Wonderful News!

I never dreamed that my love for birds would inspire me to write a short story, and that too one that would bag an award.
Out of Print, the prestigious online literary magazine, partners with the newspaper, DNA India, to host this competition every year.
My short story 'Monotony of Hornbills' won the First Runner-up prize in the DNA- Out of Print Short Fiction Special 2017. The prize money of ten thousand rupees is the highest amount I've earned for a short story.

You can read it here in the e-paper here and also in the print edition (Just Before Monday 17/12/17):
