Annual Short Story Writing Competition 2012



In August this year, Hope Library organized an inter  school Annual Short Story Competition. The dates fixed were between the first and the last Friday of August. We  thought that any creative process should not be rushed through harsh deadlines. So we ensured ample of time for school children to lay back, think and write their best.

We received an overwhelming response, and it was no easy task to judge the best entry.

The chief objective of setting up this competition was to create a platform for budding writers to showcase their talent. The entries were judged on four broad parameters. Originality, presentation, vocabulary and freshness of content.  It is on the basis of this criteria we concluded our decision on the winner of this competition.

Simranjeet Kaur's  The Car Accident is this year's winner of our Short Story Competition. She is from Guru Nanak International School, B.R.S. Nagar, Ludhiana

Kritika from Sacred Heart Convent School, Sarabha Nagar has bagged the second position.

At the third place is Kashish Batra from Sacred Heart Convent School, B.R.S. Nagar, Ludhiana.

I would like to congratulate all the winners on behalf our team at Hope Library.  The winning entries will be posted at this blog along with other notable entries.

We also, analyzed all our favorite entries further to judge which school sent us the best entries.  Guru Nanak International Public School, BRS Nagar, Ludhiana came out to be the clear winner, with some amazing stories by its students.

To compete is a glory in itself, even if you are not the winner. To appreciate the original entries sent to us by students, we would be sending certificate of participation to their respective schools. We would also be extending a special discount of 25 percent on all our library services for participating students.

We would also like to place on record, our thanks to Sigma Agro Industries Private Limited for providing us with print support for this competition.

Looking forward for your participation the next edition of Annual Short Story Competition

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind...   Anyway, let us look at some facts -  Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Si

Well still..just give it a read :) For the first time when she came in I knew she is going to be one of my best pals. she was bubbly chirpy sociable and a caring human being.she was I felt my true copy. But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth. As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought would come out of our mind. And I thought I understood her as I thought she was me. Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritat
