Finally, I gathered enough courage to participate in a competition held by a group called "S7 Poetry". They regularly hold competitions for poetry in English and Hindi languages. I sent in one of my poems "Conversations with Nature" and was pleasantly surprised to see it reach the top 100 poems in its 15th Edition. This is even more special for the poets as S7 is reputed to be a leading platform in this field according to Google Analytics.
My other poem "My Wife and My Mistress" got published as part of an anthology "Emotional Canvas" by Hatchegg Publications. I got the author's copies along with a certificate and a medal today.
Nice feeling. :-)
