    My heartfelt Congratulations to the winners of the Micro story writing contest. A good contest and the participation is also reasonably good. All three winning entries are very well conceived and deserve the prizes. I hope and wish that all the winners will continue their good work and win many more awards in the coming days.

    My heartiest congratulations to the winners of the story writing contest. The winners proceeded with well knit plots making their stories unique. Creation of micro stories need better concentration and planning.
    Hope they would contribute in the similar ways in the next time provided opportunities exist.
    Very well done!

    There was a good response to this contest and many people contributed micro-stories. Some of the stories were very interesting and entertaining.
    I found this contest very creative and interesting and I congratulate all the winners and wish them more such accolades in the future. Well done members and all the best.

    I congratulate Vandana Madam for winning the first prize in this contest. However, I feel that her second story was much more impactful than the prize-winning one.
    I also congratulate Bhavani Madam for her good story on eco-friendly movement of young Krutharth.
    So far as I am concerned, I thought that my untitled third story created more impact. But, I accept the decision of the judges (and juries) with all humility.
    I also appreciate the efforts of other contestants. They have also competed with zeal and competitive spirit.

    Congratulations Vandana ma'am, Partha and Bhavani for your awards in the contest that was dotted with many interesting micro-stories and it's really fascinating to see entries from members who are not so regular contributors. Hope they will contribute regularly and participate in various other contests in the days to come.

    A good show from you all and do keep it up!

    I am cheerful that my micro story has been listed as one of the second best in the contest and it gives immense pleasure and inspiration to me as I have been back to ISC after quite a long break. I appreciate the Juries choosing my entry for a reward and giving me the opportunity once again to prove my passion for writing.

    I congratulate the other winners, Vandana Madam, Partha and appreciate the efforts of other participants with pretty good plots as well.

    Hoping more contests to get participated.

    Mustard is small in size but the stuff is strong. Like this micro story written by winning friends are worth reading. Congratulations to the winners.

    Totally delighted to have won the first prize in this contest. Thank you, jury members, for the selection. It is not easy for someone who loves writing reams to condense content to a minimum required level and this was a great opportunity to have a go at it once again. Congratulations to Partha K and to Bhavani for bagging the other prizes. Well done!

    I recall we have had similar microstory contests (I think editor Jagdish first came up with the idea to organize it here) and always got an enthusiastic response. In fact, for this one we got 14 to 15 members participating, so, contrary to what Saji Ganesh said, it is a good participation and we thank members for enlivening it.

    Once again I would like to welcome back Bhavani - and for getting back to winning ways!
