Or do we Prefer Writers, who express their ideas persuasively, brilliantly, with whole hearted assent and dedication to convey something of substantial value to it's taciturn readers.Writing is a form of art,indeed one of the 'highest and richest',, forms enriched with a wide variety of differences, in itself. Words, Are tools or Medium, through which a writer attempts to create, it's Own Rhapsody .writing is one of the most exclusive , informative and a powerful weapon, that holds enormous power and potential to dictate nations, spread warm messages amidst hurtful rumors, and promote an ideology or Belief, Upon Which the entire nation vehemently Agrees!
