How to Address Stagnancy in Television Writing

Mir Muneer wound up the first day's session with a stress on an extra effort on writers' part to break out of the stagnancy TV writing has got into, with innovative ideas. The writer of Saans, Chunauti and Campus, Muneer spoke of the need to read a lot before getting down to serious scriptwriting.

The writer of unusual soaps like Saans and Chunauti, Muneer stressed the need for budding writers to soak up literature, both English and Indian, in order to hone their writing skills. "One can start with adaptations of English plays, as a stepping stone to good scripts", he said.
