It was last year that I discovered that there is something called A-Z April Challenge. I got pretty excited and began blogging alternate healing therapies from A-Z. Sadly, my mother fell ill and I took off to my hometown. Her passing away on April 14, 2014 brought my Blogging Challenge to a full stop.
This year, with my parents’ blessings (I know Amma-Appa that you are watching me from up there), I am planning to take up the A-Z April Challenge 2015. I am confident that I will complete it as I have already begun planning it a month ago.

| A-Z April Challenge 2015 |
India is rich in culture, tradition and mythology. Folk lore prevails in abundance. I would say that India is the land of Vedas; Puranas; Itihasas; Gandharvas; Yakshas; and no less than 33 crore Gods & Goddesses. I am hoping to tap all that rich heritage and come up with mythological short stories based on them. If I run short of characters from Indian mythology, I plan to borrow from other countries as well as from Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
And I plan to visit a minimum of 10 blogs participating in the challenge this year. Hope to meet a lot of bloggers and make new friends around the globe!
Thats brilliant indeed...looking forward to your reads. All the best :)

ReplyDeleteFascinating theme. Not easy, but I'm sure you're up to the task. Your short story in "Matches Made in Heaven" gave me a good taste. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Devika! I am glad you liked LOVE MATCH FOR VELAN. Of course, the ones for this challenge will be short. Hope I am able to do justice to them. :D
ReplyDeleteInteresting choie for a theme! Looking forward to your posts.

A great theme. Mythology is a treasure trove, u can keep digging in. I started a similar one on characters of Mahabharatha long back but couldnt find enough motivation to take it further!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by John Holton :)

Thank you Inderpreet. Yeah, they definitely are. And I am glad you liked Velan story. Though these are going to be rather brief ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are part of this Sundari. And equally looking forward to read your mesmerizing tales..
ReplyDeleteThank you Rubina. Hope my tales live up to all your expectations :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to it. It is a theme that i briefly pondered upon last year, but soon gave up and took up something far more simpler when I realized my grip on indian mythology was not as strong as i thought it was.
ReplyDeleteI will stop by to read yours.
Thank you so much Jayanthi for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. I hope you like reading my posts. I agree with you that it's not easy. I started preparing from beginning of February and still not fully ready :)
