Speakout
All great adventures start with small steps initiated
with arduous humble aspirations.
Speakout is the brainchild of Mr. Ziya Qureshi
and was initiated in Aug, 2016. The idea was to
congregate all writers on a single platform. While a
lot of people write to express not all are able to
present themselves in front of others. Speakout
encourages writers to share their work and ensures
that it reaches out to people where it is recognised,
appreciated and acknowledged.
We started the journey with a simple post on
Facebook, inviting novice writers to share their
writings for online publication. Since then Speakout
has never missed a chance to get the recognition
that every writer deserves.
As an organization Speakout is now boosting
morale of budding artists in any form and
expression of thoughts at different platforms. We
have not only provided Speakout as a platform for
all kind of writings, but also assist and encourage
them with their works.
Workshops and Open Mic Sessions have been
added to Speakout‟s badge now. We have
conducted a workshop on Writing Skills in Graphic
Era University, Dehradun and Open Mic Sessions at
Bangalore and Lucknow till date.

writings in a form of book.

Editors Note
This book brings together an amalgamation of
exquisite writings. These writings have been
carefully selected and brought together from
different writers across location and have no
restrictions on their style, format or language.
The motto is to encourage expression of
thoughts in any possible creative way. Through this
effort Speakout want to boost creative thought
process and writing, especially among writers who
do not pursue writing as a profession. We want to
tap this creativity among writers and bring them
together.
Our writing contributors include people from
all the genres. They are students, working
professionals and entrepreneurs. This contributes to
the USP of this book. We have writers and
creativity across varied sections. What should you
look forward to, is the ride through this roller
coaster in which the next thrill cannot be
anticipated.
This book will take you on an enthralling
journey encompassing the varied emotions of life in
its innovative projection by our writers. It gives us
immense pleasure to present these articulate words
in our very first edition and to envision such variety
of imagination and expression on a single platform.

Ambika Solanki, Dehradun
When she was hurt, he was there to comfort her.
When she cried the night, he soaked her tears.
When she needed hugs, he gave himself.
When she shared her deepest secrets,
He heard her quietly.
Oh how she longed for him
to come alive, Her little pillow!
Amulya Bhardwaj, Bareilly
Your Little Girl
For when I cried, and was held by none.
When I felt alone, when I felt so done.
For when I fell from the cliff of life,
When I felt hurt, drowned in strife.
For when I felt lost in woods so dark,
And thunder threatened me with its spark.
For when I needed a hug of care,
I searched for your arms, but found them nowhere
No matter how much, Dad, your little girl grew,
This distance between usmakes me miss you !
