When a publisher says yes and accepts your work in their journal, without knowing you, you know you stand out from the slush pile, from the hundreds of entries they are reading and 99% of the time they are rejecting work. So it’s a victory. . . a small humble feat I haven’t pursued or felt in years. . . and here, on the day after the 10th day of Navartri, when our Hindu brothers and sisters all over the globe celebrated Vijayadasami, a day of triumph, where good conquers evil. May I be bold enough and honor my little win in the name of this day?
