in today’s fast-paced world. It is these feelings of boredom and curiosity that continue to inspire her.
