Dear Writers,

Happy Diwali. There are special Diwali wallpapers in the store. Do check.

1. Word of the day is LIGHT. Write an original story or poem or one-liner with the word and create something good.

2. Free Writing Challenge: Wherever you are, just stop doing whatever you're doing and start observing what's around you. Write about it. The surroundings. The colors that you see. The objects, how they appear. People, if any. How do you know them. Talk about ordinary things. Like if your phone has a lamination or not. When did you get it? Does it have cracks or scratches? How much do you care about it? Write about everything around you.
