Trailblazer Award
The House In The Woods by Oindrila Sinha using No Catchphrase.
“A genuine and deeply personal picture of the nature painted in words! It reflects common human struggles with overthinking and self-criticism and leaves a strong message of co existence of love & nature. Simple sentences convey complex emotions. The poet made excellent use of different figure of speech like ” The silent laughter of the mountains ,” “babbling river “, ” The fog loittered …..”, ” the Pine cone giggled on the streets “. The repetition of the word “stop” creates a strong impact, emphasising the need for a break from incessant worrying. While the text is relatable, adding specific examples or anecdotes could enhance its emotional depth. Including more positive affirmations could balance the critique and offer a more uplifting conclusion. The poet has excellent skill & prowess in his/her writing. Great future ahead.”-JURY.
Terror of thoughts by Rounak Abid using Catchphrase “Delusion / ভ্রান্তিতে তুষ্টি”.
“Its a well written and deeply introspective piece where the writer displays the dark side of the life. It explores the complexities of human thoughts and emotions. The use of vivid imagery, like thoughts being “ghosts” or an “endless river,” enhances the emotional depth. The metaphors and analogies used are impactful and help in visualising the abstract concepts discussed. The negative mind is compared with the” terrorism of thoughts”. With some refinement for conciseness and a touch of positive resolution, this piece has the potential to be even more impactful and inspirational. The author has to be mindful of typos, punctuation and grammar.”- JURY.
EQUALITY? by Nandini Saha using No Catchphrase.

Deathbed and Other Side of the Pain by Santanu Kumar Shaw using Catchphrase “Delusion / ভ্রান্তিতে তুষ্টি” and No Catchphrase respectively.
“An extremely heartworming sensitive, poignant and well-expressed letter to a friend in the form of blank verse. The letter is wriiten by the poet before his eternal jouney. Its emotional depth, evocative imagery, and thoughtful exploration of universal themes are captivating. While the themes are universal, the poem presents them with a personal touch and authenticity that feels genuine. The style of the letter is very enriching, inspiring and very tastefully written. The idea is unique and the style is very individualsitic. Catchphrase is justified. It would read much better without the avoidable grammatical errors.”- JURY on Deathbed.
“The writing style of the poet is very fluid and easy flowing . He has an excellent command over poetic language .Use of figures of speech are ample like antithesis,metaphors and personification. The poem suggests a thematic exploration that could delve into various aspects of suffering, healing and transformation.”- JURY on Other side of the Pain.

Dreamland by Subarsa Chakraborty using Catchphrase “Delusion / ভ্রান্তিতে তুষ্টি”.

The writer has a good storytelling skill using his/her imaginative powers. Very good use of punctuation marks, but there a few grammatical errors.”- JURY.
