Sonorous Songsmith Results Announced
Songwriting is a specialised field that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. A certain amount of predilection for this particular form of literary expression is required. We at Takhte are overjoyed to have collaborated with 9XM.TV to put on the event “Sonorous Songsmith.”
We got a few submissions, but are hopeful that this genre will evolve in the coming years and be able to attract more participation from lyric authors.
Congratulations are in order for the three songwriters who came up with the winning songs out of the twenty submitted.
To sum up, we would like you to keep honing your skills and writing meaningful songs.

Neural Nexus by Stuti Manda: A Book Launch
The book titled ‘Neural Nexus: Uncovering the horrific murder of a Friend‘ authored by Stuti Manda, a student of Gitanjali Vedika School, Hyderabad, was launched on the children’s day by the principal- Mrs Sonia Nagpal.
The debutante author Stuti Manda’s achievement at such a tender age is awe-inspiring. Her exceptional storytelling skills, vivid imagination, and remarkable attention to detail are apparent in every page of ‘Neural Nexus.’ What sets this novel apart is that a 12-year-old wrote it with a gripping plot, interactive nature, and intriguing dialogue.
Stuti’s ability to captivate readers with succinct yet powerful sentences is genuinely remarkable. The variety in her sentence structure keeps the readers engrossed throughout the book. From short, punchy sentences to longer, descriptive ones that paint vivid pictures in the mind’s eye, each sentence adds depth and texture to the narrative. The grammatical choice adds a sense of immediacy and energy to the narrative, propelling the story forward and keeping readers engaged.
Another remarkable aspect of ‘Neural Nexus’ is the author’s ability to create incredibly authentic dialogues. Each character’s voice is distinct and vibrant, adding depth and realism to the story. The interactions between characters are riveting, drawing readers further into the plot. Stuti grabs the reader’s attention with each sentence and refuses to let go.
