Valentine’s Day is around the corner. With ‘Love’ as your muse, get featured on our readers’ writing space this month!
February being Cupid’s month, we’ve picked an interesting theme for this month’s As You Write It. From building the Taj Mahal to giving up the throne, people have done various things in the name of love. But we are curious to know, what would you NOT do?
With that in mind, send us your write-up on “I would do anything for love…but I won’t do THAT!” (and of course, you don’t need to take us literally – feel free to take the topic as a starting point and let your imagination run wild).
Where to send: Send in your story to [email protected] with ‘Love Story’ in the subject line, and your story as a word/txt attachment. Do include the name we should use if we publish it, and a brief introduction to yourself (2-3 lines) in the mail.
By when: Please send in your stories by Feb 12th, i.e. this Sunday. The 5 best stories will be published on Women’s Web the following week, i.e. Feb 13th onwards.
Rules:
– The material should be previously unpublished elsewhere. (Copyright stays with you and you’re free to subsequently publish it elsewhere).
– Keep it between 250 and 600 words.
GOODIES!

Falling in love, marriage, a hidden secret, divorce. Despite all this, Vinita noticed her life was full of love that came in various unexpected shades!
“Aap jinke kareeb hotey hain, woh badey kush naseeb hotey hain…”
Just as Vinita was settling down into the cab seat, the driver put on music and the song started to play. It took her back immediately to that evening ten years ago, when Gautam had sung that very same song to her on the first evening they had met. She could remember every single detail of that evening so very clearly.
The driver obliged and immediately stopped the bus for them. Many men got down. They shamelessly lined up just by the side of the bus and peed on the other side of the road.
I work in Pune. My family lives far away from me in a small town along the coast of Konkan. I get to meet them once every fortnight for which I have to take a nine-hour long overnight bus journey.
