As a young child, Megha Bajaj recalls bunking school to sit on a tank and stare at the sea, while dwelling on the mysteries of life. \u201cI had questions that school wasn\u2019t answering for me \u2013 about relationships and life in general, and so I began penning my thoughts and that\u2019s how my journey as a writer began,\u201d says Megha with candour. Her latest book \u2018The Breakthrough\u2019, a selection of 11 inspiring stories of real-life trailblazers, was an almost spiritual experience for her to write. In order to bring the truest level of authenticity, Megha actually lived with the subjects of these stories. It is this commitment to her craft that has enabled her to become a bestselling author and coveted teacher of creative writing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heena Sodhi Khera, Founder of Queen\u2019s Brigade, read Megha\u2019s book \u2018Thank You, Cancer\u2019 in 2009 which left a positive impact on her, cementing her belief that people can heal themselves. Megha\u2019s latest bestseller pushed Heena to interview her for her Youtube show #qbtherealcelebs.<\/strong> That\u2019s where they decided to initiate writing workshops for kids and individuals above the age of 11 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s important to have a coach who can correct your mistakes and hand hold you to be the best version of yourselves, in an authentic manner.\u00a0At Queen\u2019s Brigade, we believe that every individual has a story to share, especially in Covid times when all of us are introspecting. Writing is an activity that heals our emotions and inspires us to connect with our own feelings. It also helps us elevate our personal brand. All we need is a hand that teaches us how to level up authentically. Therefore, it’s an honour to host Megha Bajaj for a workshop,\u201d says Heena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megha Bajaj is the award-winning author of several acclaimed books including \u2018Thank You, Cancer\u2019 (Hay House),\u00a0\u2018I Inspire\u2019\u00a0(Jaico), \u2018Happiness in the Age of Ambition\u2019 (Rupa) and over a thousand articles for internationally renowned magazines and newspapers.\u00a0She is generous enough to offer this workshop at 11,000 instead of her usual charge of 72,000 only for Queens Brigade.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing is an essential life skill, which must be inculcated in children from a young age. Kids should be encouraged to write journals and eventually taught the art of writing other works, in order to make each piece impactful in its own way. This skills allows them to score well in exams and also helps them achieve their highest potential in life. \u201cWhen you put pen to paper, you are connecting with your subconscious self. Also, the act of writing connects the left and right parts of the brain, which brings on a meditative process. I truly believe that writing facilitates miracles,\u201d explains Megha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, writing as a career is often misunderstood, as many people believe that it does not pay you well. Mostly people pursue it as a hobby without ever developing the ability to earn \u00a0money from it. \u201cThe fact is that since technology took over our lives, we have stopped introspecting. Now the advent of the pandemic, has given us a reason to share our stories once again,\u201d Heena says with a smile.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Heena and Megha feel that humans are a compilation of millions of stories, an expression of which allows them to heal, inspire, uplift and earn well too. So sign up today for the course they are organising together, due to begin on September 11, 2021. The curriculum consists of two live sessions and one-on-one email consultations. The best performers will get a chance to co-author with Megha on newspaper articles, books and film scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
