First Prize at Fresher's Night 2015 at IITK
Posted on August 9, 2015
Won the first prize for creative writing competition held during the Fresher’s Night at IIT Kanpur. The problem statement was to write a six line, 20 syllable poem with a syllable count by line of 1/1/2/3/5/8 - also called a fibo, on the topic of monsoon rains. Though I had never attempted writing a fibo before, I managed to get the first prize :) The entries I sent were :
tip
tap
rain falls
petrichor
overwhelms senses
refreshes body, mind and soul
आज
फिर
हुई
तेज़ बारिश
पकोड़े छने
कागज़ की कश्तियाँ चलीं
