My haiku received Honorable Mention at 2016 International Matsuo Bashō Award. The only feeling that help me to write better each day - not to look back in life. To cover my losses, I have to invest time and efforts. Late but still not too late.
I believe - it is not write for the top journals. But write in such a way that an ordinary journal becomes a top journal. My grandfather told me the mantra of his life - 'one who sleeps for long can never enjoy the first light. To reach at the top, your focus should be only at the peak not the hurdles encountered during the trail walk'. I am sure if he could see me from Heaven - he would not regret anymore. I might not live as I am mortal..but my name will live after me...the best gift for my family, and my loved ones.
