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 ?

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 ?
