I wonnnnnnnn...four anthology competitions in a row....all by Author Sufia Khatoon



I closed my eyes and made a wish
...I can write but can I twist? 
I soon realized I had a star, a magical wand to take me far....
My pen so bold kept haunting my soul, Write till you are no more.....
together we set on a journey far.......
so many stories to tell, so many experiences to share....
a touch of fancy is what it took.....and then came the words like a shooting star....
flowing away like that beautiful blue bird......
"Come, here me sing oh mortals!"it said
For our adventures had a great start.......
My Passion soaring high, My eyes weaving again that wonderful dream
To be that star, to be that glow, to shine..........

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii good morning...I mean this is great, I open my eyes and see what...that I made it to the Teenlife short story writing competition of Grapevine publication..yes you heard me right...Nikita Singh, Durjoy Dutta and other writers emerged from here....
I won the God so awesome...Grapevine India Teenlife contest......finally a hope I have seen for myself and know that I choose right...that I was born to express myself...in words and in colours...God has given me so much strength that I have been standing for so long, holding on to my dreams...having my faith not shattered....

The Nameless Artist

The Nameless Artist Here I stand, Here I bow, From Kings and queens to peasants and thieves, None could deny his magical deeds, The Poor and hungry his slaves, Humankind his gift, I stand here, I am through, The light if divinity so pure to know, A touch all it took for me to heal, Born again to live in peace, My world through my colors now one sees. Here is the nameless artist.... The Nameless artist...the words just flew and a string was made...this poem is my dedication to artists like them. This art my friends is called road drawings.We know about 3D road drawings back in the West which is practiced and loved by all, but not this because it is here in India that such art arises out of necessity.This particular man whom I encountered while walking down  had to say many things.What astonished me the most was that he said his art was not for sale when I asked him why he did not paint and sell his works?He said h...

My Small adventure........... there I am with our Phucka in College street Adventure is a big word and for me it means to be able to do what most cannot think off...and in a busy city like Kolkata and a busy life like ours...we forget the small things in live which can become an adventure if we want it to be...most of us would just wait for our friends to make plans for movies or outings in the weakened but I always like to have my small adventure all on my own and absolutely alone....I know its hard to think how can we enjoy alone but believe me for an observer and writer like me its a blessing to be able to go and explore the various parts of the city alone...so I often go on such days and I have planned some more in the future but today I would tell you about my small adventure....I am a great foodie and nothing can match the "Phucka" of Kolkata. I had tried phucka in other cities as well like in Mumbai its called pani puri and usual...

Madari's of Kolkata-  lost life, lost Animals Wherever you go in your city, on the streets you might have encountered the Madaris entertaining the crowds with their highly trained and skilled performers, singing in exuberance and glee. One such performer you wold have often seen sitting pensively on the railings or pavements and chewing the leftovers of the city's amusements, what we were once in our primitive stage, are the monkeys. Like you all, I too love to walk through the busy city road and discover stories on my small journeys. In a suffocating lifestyle, these escape in nature and open air gives me inspiration to look at life and believe in beauty again. On one such expedition, I discovered Md Asgar silently sitting with his monkeys playing under the tree shed in park st and looking at the passer by expectantly. He had the look of a tired man who goes out everyday with the hope of earning something for his family and returning home empty handed. Some of us...
