Acceptance from The Colored Lens Magazine!

Hi Friends, I have good news— “The Houses They Became” has been accepted for publication by The Colored Lens.

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...
