Get in the Ring

The Outlook-Picador Non-Fiction Competition, 2004
"This time, the topic is ‘Journeys’. It could be a journey you made—on the road, on a train, by plane or boat, or just in your head. You can, for instance, give vent to your ire at the loss of the Railways’ steel thalis, speak out against the public address systems, confess to sins committed in unlikely places or describe the surf at Goa. We will accept essays but we strongly encourage you to also tell us how your piece could evolve into a book. Pieces must be limited to 5,000 words. Closing date for entries is November 30, 2004. The prizes will be presented in February 2005."
Sins committed in unlikely places? Hmm. We've got a lot of those. Including one that involves steel thalis, a train and pa systems. But no surf.
