Come Play with the Achilles's Heel....
Hello all ma Friendz, Friend ‘niz’ and Not-so-Friendz of SUL…
First of all I would like to thank my heart out to the vibrant REFFY sweets, my Buddy DP and above all the lively YASH Jee… for making me the winner of contest # 17 and giving me this wonderfull opportunity to host this one… Feels like winning the Oscars…lol 
Yash Jee its succhan amazing series you have started
… I guess we will be having big celebrations wen the series hits 100…
This contest has an essence of its own…whenever you see the contest on air…your mind starts to race..as the screen shows…opening page.********…whats’s gonna be the pics like…n all… what can I write..etc..etc…This contest got two of my poems featured..so what can make one happier more for his works… :))
Hosting one is a rilly tough job… made me go bonkers till late night (being an Insomniac helped here..lol) on looking for mind shattering pics…till I landed on these… But this was fun and I enjoyed it sooo mucchhhhh… wanted to do one from succha long time…
So folks here I am with ma set of Pics… and hope they make you scratch your heads
.. hehe… 
I will enjoy it… adding on them there’s a new rule (JUST ONLY FOR THIS CONTEST)… to make this challenge more challenge…
The Theme of this week’s Contest is…
OPTIMISM IN SHADOWS
(To see how much we see positive signs even through dark images and make choose the GOOD outta and from the BAD)
You can write a poem or a story inspired by the above two pictures. Also, I was asked to specially mention that Bloggers who blog in Hindi can and should submit their creative pieces. I am pretty okay in hindi...:)))
Another important piece of information, verbatim is – ‘Every entry should be submitted in the comments section of this blog post to make it eligible for the contest.’
THE RULES:
(Copied from Dream Pedlar’s Blog)
- Let your thoughts flow in a gush till
Let the image guide but not confine your imagination.
Noww…Guys… what I want you all to do is YOU WILL NOT WRITE A DARK OR BLACK Matter on the Pics…The images gives such dark, freaky and scary vibes…so the challenge is you gotta write some Non-Darkkyy stuffs…with a positive message…just as my Theme speaks. So No Devilish stuffs… I gotta enjoy this…
- Time and space mandate that your expressions should not be in excess of 500 words.
- Upon conclusion, we would have identified the next person to run the show for another week. And, believe me! That is an exhilarating feeling. You will know it when you scour for images in your mind
- Let’s be sensitive to the public forum and refrain from putting up vulgar posts.
- Let’s maintain originality, in English.
- If inspiration guides you to post multiple creative works, there are no limits on expressions. For the sake of the contest, however, only your first among multiple entries will be considered.
