Authors Note
THE TRAIN
W hen I was a child, one of the many things that excited my imagination was a railway train. Its vibrant rustling noise would invite me near the track to fervently watch it run with a pace of fleeting time and leaving behind the throbbing impressions of a gone-by dream. My cousin, who was four years elder to me, often accompanied me. It was he who pointed to me how mighty was the engine that could pull the long train comprised of so many bogies. I know he was as wise as all other elders who, in their utter ignorance, impart a basically wrong knowledge into the minds of their inferiors. And I was as foolish as any other child of my age that even after watching the train-driver throwing coals into the big burning hole, could never realize that an engine has no power in itself to pull the train. It is the STEAM that makes miracles, and nowadays when steam-trains have ceased to be, the same role is being played by ELECTRICITY. The energy that actually pulls the train is, thus, far subtle, more powerful and yet hidden from our bare eyes.
For ages, our elders have been teaching us that the fluency and potency in our writing comes by our sound knowledge of grammar, rich vocabulary and ample understanding of sentence structures. They are not wrong but once again, the glory of ENGINE is being sung and even though every careful student agrees to the fact that in spite of all grammatical and compositional tactics they have failed in writing even a paragraph of abiding impression, they have not been able to grasp the power actually being exercised by some hidden steam, some obscure electricity.
The engine is very important for the running of a train because it has devices and receptacles to control and receive the power generated by steam or electricity but if there is no power, then? A sound knowledge of grammar, a wonderful mastery in vocabulary, a deep understanding of syntax are all very important if one wants to improve ones writing but the power of writing comes from a simpler and subtler entity a desire to write well.
This book is not written to threaten and intimidate the readers by giving them the wrong information that the engine pulls the train but to unburden their minds by rightly advising them that the power to write well is within their grasp, in the reach of their own heart. This book deals with some basic, simple and genuinely tested elements that foster the readers desire in this direction and help them identify how to generate and regulate the power that is behind a good writing.
