A personal perspective.

I am a writer by profession and by passion, but first and foremost, I am a devoted reader. I enjoy reading novels of different kinds, but romantic books have a special place in my heart! Roopesh Kumar's brilliantly authored 'I'm an Average Looking Boy... Will You Be My Girlfriend?’  is one such story. In 2016, he made his debut with this book, which became a best-seller!
 
You may not be drawn to this book at first glance, but the synopsis on the back cover will pique your interest. And believe me when I say that you should not judge this book by its cover  because the plot is simple yet wonderful. He understands how to tell a compelling story in simple language. It's not like the typical love novels we see; there aren't many dramatic twists and no major gestures; instead, it's all about how simple, everyday actions matter. It gently reminds us that the small, unimportant moments are valuable and special, and we should treasure them before they are lost.
 
It's a new-age college love story, and while it is a little cliché and stupid, aren't love stories intended to be? The characters are two ordinary people: Dibisha, a lovely, gentle girl, and Vidoy, a hardworking but average-looking young man. They are real people to whom we can relate.
 
It's not just about love and relationships; it's also about growth, friendship, college life, two types of parents, pain, being strong while also being weak, enlightenment, small moments in life, laughing and crying together, it's purity; it's wholesome! It's not about being perfect; it's about embracing and loving someone as they are. All of this allows us to identify with the characters' agony, envision the scenarios, and feel their emotions.
 
Yes, there is a plot twist, but I believe it adds to the book's intrigue. The book teaches us that things don't always go as planned, and it's okay to be disappointed and influenced by it; instead of giving up, seek help if necessary. And the more you read it, the more you'll enjoy it.
 
I've read this book several times and can recall each scenario from memory, and I can confidently say that it has increased my faith in true love. I'd recommend it to anyone who appreciates realistic love stories.

Difference Between: Creative Writing vs. Content Writing vs. Copywriting

 For those unfamiliar with me, I am Enigma, a content writer who occasionally writes on LinkedIn. I am a full-time student, as well as a writer and a poet. As writing is my field of specialization, I would like to share my understanding of the difference between copywriting, content writing, and creative writing. This knowledge is crucial in today's internet world, especially for those who plan to build a startup or a small business, as it will help you network better. Don't worry; I won't bore you with technicalities. This is just what I have learned from my experience as a content writer and a writing community moderator. Let's start with creative writing. It's pretty straightforward. It's a written piece using your creative imagination. It's penning down your thoughts, literally. All weird and obscure thoughts we have can be penned down as a poem, story, or monologue. It's often seen as an informal form of writing, and following grammar and syntax is

The Power Our Words Have

 Sometimes we don't realise the power of our words. Every day I am reminded of how powerful words are. Whether it's by reading the news or by observing the people in my day-to-day life. Many people come to me with their problems, to take advice or just to share them with me, and many of them always tell me how important and valuable I am to them. Now, this is not a brag here, what I am trying to convey is that your words have an impact. And using them carefully is your responsibility. You can encourage someone with your words or you can break someone with your words, so before you say something, think about how it'll make YOU feel if someone says it to you. Being kind doesn't do any harm to you, but being unkind could damage someone to the extent that they'll find their lives worthless. So be kind and careful with your words.
