There are moments in life when recognition doesn’t just touch the name — it reaches the soul. When you pour years into words, nurture thoughts like seeds, and share them hoping they might touch another heart — a simple acknowledgment becomes something profound. Recognition, after all, is not about pride; it is about connection — the quiet echo that tells you your voice was heard somewhere in the world.
I feel deeply grateful to share that I have been selected as one of the winners of the prestigious Sahitya Sparsh Awards 2026, one of Asia’s most esteemed literary honours. The award, which will be officially conferred in January 2026, celebrates creativity and the enduring spirit of literature. It is a humbling reminder that stories — when written with truth — travel far beyond borders and time.
Thank you to every reader who believed, shared, and stayed. This recognition belongs as much to you as it does to me.
