A brief:
Where do I start?
Well…I have never, even in my dreams ever wrote a word to get awards of any sorts...this is not why I write for; I write to reach the hearts of the readers through my voice i.e. my writing and I believe if I can touch even a single heart and change their life as such evade them from suffering my work is done.
Getting appreciated and Nominated up for an award is only a glimpse of reaching out to people and I hope one day my dreams would come true.
