♥ 500 ♥

500th post. It sounds like a dream, and yes, it is a dream!

The dream of a writer, who dedicates his words to someone special in his life, and lives in those words.

The journey, so far, is a mix of ups and downs, smiles and tears, learnings and mistakes, love and hurt, and what not... still it is a sweet one. Few Miles – the best part of me – may not be the best written blogs on blog-o-sphere, but of this, I’m sure: the words are from my sweet little heart. It must have touched the heart of the readers and made them feel good, and to me, this has always been enough.

Today, I’m happy because of many reasons. In fact, I would like to list them:

1. My wife is feeling better now. She is back to Germany, and we celebrated our second anniversary, last Sunday.
2. “I’m all yours”, short story co-authored with Simran Kaur of My Friendship, is getting published in the book “A Little Chorus of Love”. This is my 6th book as a contributing author.
3. Few Miles turned five. My friends and I celebrated it in a special way on my blog.
4. And this is my special 500th blog post.

When I’m happy, I want everyone to be happy. Are you ready to be happy?

! The Haiku Challenge 2012 ~ Winners & Highlights !

PS: ! THIS EVENT REPEATS EVERY YEAR AND I HOPE TO SEE THE SAME SUPPORT EVERY YEAR !

What is Haiku Challenge?
The Haiku Challenge is a Haiku writing challenge that runs in the month of February every year. Write a Haiku or set of Haiku every day and share them in the linky tool to enjoy the words.

How it began?
As February being the month of love, I decided myself to express my love for Haiku, after penning down close to one hundred Haiku the love for it has become immeasurable and that made me throw a Challenge to myself, ‘The Haiku Challenge!’ in 2011.

The Journey...!
The Haiku challenge began it’s journey in February 2011, a sweet journey and aw, my sweet child is aging two now. I consider the journey as a sweet achievement as it helped to discover talents, and helped me to find some pearls.

To know about the first edition of Haiku Challenge, Winners and to read participation entries stop by here. To read the kickoff post, and prompts given in this edition stop here. To read the participation entries stop here.

Summary...!
I thought it was my dream when reading you but now I realize that it happened in real while drafting this. It was fun, 29 days of fun with Haiku, exploration of different signatures of Haiku (Haiga, Acrostic Haiku, Pi-Ku, Naisaiku and Haibun). I hope you enjoyed writing for the challenge as much as I did when hosting the challenge, if not then I should call it as Failure of Haiku Challenge and not Success!

In this edition, 45 of you registered for the challenge, 54 challenged, 22 of you completed the challenging challenge colourfully and made this challenge a grand success! Three Cheers to all!!! Thank you!

I love numbers and I’ve been known to cherish stats a lot. In this edition, we had 29 days, 28 challenging themes, 7 different forms, and the poets kick started the challenge expressing their love for words. In all, we read 54 poets, 1001 entries ~ (1706 Haiku); that’s an average of 35 entries (59 Haiku) each day. The minimum entry was 29 entries on Day 25, 26 & 27 and the maximum entry was 41 entries on Day 1, 2 and 9. Considering the count of Haiku, the least was 34 on Day 7 and the maximum entry was 108 on Day 23.

I must thank everyone for adding smile to my heart! Now, it is my turn to return the favours by crowning ‘KING OF HAIKU’, ‘QUEEN OF HAIKU’, ‘STAR NEWBIE OF THE CHALLENGE’, ‘CHEERFUL CHALLENGER’, ‘FAVOURITE CHALLENGER’, ‘FIRST SWEET CHALLENGER’ and ‘LAST SWEET CHALLENGER’.

Thanks for making my job easier with your precious votes. Here we go...
