Orange Flower Poetry Award 2020 Winner

Happy to announce that I have received the Orange Flower Poetry Award 2020! I came to know of it through the Blogchatter community. A meet and greet in person lunch had helped us bond, and many of us kept in touch after that.

I entered the contest, and a star jury awarded me the prize for poetry this year! I didn’t know I would win beforehand, but I couldn’t have attended the award ceremony in Mumbai anyway, with the tiny twins in tow.

My award and certificate arrived later by post. Here I am, posing with my trophy, which occupies pride of place on my side table now.

Here’s my winning poem, Mrs. Pandava.
