Not unleashed till that time....


It was when I was in 6th standard. There was a a literary competition. I love to participate, not sure as what to do.Options were 1.poetry 2.Article.

I opted for poetry and wondering for the title and finally I got one and started to write. Then has come the moment where our miss would check the work we did and send to to a magazine to publish.

She checked mine and asked me to correct few lines.

Few days passed and heard a news from one of the student heyyyy your poem is on the top of the magazine. I was overwhelmed and took the magazine into my hands and could not believe my eyes. It was mentioned as "well versed" and my poem was printed below it.....And I give the entire credit to my teacher who has corrected my lines...
