Top Tweets for #9ForNavaratri
I love writing challenges like #30Words30Days, #9ForNavaratri, #FuriousFiction and #Ship30For30 because their prompts get my writing going. As do competitions like #NotQuiteWritePrize and #TwistInTheTale.
If you know of any other prompt-driven writing challenges, let me know!
What a fun challenge! Thankyou all for your excellent and unusual #9forNavaratri prompts- it was a pleasure joining in ๐
Missed participating in the challenge:( my phone decided to blink-blank on me!!
Loved writing for some of the #9forNavaratri prompts but absolutely relished reading the stories that were shared in this sacred space. Thank you one and all. ๐
I went back to my first love, #vss & wrote tweet length stories on the prompts for the #9forNavaratri challenge. The prompts were challenging, but I had such a good time that I didn't miss even one prompt.
Thank you @Sudhasubraman for introducing this to me
@pleomorphic2 @NinaMD1 @authorsudha @srilatha91 @Sudhasubraman @SridharViji @AkTalwar1 @whirlwindtots Thank you for the amazing prompts, Team #9forNavaratri and Sumitra.
I finally managed all the prompts. And it was so fun

Even her shadow is cursed, they used to say. So she stopped day outings, became a cat woman, having clandestine outings in the dark, catching perpetrators of women. They don't know anymore, now her shadow is Durga personified. A kaal for the culprits of girls.

The shadows morphed into an image, reminding her of the idol she had prayed to as a child. Slowly, her spine straightened as she wiped the blood from her split lip. It was time to awaken the goddess hidden within and defeat the monster.

Thank you #9forNavaratri team for the prompts! It was such great fun writing those little stories. Please come up with more soon.
@pleomorphic2 @NinaMD1 @authorsudha @srilatha91 @Sudhasubraman @AkTalwar1 @whirlwindtots The lion is a physical representation of her aura, a quiet nod to Narasimha, one of her husbandโs many incarnations. Her fierceness is reflected in the axe and scythe in her hands. She is Ma, Marthini, Jagadamba, goddess supreme. #9fornavaratri
Day 8 #pukka #9forNavaratri
In old movies, men and women were addressed as pukka sahib or memsahib. Indian Ayahs cared for the children day in and day out. My understanding of colonial times was this gentle whitewashing. I later learned that it was not as pukka as I'd thought.
All words have Indic origins. ๐ธ
(The origin of juggernaut was new to me, though. Always love learning new stuff like this!) #9forNavaratri Btdubs, I'm not participating in the extra challenge, just info-dumping. ๐
#9forNavaratri @pleomorphic2 Thanks so much Navaratri team for this interesting writing escapade. Was great fun and learning ๐๐ซถ

She spoke little, smiled and nodded a lot, but under the purr hid a roar, teeth so sharp they could rip you apart. Durga's strength was unmatched for she was mother, daughter, wife, sister, aunt. She was all women.
The decade-long battle is over. On the battlefield, I sit, surrounded by the remains of the war I waged: blistering wounds, empty baby cot, and my tattered soul. When Iโm ready to bury them all, I know, Sheโll come, slicing through the darkness, to free me. #9forNavaratri
@pleomorphic2 @NinaMD1 @authorsudha @srilatha91 @Sudhasubraman @SridharViji @AkTalwar1 @whirlwindtots Thank you for #9forNavaratri. I had a whale of a time wrestling with the word limit and thinking of the prompts in between all my chores. Enjoyed reading all the responses and marvelled at how the same prompt elicited such diverse responses. Thank you all. ๐
You will have to cook, clean, care for the children and old parents, climb the corporate ladder, and care for your physical and mental health.
What do you mean you are just a woman and not Durga who can do this and more? Didn't I place you on the pedestal? #9forNavaratri
Donโt buy this house, they said. Itโs haunted.
She bought it anyway & on the first night, she had a visitor.
A shadowy apparition. โWelcome to your new home.โ
She thanked her.
โNo, thank YOU. Live happily in my home, now I can leave, knowing it is in good hands.โ #9forNavaratri
Far away from Dussera lights,where nights welcome the strangers,somehow she escaped. Keeping the tiny flesh in the dustbin,she prayed, "Ma,please save my daughter."As she turned back,a woman sitting on the lion,holding weapons in hands, arrived from the dark.

โLooks like a loo bowl.โ Conor commented when I showed my class a diya during our RE lesson.
โWas your Durga around when they put Jesus on the cross?โ He asked at recess. โHe couldโve borrowed one-o-them weapons.โ Typical Conor logicโa spectrum of possibilities. #9forNavaratri
Mother had said he had to show he was boss.Every day.He scanned the house: spotless,kids at their desks doing homework,coffee & bajji perfect.He looked into the waste bin.Too-thick potato peels.He loosened his belt,but seeing her shadow on the wall,lost his balls.#9forNavaratri
