Phew - Good Updates !!

It has been a crazy week after a happy weekend!

Firstly - as I love children so I attended a charitable event at a school in Bengaluru. My husband and I were thinking of the same thought when the principal asked me - if I could conduct English classes for the children. This school is funded by a Christian Missionary, and they would love to have me on the board of volunteers. There was no reason to say - 'NO'. God is great!!

I am packed with lot of work. I am cooking all three meals. I am preparing for World Peace Day Marathon (doing 25 kms daily). I am also working on Author's United Welfare Wing (Btw, wait I have a good news to share around my success story of Author's United)....few days from now. Not to forget I have enrolled for a course starting 4th Sept to enhance my writing skills. Phew!! I feel to run away....:)

In the evening - I received my certificate of 'Fifth Honorable Mention'. So another reason to be happy. But recognition and passion demands time. I have been busy with submitting my work to different journals for Haiku, Tanka, Senryu and Haiga. I am glad my work is accepted for most of them, and two of my editors have given an inspiring feedback.
