last-ditch effort to get what he wants. This is the story climax. What is your
character's final plan? What happens? Write the story.
Rosanna had magic in her legs. She had
learnt ballet dancing ever since she was 6. It was always her dream to become
the world’s finest dancer and yes famous too! How dainty she would look when
she would wear those cute little Pointe
shoes and that lovely pristine white classical Tutu skirt! There would not be
a single day when she would miss her practice.
Rosanna’s
best friend was Svetlana who stayed next door. It was almost as if they had
grown up together. More than just friends they were true soul sisters. Svetlana
was also into ballet dancing and actually speaking, both these girls were a
huge competitor to each other.
It was just
week before that Rosanna had celebrated her 18th birthday and was
anxious as she would be stepping in to adulthood. After a regular ballet
session, Ms. Wilma Whyte, the ballet
mistress waited to announce the names of the two lucky students who would
be performing at the prestigious International
Ballet Competition held at Bolshoi. This competition would be held once in
four years and getting selected to perform on such a huge stage was once in a
lifetime event!
The class dropped into complete silence and the moment of
truth had arrived. She proudly called out the names of Svetlana and Carlos.
While they could not believe their ears, and couldn’t stop themselves from
thanking the ballet mistress, for Rosanna the world had come to a standstill.
Her heart broke into a thousand pieces; all her dreams were shattered in a
second. She was spellbound and returned home all alone.
In a second, Rosanna’s beautiful world had turned into a dark
nightmare! She started distancing herself from everyone and especially her
friend Svetlana. The once, generous and kind Rosanna had turned into a
different leaf – full of greed, sloth, envy and wrath. She felt so desperate of
missing that one chance to be at the centrestage of the world. She could not
tolerate that her friend had been selected but not her. She started plotting
ideas so that she could somehow stop Svetlana from performing at Bolshoi.
One a Sunday afternoon, Rosanna invited Svetlana over for
brunch and tried to poison her. But, as fortune would have it another way, a
little cat got poisoned instead! Svetlana learnt about her best friend’s cruel
intentions and got cautious. She also tried to be away from her and refused to
heed to all her concerns.
Rosanna just didn’t want to give up. She went to
Svetlana’s home and pretended to be kind and asked her to forgive her. Just
then, at her home, in Svetlana’s room, Rosanna found a personal diary written
by Svetlana. She immediately grabbed it and stole it. Again back home, she
started reading it. Tears started rolling down her eyes for she realized that
the diary contained numerous memories of the time both of them had spent. She rose
and decided not to succumb to any more evil desires against her dear friend.
The very next day at the ballet class, Rosanna decided to
ignore all the damage that has been done and decided to work hard and put in her best
effort. She fastened her Pointe shoes and
geared herself up. The ballet mistress noticed this and encouraged her to practice more. Ms. Whyte being a perfectionist never
said a “good job” to Rosanna ever; reason – she always believed that there are
no two words in the English language more harmful than “good job”. She didn’t
want Rosanna to become complacent.
Each day at practice, Rosanna put in her very best. Svetlana
also extended her full support and confidence to her. On one such day, while
practicing the allegro, she
experienced severe injury to her ankle. She cried in immense pain, but did not
want to give up. She rose, gathered herself and continued dancing. Every member
of the class could feel the excruciating pain that Rosanna suffered.
Days passed and she recovered quickly. With each passing
day, Rosanna learnt the fine art of doing a graceful Grande Jeté, Pirouette and Arabesque. Gradually, but eventually she became the most loved and
adored ballerina of the entire class.
The younger kids would look up to her for her outstanding performance.
In the meanwhile, Carlos who was supposed to join
Svetlana for the prestigious event was found drowned into drugs. The Ballet mistress admonished his behavior
and decided to cancel his ballet competition participation. She already had a
clear participant in her mind to replace Carlos; none other than Rosanna. She was
finally able to make her dream come true; not by cheating or by using cruel or
dangerous methods, but by sheer hard work, trust and friendship. They now start to rehearse to perform a Pas de deux at the International Ballet Competition.

Sample article for www.strandofsilk.com - Amazon India Fashion Week
Topic - Amazon India Fashion Week 2015.
The most historic event in the Indian
fashion scene came alive as people witnessed an event that is perhaps going to
change the way people associate themselves with fashion. FDCI (Fashion Design
Council of India) in alliance with Amazon India presented the Amazon India Fashion
week 2015.
A new epoch for designers in India is all
set with this event of Amazon India Fashion week which was a brilliant blend of
new designs, models, choreography and ideas. “Fashion” which was meant only for
the elite, perhaps a decade before, is now made available for all kinds of
customers who have a distinct taste in fashion, yet the reach was lacking.
According to some designers, there is a
good demand for designer clothes and is now well accepted and appreciated by
all segments of the society – be it a Mehndi,
Sangeet, the wedding reception or
even while tying the holy knot.
The event highlighted the collections of
various designers from across India who would also get a chance to sell their products
online through Amazon. With the number of online shoppers increasing by the
day, designers like Tarun Tahiliani feel that fashion would be now accessible
even in smaller towns. Selling designer stuff online also reduces the chances
of duplicate or imitation of the original as it is certified pure by Amazon and
it restores the belief of the customers in the designer products.
This event focused on bridging the gap between the fashion availability
in cities and the towns. Selling the exclusive products online helps the
designers to tackle to problem of penetration and serving each kind of market
demands.
The grand sizzling event was spread across five days at Pragati
Maidan, New Delhi. The 25th
edition of the India Fashion Week showcased the various new talents and their
creativity. An event of a kind which concluded with 50 brilliant designs
by the 25 star designers of India including Tarun Tahiliani, Sabyasachi, Rohit Bal and Manish Malhotra who
came together to put up an unforgettable and a historic fashion show. The show comprised of a blend of
Indo-Western clothes showcasing the gradual variation of different shades of
reds.
The audience was
swept off by their feet and could not stop themselves from giving a standing
ovation to all the Star designers who walked down the ramp as the show
concluded.

ü I chose to design this particular theme as it
is appealing to me – it is colorful and makes me curious as the prints appear
on the droplets. The girl looks cheerful and ready to catch these printed
droplets – shows that it is a welcome change. Also as I talk about the seasons,
a rain is a welcome change during the hot summer months. The picture also shows
a variety of prints and colors which also indicate that the product listing is
good and big – as a serious online shopper would love to scout for more and
more options before he/she can make the final purchase.
ü For a new or a first time shopper, mentioning
styles like – bohemian, geometric, digital or floral may arouse curiosity and
