Of endings and beginnings

Yes, it’s been an interesting three weeks and we at First Feather have been overwhelmed by the number of entries that poured in for the ‘INSPIRING WOMEN’ series.  

And yet, we’ve had to select six of the entries that we felt represented women from different walks of life and inspired women to reach out for their dreams in different ways.

We had Paromita Mukherjee’s post on how a distinctive women entrepreneur is born.

Then there was Ullash Kumar’s impassioned post on a woman filmmaker and the trials and tribulations she faces.

Anjana K. Nair introduced us to a woman who creates elegant handbags from bits and pieces of tailoring material.

Prerna Uppal took us on a journey with two travelers who had transformed their passion into an online resource for Indian travelers who were heading to Europe.

We had multiple responses to Arushi Jindal’s post about an RJ who hosts a show on women and multi-tasks as a model.

And then we had Mira Pawar’s entry on a woman who had chosen to run an automobile garage over her previous life as a realtor.

Six entries that told the stories of seven inspiring women.

We are privileged to have been able to feature these posts on THE THINKING CAP.

At this point, we also want to say that we did enjoy reading all the entries that came in. While we would have loved to feature all of you, that would not have been fair to these entries that were written with the theme so clearly in mind.

Now don’t keep away your pens and papers or even delete that word document just yet, as we do have a new theme coming up for you!

This time around we are celebrating simple ideas and innovation and the theme is

‘Now, why didn’t I think of that?’

The theme is open to interpretation and you can be as creative as you want to be.

Like last time the entries should be within 500-1000 words and 35 of the best entries to the blog will be selected for publication in an e-book that will be released in April 2012.

The last date for submissions for this theme is April 18^th

We’re looking for some jazz, pizzazz and some truly vibrant writing.

Yes, a lot like this feather here!

Team First Feather is waiting to hear from you :)
