1. A children's poem I wrote-Please don't ring the doorbell--
A funny piece written for small children. I was inspired by the doorbell ring to write this. I got 3 comments on this. I want to publish this poem in Open Sesame, Deccan Herald. I will be submitting it next week to be precise...
2. A horror Chiller which is really creepy! MADNESS BY MOONLIGHT--RATING PG
This one terrified me to quite a bit! It’s not often you would see horror like this. I was inspired by the dark horror theme behind this story. I wrote about a vampire without using the word vampire in all of the words in this story. I wrote this dark tale, seeing the moonlight cast its shadows on the land. A mystical female vampire is the main character and she lives in an abandoned mansion. I loved the last 2 lines especially.”
“When darkness falls and the moonrises her shadow will awaken her again. Together they will move into the night supping on vengeance and hungering to satisfy their yearning for mortal flesh and blood.”
I submitted this one to commonwealth short story competition. I received some good comments on this in one of my personal website. Also a few comments said that I have to edit it thought the concept’s good. When I submitted this as my creative writing assignment I got a low score. I got a strong remark saying that this doesn't qualify as a proper horror tale at all. Then I edited this with the help of one of my online friends and I submitted it for "written in blood contest" in www.vamplit.com. Thus there are all the facts behind “Madness by moonlight”.
3. My first play which was edited by NIMO MENON...It is called "When the thunder roars"...
I tried to use American slang here in my first play. I have never written a play before. I thought this was too bad. I received a poor comment on this at first in a website. But I never lost hope. It was featured in a writing site at last and came out in the top 10 list. NIMO MENON MA'AM edited it and she corrected the word "thunders" many times as "thunder”. That was my simple error. She did a great job editing it in spite of her busy schedules. I also changed the age of the children. I turned them into teens... But at last it finally came out as a cozy tale with a few teens in a bungalow waiting for the rain to stop.
4. My first Indian fan fiction which may touch your heart and soul...”KRISHNA'S LETTER"
This one brought a lot of tears into my eyes. I wrote it with a lot of feelings. I wanted this to be a touching spiritual tale. I made a simple tale out of a letter written by a dying Krishna(a farm boy) to his father. He writes this encouraging piece which serves as a solace to his father who is grieving on the death of his son. He speaks about his meeting with the Lord in his dream and how his soul unites with him forever and how he becomes enlightened. I loved every part of this writing.
5. Nid's nature dairy watch Journal-- Article 1--A garden of flowers
Fascinated by flowers, I worked on this short article... I made it too short because I wanted it to be short and sweet. Again this brought some joyful tears when I really touched a flower and talked to it, as I write this article. My favorite lines are
“God must have been a genius and an artist of exceptional talent to make them and we human beings do not even notice the beauty in it”.
6. Henry's first Adventure-- a children's story by me
I always love Enid Blyton and Roald dahl..I was inspired by those children’s writers which made me pen a children’s short story with a bunny as a main character. I brought out conflict in the form of a wolf. Henry property is invaded by a stout bunny and Henry fights back to regain his property. It’s a funny children’s story. The last 4 lines of the poem were also written by me.
7. Tea Time—NID’S KIDS JOURNAL-2
I loved this poem so much when I typed it for the first time. It’s good to have a family poem where all the members drink tea. I myself dream of a large family. The second paragraph is simply very good but I was not still satisfied with the last paragraph myself. The tea all spills out and the children have to go without tea that day. A sad ending to that but a few optimistic lines at the end which says ...”
Uh... No more tea pots!
Never mind!
We’ll all drink tea tomorrow
Well, there is much time we’ve got!
8. My Vision of the Future- A Creative Thought
I do not know astrology or any Predicting stuff. I just wanted to convey a universal message to all which would suit everyone and be applicable to all. I worked on this for 10 minutes and came out with it. I mention something about MOCHA WRITERS CLUB here saying that it would become the biggest and famous writers club in history. May sound childish!
9. Yellow Balloons- A Sweet Story
One of my online writing friends requested me to write a story with him. I didn’t know what to do. I just had an excerpt of a paragraph I wrote in my creative writing class and I gave him that. He wrote the next entire 7 paragraphs to complete the story. It’s about something special. I won’t reveal it here. You should read the story for it. It’s posted on our blog. I loved the ending, though...
10. An Enchanting Tale about a Beautiful Mermaid
Finally I got this published in Times school newspaper. It was selected. I was filled with joy when I went to collect it. It’s about a beautiful mermaid and her voice. I then edited the story and sought help from another online writer who worked on the ending. The Times of India people advised me to keep on writing. Now, I know that One day I’ll become a Writer and soar to the skies and publish my writings in GOLDEN INK….
11. Paradise Tears of Golden Joy
I just had a golden concept in mind and scribbled it till it became a golden poem raining gold and gold all around! I loved every line of it. I got the idea from a dream. That dream was just wonderful where the weather was very cool and it rained gold in a rainforest and I was drenched in golden drops watching the cloudy dark sky...
12. I Will Come For you—INSPIRATONAL POETRY
Well I think most of you would know this. I recited it in an introductory meeting of MOCHA WRITERS CLUB. This poem provides solace to all who are waiting for someone/something to say this to comfort them. It’s worth the wait to hear such poem…
12. My beautiful Christmas tree
I wrote this one last Christmas... I am always enthralled by the snow and Christmas trees and the lights and the gifts... So I wrote this…
13. Every Moment Is a Blessing
Personal Favorite! But on the other hand not much to write about…
14. The Messenger of Love
I want to submit this again to a newspaper. Love the cliché’s and the lines which say
“I am the white dove
Who spreads messages of love”
15. NID’S NATURE DAIRY WATCH ISSUE 2—LOVE OF THE FORESTS
This is one of my dreams to live like a character in this tale. Living with nature and natural landscapes! Too GOOD to IMAGINE!
16. Hope at the End of the Tunnel
My first spiritual poem filled with hope. It was again featured in a site for many days. I received many comments. I wrote this after seeing the sunshine on a bright morning!
17. The Dino in the Fridge—A Funny Piece
A funny plot for a children’s book! A boy finds baby dinosaurs in a fridge and it begins to live with the boy. It makes friends with the boy and they go on an adventure which turns in to a disaster when the parents and the people find out what’s happening! Where did the Dino come from? Will it go back to the Zoo? How is it able to talk? U will find out in the book I am writing. I will post it in the blog soon...…
18. I LOVE MY RAINCOAT-CHILDRENS POEM
I got this published in OPEN SESAME. My first poem which got published was this. I was just delighted!
19. THE DAY AT THE POND-FUNNY POEM
I usually laugh reading this piece. I think you will too! It’s just hilarious!
20. Every Writer Is Superior
I wanted to express my thoughts and feelings in this one as I was discouraged. I wrote them as a moral article….
21. THY ETERNAL LIGHT OF HAPPINESS
Again a spiritual poem I wrote..as usual..with elements like nature and peace and God..please read it..
22. A Happiness Of A Lifetime
Again inspired by an orphanage I wrote this. The first and second paragraph in which Eric thinks that he is going to a place with waterfalls and stuff is pure fiction. He dreams of many beautiful things. But he doesn't know that there is beauty in charity. That is the ultimate Beauty.. Please read it!
