RESULTS for The Xmas Special Contest!
"The Updated She" conducted Xmas special contest of short story writing to encourage women writers. There was a decent response and I received a few stories from that I have shortlisted 7 valuable, unique, and own stories that would inspire any women who read.
All 7 stories are published on The Updated She website in the "stories to inspire" section. The first three voucher winners were selected based on the impact, moral of the tale, inspiring quotient, clearly crafted storyline, etc., and only those who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were considered for the first three prizes.
Work by "The Updated She" Author Vardhani - The stories weren't concept modified but the stories were corrected with few punctuation errors and grammar errors before being published. A line from the story has been selected and made as an image and posted along with each story.
Congratulations winners and keep writing more.

The Successful Ten!
Gratitude towards quarantine tenure, this had made me dig up my dream and passion. I was able to make up ten post at a stretch, thanks to Lockdown. Irrespective of the routine schedules I did make up only due to the stay-home stay safe slogan implementation. I am glad I could make up ten blog posts. Once an interest emerged I commenced executing my passion but was left emptied just with a single post due to life pressures and circumstances. I have made self-assurance to pen my blog often, to respect my passion, and to fulfill my passion on a regular basis. I am thankful for the ideas that emerged in my brain to fill-up as content in my blog. I realized that I enjoy writing right from my eighth standard. And I kept doing it one way or the other as letters to my friends during holidays, as diary writing the sweet memories of my life and often as poems in my poem note. And now it has been the blogging. To the readers, I would love to share informative, aesthetic, useful, and random thoughts pricking my brain. Let me blog without a clog. I felt of celebrating ten posts as this is the stepping stone along the milestones to be reached.
The successful ten would be the spur for excessive penning of blogs. Eager to pen down more. Eager you expect the more!!
