I'm back!(and smiling)... and with an acceptance!!

I'm still at home, writing, enjoying jackfruit that grows in our own house, and sleeping till late morning(of course, I miss staying up late like I did in my hostel.)

I'm a graduate now. :) Yes, officially an engineer, and it has been quite an amazing and satisfying college experience for me. I got a 9.18 in my last semester, my highest, and an overall point of 8.39. Now, I have my fingers crossed(in my mind) as I wait to receive my offer letter that will officially start my career.

Looking back, I do feel rather grown up- having finished school and college. Looking forward, however, I still feel so young, with so many things yet to be accomplished.

In the past few weeks, I've received rejections again. It does indeed take a lot of patience, being a writer, and having a skin from which rejections bounce of is a must(of course, after it soaks up the useful criticism rejection letters offer sometimes).

That said, I had another story accepted today, by Daily Science Fiction. It is my first acceptance from a professional market, and I' really, really, really happy. It makes me think that my writing has indeed got something in it, although I hope to keep on improving.

How's everyone doing lately?

Love,
Tamoha.

P.S. I may soon post a review of my favorite anime, Fantastic Children. My hands are itching to type it, but well, I'd hold it off till...well, soon.

The Rio Olympics...where Indian women shone bright and made us proud :)

This year's Olympics is over, and for the Indians, this Olympics belonged to the women. P.V.Sindhu created history by winning silver at the Badminton Women's Singles. She is the only Indian women to have earned a silver. A laudable achievement indeed, that too at the age of 21. Then there's Sakshi Malik, winning a bronze in wrestling. She's 23, and from Haryana, where you have the lowest sex ration in India. Breaking stereotypes and defying all comments and snide remarks, she's gone on to achieve her dreams, and make India proud in front of the whole world. There's also Dipa Karmakar, 23, who's wowed the entire nation by her skills as a gymnast. She may not have won a medal, but her performance has been stunning. She is also only the fifth woman in the history of gymnastics, who has successfully completed the Produnova Vault. There's also Lalita Babar, rising from a drought affected area and Aditi Ashok, at a mere 18 years of age, who've done
