Hey, fellas! We are back with the results of the contest - in record time, if I may add! π₯³
Firstly, I'd like to thank all of you for participating so enthusiastically and giving our judges such a tough time π To work within a certain framework and put your precious work out there to be judged anonymously takes a lot of courage, and I applaud all the participants for their fire and sheer love for writing. Whatever the results may be, please carry the same zeal in all your stories as they are worth much more than a contest.
I would also like to thank the wonderful judges of Barso Re - tournesol and Viswasruti. They were my backstage cheerleaders and worked tirelessly to get the results out faster. Moreover, they truly cared about the stories and gave their full attention to the tiny, special details in each one.
We received so many amazing entries that it was difficult to choose just a couple of winners. So, to honor some fabulous entries, we present to you

It Hurts Like Hell by WildestDreams
"Beautifully written. Some of the descriptions in the story have a very deep philosophical meaning."
"The author of this narrative did a wonderful job of conveying all the tragedy and sad circumstances in a suggestive way, without providing a distinct picture. This gave the theme a dignity that was well appreciated."

Love Conquers All by oye_nakhrewaali
"Loved Savitri's characterization in the story, how she is a strong, loving and determined woman right from the start. She is the driving force of the entire story and rightfully so."
"This is the best story that has ever been written without any doubt! The writer has displayed exceptional maturity as an author as well as a lady while defining the true feelings of a princess while in love and in distress, by choosing apt words and phraseology to give a death theme a new life."
