Creative writing trail with Bachi Karkaria

We live in a world of words. And we are seized by thoughts all the time. But it is only when we connect our words with our thoughts that we begin to truly express ourselves. And creative writing is the art of putting on paper or computer what we want to in the most appealing manner.
The question is: Is there a little Joyce or Hemingway hidden inside you? Is there a writer wriggling to come out? Whether you are a copywriter or a budding journalist; a banker with a literary bent or an executive who wanted to be a writer, we will help open your mind and your senses to the extraordinary hidden in the humdrum.If you feel there are gaps between your thoughts and words, The Times of India is ready to lend you a helping hand.The Times Passion Creative Writing Trail in Mumbai (March 12-15) will harness your skills and help you become the writer you always wanted to be. The workshop will train you to grapple with idioms as you wrestle to the ground demons that are keeping you from bold writing. As American educator Brene Brown once said, "Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we're all in this together."
