First and foremost, I would like to say, this is the most creative of ideas by Yash. This has been the first time I particiapted, and I wasn’t even aware of the pros and cons of the game, and I was awestruck when I saw all the congratulatory messages in my blog. Thanks to all the readers who took part and put in their feedbacks.

 And, reffy my thanks to ye, for hosting this contest with so much enthusiasm and zeal. And off course I am absolutely speechless by the kind of devotion with which you read and follow poetry.

This contest does have a character of its own. It tickles your brain to think, to imagine, to run away into the couds, and finally when you see the thoughts in paper, it just feels so satisfying, somewhat like catharsis, what say?

First I thought I post something related to womenhood, but as I was rummaging the net, for pics.. these  pictures captivated me by the sheer volumes they speak off. A thousands words may be .. or something more…

You can write a poem or a story inspired by the above two pictures. Also, I was asked to specially mention that Bloggers who blog in Hindi can and should submit their creative pieces. I am pretty okay in hindi...:)))

Another important piece of information, verbatim is – ‘Every entry should be submitted in the comments section of this blog post to make it eligible for the contest.’

The rules:

(Copied from Supriya's Blog)

- Let your thoughts flow in a gush till 18th March 2008. Results will be out on 19th  of March 2008 - 
Let the image guide but not confine your imagination.
- Time and space mandate that your expressions should not be in excess of 500 words.
- Upon conclusion, we would have identified the next person to run the show for another week. And, believe me! That is an exhilarating feeling. You will know it when you scour for images in your mind
- Let’s be sensitive to the public forum and refrain from putting up vulgar posts.
- Let’s maintain originality, in English.
- If inspiration goads you to post multiple creative works, there are no limits on expressions. For the sake of the contest, however, only your first among multiple entries will be considered.
