Akashnil Ghosh

Akashnil Ghosh is a senior content editor at Mingleship. Coming from a middle-class Bengali family, he had developed a special penchant for writing since his early boyhood when he befriended pen, paper, and books as his only playmates.

This is when his love for writing unfurled its wings, and later, he went on to specialize in English literature at the graduate and post-graduate levels to broaden his horizons. Working as a teacher for the last twelve years, it was only a year ago that he found his true calling and entered the world of content writing. Traveling and photography have been two of his other passions, while reading and writing acted as ‘a bliss of solitude’ for him.

In Mingleship, he has been a trusted name in providing expert advice to his readers troubled by their complicated relationship glitches. If you are stuck in the mud, trust me, he is the life-saver!

Let’s see what makes him tick.

What inspired you to write about relationships?

I find relationships to be the most intriguing part of life. Yet, none of us is free from relational issues that create constant roadblocks toward a goal. That is why writing about relationship issues can play a long-awaited catharsis for those who need healing and sometimes closure to their scars and worries. For couples who suffer from the challenges, it’s important to know that they are not alone, and millions like them are struggling to strike a balance in the same way.

This is exactly what my writing aims to provide. A sense of validation and a better space to promote self-reflection. To speak my mind, I felt motivated to create this platform as I myself had quite a similar journey of love and heartbreak and wanted to curve a silver lining for those who are in pain.

How do your own experiences influence the advice and stories you share?

My personal experiences have added a lot to my narratives. In addition, I focus on curating the solutions for the readers derived from the day-to-day encounters with people I come across. It's a no-brainer that life won't be a walk in the park. There will be emotional trials.

Therefore, my top priority is to inject a voice of authenticity into my writings that can resonate with the vulnerabilities, joys, and conflicts of the readers, which I often do by walking in their shoes to make them more relatable and engaging. 

Describe your writing style when it comes to discussing relationships. Are you more inclined towards storytelling, providing advice, or a mix of both?

Talking about my writing style, I strongly believe in creating a mixed bag of ideas scribbled in the form of story-telling and sharing valuable insights. I know whatever I write should be solely driven to draw a solution. Keeping that in mind, I avoid romanticizing the concepts of relationships and try to acknowledge both sides of the coin with a fair lens.

My blogs will offer you a whole new map of a specific course of event with all the pros and cons and, most importantly, clarity toward a healthy conclusion through a lucid, cohesive, and extensive pattern of structure.

How do you aim to connect with readers through your writing?

Connecting with the readers, for me, is the key purpose of writing a piece of content. So, I strive to keep it simple, breezy, and intelligible.

On top of that, I make sure my own personality, values, and perspectives are etched in the very soul of the article so that people who flick through the pages can identify the shared humanity and experience a kinship with the portrayal.

Is there a particular topic you enjoy exploring the most?

I personally prefer to sail through the intricate lanes of ‘infidelity’ among couples and help them with a healthy revival in order to earn the happiness and peace of mind they deserve. I have seen my friends and own people betrayed and falling apart.

It saddens me a lot to find them breaking down despite their abiding commitment and loyalty to their partners. Eventually, I chose to come up with words of cure that could put things in the right place again for everyone who has lost the spark of love along the way.

How do you engage with readers, and what kind of discussions do you enjoy having with them?

I love maintaining an informal, transparent, and readable tone of writing in my content. I include multiple relevant anecdotes to add a warm dimension to the blogs I craft, along with possible interpretations, implications, and solutions to a specific dilemma to engage with my readers.

More often than not, my efforts are directed toward providing them with tips and tricks with proven results and discussions backed with valid research works that can be well implemented in a given situation.
