How to create your entry in Hindi

Using Google Transliteration on Knol

Click the 'Submit your entry' button next to the topic you want to write about.
Sign in to your Google Account. Google Account is the email and password you use to sign in to Gmail and other Google products. IMPORTANT: If you don't have a Google Account, click here to create one.

Create your entry in Hindi using the Google product called Knol that will open when you click the 'Submit your entry' button and sign in to your Google Account.
Enable Hindi Transliteration by clicking the अ icon while you are in Edit mode in Knol and then type in English letters. Type in Hindi with English alphabets and the Hindi word that you have typed with English alphabets will be converted into Hindi characters after you hit Space or Enter. For example, typing "aloo" in English transliterates into Hindi as आलू .

You do not need to use Google Transliteration; you can use any tool you like to type in Hindi and copy/paste your entry into the open Knol page. A few other options for typing in Hindi are given below.
When you are done with your entry, you will need to hit "Publish" to make it available to us. If you have not completed your entry and would like to come back to it at a later time, just click the 'Save' button and come back to it later. Remember that your entry will not be complete until you hit the "Publish" button.
If you are a 9th to 12th standard student, please add the line "I am a 9th to 12th standard student" at the end of your entry. Please note that your student status will be verified if you become eligible for the special student prize.

Bi-monthly poetry contest open to everyone.

How to participate
The process pf participating is very simple. Just submit your poem with a comment in this page! I will enter it into the Knol for everyone to see! The rules to be followed are simple:

Please submit poems that are written in English via comments in this page. Try to clearly state the contest for which you enter your poem in the title of the comment. Remember that comments are moderated so you may have to wait 1-2 days before you see your comment and poem posted here.
Please try to write small poems of 2-20 lines. Every size of poems is accepted, but you can understand that a poem of 2 pages is difficult to post in this limited space. Thanks for your understanding!
Please submitt original poems! I want your poems, not a copy-paste of poems written by others! I do not have the resources nor the time to verify that a poem posted here is original, but I hope everyone is so honest to follow this rule. After all the purpose of the contest is to have fun, not to win Nobel prize.

Contest materials and instructions on how to enter your knol and participate in the Contest will be available on the Knol web site (knol.google.com). For the purpose of this Contest, an Entry is a submission created specifically for this Contest that is complete (as determined by Sponsors). Each Registered User may submit multiple entries during the Open Call for Submissions; however, only the highest ranked knol from each Registered User, as determined by Google in its sole discretion during the course of the initial ranking process, will be counted for purposes of final judging. Any editing of a knol must be complete by last day of submission period.

4. Language: English only.

5. Entries may only be submitted by a knol Owner. Group entries will not be accepted (although different individuals might have taken part in the development of a knol Entry, only one individual may be considered to have produced and submitted the Entry as the final Owner of the knol).
