“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written largely in his works.” This famous quote is apt for the Professional Development session taken up by Ms. Ratna Das, English facilitator, on Nov 21 for all her colleagues. With an intent to imbibe writing skills in everyone, irrespective of the subject they teach, Ms. Ratna has conducted a lively, interactive session. Her session included the rules to follow while writing: Purpose of writing, to whom are we writing, in what format are we writing and what tone are we using.

This hooked the audience and kept them engaged throughout the session. Writing regularly makes you better at writing. No doubt writing is a powerful skill to be good at in our digital age.
