"We've all experienced the first flush of love and remember the lingering fragrance of it. For ages Love has remained one of the most cherished experiences that everyone wishes to live through at least once. " - Love Stories That Touched My Heart


Penguin India had held a contest earlier this year where they asked people to write a heart-warming story of love. It was to be edited by none other than Ravinder Singh, author of one of India's highest selling romance novels ( a.k.a a guy who knows what love is all about ).

Over 2000 authors submitted their visions of love, of which 25 authors were chosen. This anthology of love stories, selected and edited by Ravinder Singh, showcasing all the hues of the strongest emotion we have, releases this week and is available both in stores across India and online as well.
The Facebook page for this book is here.

For me, bringing a smile on a person’s face and making them forget their own worries is the ultimate reward at the end of the day. Professionally, I achieve this by donning a mask every day and working as an anaesthesiologist to relieve physical pain and suffering. On a personal level, I do the same with my words, replacing the mask of an anaesthesiologist with that of a whimsical writer. My name is Dr Roshan Radhakrishnan and welcome to my Godyears.

      Giraffe erotica had my attention as well. That seems to be a very novel idea.
      Congratulations on getting published! How do you come to know of these contests?

      i know, right. how are people not rushig to buy the giraffe erotica rights ??
      And regarding the contests :
      Chicken Soup - was a blogadda contest in 2011, i think. but they allow regular contributions at their site.
      Urban Shots:Bright Lights & this one - both were via contest headlines shared by friends at Facebook.

      By the time I read about the Penguin contest, it was too late. Now the Harper Collins contest is around but I can't get my story together. And I keep a track of Grey Oak as well.
      I know I should have accepted your FB friend request ..let me find you now!! ;)
      P.S. My husband's google account was open and so I posted the above comment from the wrong id.

      In addition to that, as I mentioned above, look for the main site of Chicken Soup and see the topics they have.. it changes regularly so more scope... and you still have time for Harper Collins so dont give up yet.
      As for finding me, check the 'contact me' button on the top..it has my facebook link too

      I still go with my earlier answer - dont see myself being able to do a 60k-70k word novel. Lots of excuses : vocabulary, storyline shortage, time... but in the end, laziness too to attempt :D

      I'm looking forward to finding a publisher sensible enough to pay me a gazillion dollars for that obvious goldmine of a story - the scifi ninja giraffe erotic story.

      And good boy !! You're getting used to it by now.. (hint) save enough money for one more plate before the month is over ;)

      You're absolutely right, of course... I need to release 'Chapter 1 : Kinky Giraffe and Hippo Gal goes to Nasa'.. after that Apna Sapna Money Money !! :)

      Ya, I'm afraid Flipkarts only for India.. not sure about abroad options.
