Angela Braru,  Anjali Yadav and Annesha Das Roy of class XI of Ryan International School, Sohna Road, Gurgaon made it to the second level of the event and were selected for fiction and poetry categories respectively. On the first day, the concept of katha initiative was discussed among all the participating schools, after which we were divided into groups and allotted seperate rooms. Each group was led by the respective mentor. The common topic for the workshop was the Regional Diversity Of India. The students were supposed to submit their piece of writing for the final evaluation, in which 150-200 entries would be selected for the final round that will be held in December 2015. Following this, many activities were conducted by the mentors. The aim of the activities was to polish our writing skills and to overcome all the hurdles faced by the writers. The event was wrapped up by the closing ceremony and felicitation of all the participants. All in all, it was an extremely overwhelming experience. We all are looking forward to the final round of this successful initiative.
