File format: MS Word

Size: about 800 words (please feel free though - we can make it into two parts if it is too big. If smaller than 800 words - that is not a problem at all) 

Preferred format: Font Size -Arial 10 (make it bold or italics where needed)

Please add side headings where relevant - people generally skim through the content at the beginning, so side headings will help immensely.

Include pictures where necessary to generate interest - downloaded images from internet are not acceptable, do not embed pictures in the word file but attach them with the email.

Please provide a 3 to 5 line personal profile of yours that will go along with the article to introduce the author - providing your email id is optional, though is preferred. 

A casual passport size digital photograph will also help readers knowing you better.
