1.……..Bhakti(gold)
I liked your interpretation of the old saying to a modified version like "Pen is mightier than the gun". My attempt at explaining it's meaning is as under:
Pen is used to write words, poetry, articles, stories, news, motivational quotes, innovative theories, etc. In short, a pen can be used to reach out to the masses, influence them, inspire them to achieve greater things, make them laugh / cry, make them dream, create an imaginative world for them, give them reality check, etc. It can benefit millions of people if used creatively and constructively. It is like a double-edged sword, which if used wisely and judiciously, will create a big positive impact on people. On the other hand, a gun can never be used creatively or constructively and at best it can be used for self protection. It is a weapon of destruction and can never create a positive impact that a pen can.
A pen can bring the world together and create heaven on earth, whereas a gun can cause havoc and create hell on earth. Just because of it's reach, a pen is and will always be mightier than the gun. (Words 165)

2……..Kamal(gold)
Pen has a quality through which one can express his views across the world. Pen brings the new beginning of world where as gun brings death. Pen is a symbol of self-respect and motivation. Impression of gun is moment where as pen has forever impression. We have seen our father of nation Mahatma Gandhi never use violence but achieve his goal of independence. Gun can kill the person but never bring any change in human mind but pen possess this power. In my view pen is used to show our intellectualism and gun shows that we have a fear from others. Also, Gun can kill the human but never kill his intellectuality. In case of pen, it increases the perfectness of human thinking. So, conclusion brings an idea that pen is always act as right tool to motivate, win and share one's feeling and gun destroys all.(words 147)
3.………Madhvee Choubey(Diamond)
It has been seen in the past too that people are more influenced by the thoughts of the people. Using terror weapons like swords and gun may force people to follow them, but this cannot earn the respect to them. The people who want to rule on others by using such weapons survive for short time. And when their fear vanishes from people's mind, they come to the real world. But, those people, who used power of speech to motivate people by their words, are respected today also. People remember their wordings forever. People like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, and Abraham Lincoln became great leaders by using the power of speech only. So, the history has been the proof that pen has been always been mightier than the sword/gun. Therefore, the tool called pen should be utilized carefully because it has power to create and destroy the society. (words 149)
4.…Sudhan(Gold)
In almost all the fields in the modern era, the pen is ruling the swords. The blue color members are controlled by the white collar people even now whose job is to just sit and get the work done by Blue collar people. In almost all the organizations mind is given the importance and is placed at the top while physical work is placed in the bottom at factory level and so are the salary provided to them. Even the organs like Hand and leg that are essential are controlled by the brain of the person and this shows who is supreme and who controls whom. It is not the pen or sword that matters and it is brain or strength that matters here. These are the evident examples that shows that Brain is superior to sword and hence the statement Pen is mightier than sword is Absolutely right. (words 149)

I think a entry cannot be just rejected for the want of some more created lines. The over all content must have been taken. Any way I am not complaining.
Use this forum wisely and get recognition instantly.

@ Participating members,
I have deleted the information regarding code word as it is not safe and would reveal the members name if carefully analysed. I edited my thread post. Forget about the code word.

Anyways I am disqualified this time, it is my fault that I did not check the total number of words. I agree that you have given a word limit of 150 words, which I should have followed. Never mind, I will participate in your future quiz.
Regards
Chitra
