Hey Mr. Writer, Jobless???


If you have been writing articles, blogs, poems etc., you might have often encountered a very common question from people around - Hey buddy, no other work than writing? While, at least I have encountered it repeatedly.
Many in this world think that writers are the most jobless people on this planet. Actually, a writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood. The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others.
I hope this suffices the curiosity/misconception that people have about writers.

Peace.
P.S. Next time you meet me, DO NOT ask me Why do I write...
