I have something very exciting to tell you. I have won the first prize in All Delhi Drawing Competition organised by the Delhi Art and Craft Society. The competition was very tough with a hundred participants, but the judges were unanimous in selecting my drawing for the first prize.
As you know, I had a flair for art during our school days also and I was the favourite student of our drawing teacher. I have won numerous prizes at school level competitions.
I came to know of this competition from newspaper and at once I decided to participate in it. Since the time of sending in the application, I have been preparing myself for the event in right earnest. Since it is an ‘on-the-spot’ drawing competition, I made sketches on every possible subject.
Fortunately, I got my favourite subject ‘problems of old age’ at the competition. I had drawn the picture of an old man leaning on his walking stick and straining his eyes under a shaded hand to look at the sun sinking in the ocean in the West.
I was simply thrilled when the convener announced my name for the first prize. I hope this success would help me a great deal to do better in future.
