Why i am not as creative in english as in hindi?
This has been a question which has been ringing in my ears for now 3 years.....I never doubted my english writing english ,infact back in school i was a prolific writer in both mediums but ever sine i have come to iit english has taken over and i can even count the no characters i have read or written in hindi....
When a person like me who loved his mother tongue can be so away from his love then what about an average indian?
All this talk of revival of hindi is farce atleast in a nation which is still somewhere between developed and developing world....i think once we get developed and the living standard of ppl improves, hindi will regain the podium position as has happened in any other developed country like japan, china ,korea or germany.
So i actually went wayward with the topic and entered into the debate world.
So i was narrating my experience about creative writing.
I think a smooth writing makes sure that the contenta are relevant and the flow of ur writing should be pointing towards the same goal always.The passages should each emphasise a point in a very intricate manner.
Moreover,if u get exposure to best kind of literature in respective languauge and have read lots of good work by different greats in their respective fields then what you can do you can make your writing style's base one of ur favourite and blend it with ur top ten favourite and if u have a behemoth vocablury (like sanskrit words in hindi) then u are going to be a winner.
May be the exposure to high octane hindi has been consistent to my first 17 years of existence whereas english compared to that kind of exposure was atmost childish....
But from last 5 years hindi has not only taken a backseat but it has almost vanished from my life and english is now recieving the much deserved and waited attention.Though whenever i have jotted down pen to write in any competition be it inter halls or open iit or any competition i have won But still....alas!......Gone through lots of work in english literature but somehow still feels that "Premchand or leo tolstoy write much better then any damn english fiction writer".
But still i would say i am on a journey to perfect english and may this journey never end amen!
