Found your blog while searching for the Srinivas Rayaprol 2012 results. Well, didn't find anything about the results, but this blog was definitely a great find :D

No announcement? :( Haven't they sent out an official email like every year?

Ayushi, Anon: Apologies.

There'll be a separate post at some point, but for the two of you, for now, here's a part of the message from the Rayaprol Trust about the 2012 prize winner:

"Twenty-six year old Tushar Jain has been declared the winner of the Srinivas Rayaprol Poetry Prize for 2012.


"Tushar Jain is a Delhi-based writer. After pursuing his Masters in English and Economics, he chose the uncertain and unpredictable pursuit of a career in the civil services and has been ‘boiling his head’ over in the same. Poetry and writing remain his passion. Publishing since he was 16, his work has appeared in small-press magazines like Black Petals to literary journals like Hastakshar. Currently, he is working on a novel and a play."
