This is interesting, but too bad I have zero knowledge on this theme

The link to join the private forum is for anyone who wants to have non-zero knowledge of Mahābhārata. You don't have to write Nano Drama and Nano Tale entries in the contest, but you can read them if you wish.

Thanks for the tag. I have sent a request to join the forumn

About the contest could you help with some doubts?


1) What exactly is nano drama and nano tale. How are they different from each other ?


2) Does the nano tale have to be in continuation with nano drama or they can be two completely different stories ?


3) What about the language to be used ? Does it have to be purely english or can it be a mix of english and some hindi/sanskrit words ?


4) How many entries can each person submit ?

Replies in green. Quantum-Dot is organizing the contest and I am only participating, so my answers aren't official.

Nano Drama = a play or scene (dialogues, speaker names, actions, setting) all within 50 words

Nano Tale = a story or narrative (sentences, feelings) within 15 words


2) Does the nano tale have to be in continuation with nano drama or they can be two completely different stories ?

Voters will not know who wrote which entry, so they can't evaluate any two entries as a continuous story. Each Nano Drama and each Nano Tale should stand alone.


3) What about the language to be used ? Does it have to be purely english or can it be a mix of english and some hindi/sanskrit words ?

Voters may not understand Saṃskṛta. Or Hindi. Or English. Use whatever words make your writing most clear.


4) How many entries can each person submit ?

You can write any number of Nano Dramas and any number of Nano Tales.

Is there a sample nano drama from any previous contest or thread that I can refer?

Also should we give a title to the nano drama/ tale . Will that be included in 50 words word limit ?
