AND, I'm SELECTED....!!

so this is it....!!! another competition was announced when i was writing for Grapevine India's competition.

a friend of mine, Nilesh.... asked me if i can submit one story for it too ?? first i accepted but then i was not so keen to write about it.

he would ask me daily and i would make some or other reason and then change the topic....

just 2 days before the deadline, he called me up and said, "you ahave to write! i dont want any reasons... thats it.. no sleep today, you will finish it, mail me and then doze off!!"

and i was like, "okay..."

and then i 1 whole day, may be less.. 12 hrs i guess i wrote it!!

the topic was - WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

and the 1st woman that came into my mind was - MY MOMMY!!

i wrote and wrote and worte!! by 2 AM i mailed him .docx file and msged him "i m done!! check it!! gn."

and after  some days, he called me and said go and check FB. i asked him why, and he said go n c yaa!!
