Shortcut may give instant success; but it will not last for a long time. Please don’t write adversely just for publicity. Publicity is just like a drop of water on leave. Ultimate truth doesn’t exist in human life. A truth has also degrees. Hence, don’t write just to present truth in writing which will spoil the mind of society. For successful author, penance is more important.
