Thank you for the follow! Hope you're having a great day  :)

Somehow, what started as “too much free time” turned into six different identities and a whole universe of stories on Wattpad. And somewhere along that journey, something truly special happened.
          
          I recently participated in the “Inked and Unwritten” Awards hosted by @Ashes51 — and walked away with not one, not two, but four wins across different categories.
          
          Two awards were for They Came to Baghdad, including Best Romance and Comfort Read.
          Jab Harry Killed Sejal took home Best Overall Story.
          And Ohhh… (Int.) I Still Don’t Get It claimed a spot in a wonderfully chaotic category I clearly adored… even if I can’t seem to remember its exact name (some things never change).
          
          Winning across four categories, in a single awards event, across multiple profiles — it feels surreal.
          
          For anyone curious:
          They Came to Baghdad is now available as a paperback, hardcover, and Kindle edition on Amazon, while also being free to read on Wattpad and Inkitt.
          Jab Harry Killed Sejal is available exclusively on Wattpad (@dudaninayana), free to read.
          Ohhh… (Int.) I Still Don’t Get It lives on @whysomayuri — again, free to read.
          
          And through all of this, I remain deeply grateful to @Ashes51 for creating a space where stories like mine could be seen, read, and celebrated.
          
          Sometimes, six accounts and a restless mind really do pay off.

To everyone who participated in the Flamingo Awards,
          
          The Flamingo Awards have now been cancelled for the time being. Please don’t worry — this was never a publicity stunt or an attempt to increase follower counts. The truth is simply that I ran into management difficulties. This was my first time hosting something like this, and I realised I wasn’t able to handle it the way it deserved.
          
          I had previously announced that the awards were postponed and later cancelled. As of now, they have also been officially removed from my page, so you won’t find them there anymore.
          
          I sincerely apologise to all the participants and truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm.
          
          The Flamingo Awards will be reintroduced in the future with better management. When that happens, there will be compensation and a re-welcome gift for everyone who participated previously, along with a welcome gift for new participants.
          
          Thank you for your patience and understanding. And once again, I’m sorry and grateful to all of you.

After graduating, I experienced a major shift in how writing functions in the real world. In school, writing always had a guaranteed audience — teachers were paid to read and evaluate it. Outside academic settings, however, I learned that attention must be earned rather than assumed.
          Since graduation, I have written over thirty stories on Wattpad and received almost no engagement. This experience taught me that writing quality alone does not guarantee readership; visibility, relevance, and reader interest play equally important roles. I also faced contrasting experiences with research papers — one submission was rejected despite significant effort, while another was accepted and published elsewhere. These situations showed me that writing success often depends on context and audience fit, not just the work itself.
          As a result, my approach to writing has shifted. I now think more about the reader’s perspective, clarity, and purpose rather than simply expressing ideas. I have also become more resilient, understanding that lack of immediate response does not necessarily reflect the value of the work.
          Overall, transitioning from a captive academic audience to voluntary readers has made me more aware of the realities of attention, audience needs, and the importance of persistence in writing.

I participated in the Ambys last year. Two of my entries were rejected after the second round, while two others made it to the third round but were eventually not selected for the Grand Favorites.
          
          At present, I have six profiles on Wattpad, though only three of them are active.
          
          I am also currently withdrawing my Flamingo Awards due to management issues, though I plan to reintroduce them later.
          
          As for the Ambys this year, I’m honestly unsure which books I should submit.
