People write short stories for all kinds of reasons. The fact that you were motivated to write them suggests that writing fulfills a need.But, if you want to monetize your hobby, you’ll have to do some research. But where to start? Writing is a complicated business anyway. When you start thinking about publishing or doing something else with it, that can be really complicated.Now you don’t have to find a publisher. You can self-publish short stories. If you want to do that, look up self-publishing advice on Quora. I’m going to talk about how to get your short stories traditionally published, and to possibly get paid for it.All kinds of websites and magazines are looking for content, including short stories. You’ll have to learn how to read guidelines in order to take advantage of them. This is probably best explained through an example. Here is a very detailed set of guidelines for a magazine that I submit stories to from time to time.My comments are in brackets like this [my comments]***Update: new higher word-count limit for submissions: 11,000 words. (Unlocked as a goal from the BCS 200th Issue Subscription Drive. Thank you!)[You must adhere to the word count limitations. Those sometimes include low word counts, like 1000–7500 words.]What We WantBeneath Ceaseless Skiespublishes “literary adventure fantasy”: stories with a secondary-world setting and some traditional or classic fantasy feel, but written with a literary approach.[If you’re not familiar with any terms in a set of guidelines, don’t guess. Look them up or ask on Quora. It may be that the answer is here already. For example, literary style writing involves writing using literary devices like describing characters by what they’re doing instead of directly through hair color, eye color, etc. For more details on literary style or literary devices, check out Quora or Google literary devices. If your stories don’t have a literary bend to them, then this will not be the market for you.]Secondary-World Setting: We want stories set in what Tolkien called a “secondary world”: some other world that is different from our own primary world in some way. It could be different in terms of zoology (non-human creatures), ecology (climate), or physical laws (the presence of magic). It could be set on Earth but an Earth different from our primary world in terms of time (the historical past) or history (alternate history). It could have a “pre-tech” level of technology, or steampunk technology, or magic as technology, or anything else that’s not advanced or modern technology. However, the setting should contain some element that is in some way fantastical.The inhabitants of this secondary world should have developed their own culture in response to the uniqueness of their world. The characters should fit this culture, and the qualities of the secondary world should have some bearing on the plot.We are NOT interested in urban fantasy or other types of stories set in the “real world,” even if they contain fantasy elements, or in stories that move between the real world and a fantasy world.[It’s good that they defined secondary world here. Not all guidelines do that. This is a big hint to you as a writer that they get a lot of inappropriate submissions. Don’t waste their time or yours by sending a story that doesn’t fit their requirements! There are thousands of markets out there. Don’t spam them. Send only to ones that fit with your story or stories.]Characters: We prefer stories that focus on the characters. We strongly prefer characters who yearn for something, external or internal, and feel driven to attain it. Our favorite characters are “round characters”: ones who grow and change over the course of a story instead of remaining the same.[Internal and external conflicts are a big deal in professional writing. The fact that they mention internal and external conflicts (somewhat indirectly) suggests that the stories you’ve written will only be appropriate if you’ve got a rich mix of internal and external conflicts that resolve well.]Narrative Style: We prefer styles that are literary but readable. We love gorgeous, poetic prose, but in genre fiction it’s vital that the style be clear enough so the reader can understand what’s happening. Our favorite styles are lush yet still clear.We tend to prefer limited or ‘close’ executions of point-of-view, whether first-person or third-person; as opposed to external or ‘distant’ executions of point-of-view. We find it harder to empathize with a character if the story’s execution of point-of-view feels more from outside the character or at arm’s length from them. We rarely like second-person point-of-view; it feels annoying to us.We know grammar rules, such as which types of clauses should have commas between them and which types should not. We respect the author’s freedom to bend the rules as suits their story, but repeated ignorance of grammatical principles for no apparent artistic reason will make a manuscript look unprofessional to us.[This is a long way of saying: proof read carefully or we’ll reject your story no matter how awesome it is. Grammarly is your friend.]Originality: We prefer stories that are as original as possible, particularly in the setting. We are unlikely to enjoy stories featuring elements we have seen repeatedly, such as elves or barbarian swordsmen or an opening scene in a fantasy tavern, unless they present that element in a unique new way.[Again, they’re giving you a big hint that they see too much of RPG or Tolkien-esque stories. Don’t send any of your stories to them that have those tropes.]Extreme Content: We prefer that graphic sex and violence not escalate beyond the level of an R-rated movie. We also insist that sex and sadistic violence not be acted upon children.[Not all magazines post what they like or don’t like in terms of graphic content. If a magazine’s content is up for free, it’s a good idea to read a few issues to see what they’ve bought before.]Fairy Tales / Myths: We usually find that fairy tale-style or myth-style narratives don’t provide a gritty or immediate enough perspective to make us feel the texture of the secondary world or the direness of the protagonist’s struggle. Any fairy tale-type or myth-type story probably isn’t right for us.[Notice they say ‘right for us.’ Just because a market doesn’t accept the kind of stories that you write, that doesn’t mean that you need to change the stories that you write. You just have to find the right market.]Urban / Contemporary Fantasy: We aren’t interested in urban fantasy or other types of stories set in the “real world,” even if they contain fantasy elements. It’s just not what we prefer to read. Any story with a modern or contemporary setting isn’t right for us.[They probably get a lot of inappropriate submissions. This drives editors crazy. Magazines like this get so many submissions that even spending a few seconds to look at your story feels like a huge inconvenience. You want to develop a reputation for being a writer who pays attention to guidelines, otherwise you’ll be thought of as a spammer.]Science Fiction: We aren’t interested in science fiction; it’s not what we prefer to read. Any story with advanced realistic technology or set in a future time isn’t right for us.[Anyone who sends science fiction to a fantasy magazine is either a spammer or is really not paying attention. Again, if you don’t know what something means when you read it in a magazine’s guidelines, ask on Quora first before assuming that your story might or might not fit.]Steampunk / Weird West / Sixguns & Sorcery / Etc.: In addition to classic settings of pre-tech fantasy, we also enjoy stories set in other types of secondary world that likewise don’t have modern technology, including steampunk, smoke & sorcery, Weird West, etc. Feel free to send us anything that you think might fit.[This may be a silent signal to authors that they’d like to see more of these kinds of stories! If you have one, this would be an exciting market to send it to. Also, authors, when they read over guidelines, often use those guidelines as inspiration to write a new kind of story that they haven’t tried before.]Poetry: We don’t publish poetry; only prose fiction.Humor and Satire: We don’t mind humorous stories, but we have a very dry sense of humor. We love wry satire, but we rarely enjoy slapstick or puns. We haven’t published much humor, but if you have a dry satire that hits us just right....Length and PoliciesLength: We strongly prefer under10,00011,000 words. We will consider stories over that length, but the longer a story is, the better it must be.(This new, higher length was unlocked as a goal from the BCS 200th Issue Subscription Drive. Thank you!)Novel Excerpts or Serials: We are NOT interested in novel excerpts or serials–we only want self-standing stories.Reprints: We publish only originals (stories that have never previously appeared anywhere in print or online). We do not consider reprints (stories that have previously appeared anywhere in print or online, including on a personal website or blog, or self-published on Kindle, or as Patreon or Kickstarter rewards).(We buy First Serial rights–the right to be the first place to ever publish that story. If the story has already appeared in print or online, or been given to readers in exchange for a donation or patronage, the story has already been published, and therefore BCS can’t be the first place to ever publish it.)Multiple Submissions (more than one story submitted at a time): We do NOT accept these. Please wait until you have received a reply to your submission before sending another.Simultaneous Submissions (a story that is currently under submission to another market): We DO accept these, but ONLY if you state in your cover letter that your submission is simultaneous, and ONLY if you notify us IMMEDIATELY when another market accepts your story.(We accept simultaneous submissions as a favor to writers because we know that response times from short fiction magazines in the field can be long, but if people abuse this policy, we will rescind it.)New Writers: We welcome submissions from new and unpublished writers. We publish a lot of new and neo-pro writers. For many of our authors, their sale to BCS was their first short fiction sale or their first pro-rate sale, or their third pro sale and qualified them to join SFWA. All our rejection letters are personalized, which many authors tell us they find useful in revising their stories to submit elsewhere and in learning what we’re looking for.Acceptances, Payment, and RightsEditing: All accepted manuscripts will be line-edited for grammar, punctuation, and clarity. The author will have the opportunity to review and discuss all of these edits. Payment will be made after receipt of the final, line-edited manuscript.[This is not an excuse to send them anything but your best proofed work! Editors are human too and they know that writers overlook mistakes. But if you have serious grammar and spelling errors, especially on the first page, they won’t accept the work.]Payment: For standard acceptances, we pay 6 cents US per word, which as of 07/01/2014 is professional rate as defined by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).[You don’t have to send to paying markets to receive benefits from your writing. Many writers find it extremely rewarding to be published at all. Having said that, it’s a good idea to send to paying markets first, and then work your way down the list.]Rights: For this payment, we purchase the following rights:First World Serial RightsFirst World Electronic RightsNon-Exclusive World Audio RightsAn Option to buy Non-Exclusive World Anthology Rights(This means that our payment buys the rights to publish your story on theBeneath Ceaseless Skieswebsite and in our ebooks, and to publish an audio podcast of it if we choose it for our podcast, as well as the option, at our choice, to pay you again at the reprint rate specified in the original contract (2 cents per word) and reprint it in any future anthology of stories fromBeneath Ceaseless Skiesand distribute that anthology anywhere in the world.)(You can’t publish that story as a first-run or “new” story anywhere else in the world, and you can’t have it appear anywhere else, in print or online or as audio, before or for 180 days after we publish or podcast it. But after that you can have it reprinted online and/or in a reprint magazine and/or in a reprint anthology, like one of the many Year’s Best collections, and you can resell non-exclusive audio rights, like to one of the many fiction podcast zines.)We also hope that you will let us keep the story in our online archives after 180 days.We are and always have been a SFWA-qualifying professional market, so any sale to us since BCS #1 in 2008 can be used to qualify the author for membership in SFWA.[If you ever have questions about copyright, and terms in a contract, ask on Quora. These terms are very generous and author-friendly.]How to SubmitFormat: Format your manuscript in Standard Manuscript Format. If you don’t know what that is, look it up. If you deviate from this in more than a few ways, your story will look unprofessional to us before we’ve read the first word.Include your name, address, and email on the first page, and a running header with your last name, the title, and page number at the top of every subsequent page.[If your manuscript is not in the requested format, it’s usually rejected with a form letter without being read. It’s not just a matter of making the manuscript as readable and useful to the editor as possible. It’s a test to see if you’re going to be easy to work with. Professional writers treat writing like a job (because it is!) and are usually easy to work with. Unprofessional writers might argue over single word changes for no valid reason, they might deliver required edits so late that the story misses it’s publication date, might grovel so that the editor feels uncomfortable working with them, or might act like they’re the next Stephen King and must be treated with unquestioning loyalty. If your manuscript is in the format required (and sometimes they’ll ask for something non-standard so watch out) they can feel somewhat reassured that they’re working with a writer that’s at least somewhat agreeable to following the rules.]Cover Letter: We do prefer a SHORT cover letter with every submission. Type it into the body of your email. Mention the title of your story in case the attachment gets lost. If you have prior fiction sales, list the best one or two. If you’ve been to any writing workshops, mention them. TELL US if this is a simultaneous submission. DO NOT give a synopsis or summary of your story; we’ll learn what it’s about when we read it.[This is another test. The shorter your cover letter, the better, assuming that you cover all the bases in the process. It’s totally acceptable to writeDear (insert name of editor), please consider my 2500 word fantasy short story, “Under the Wall”, for publication in Beneath Ceaseless Skies Magazine. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, (your name).If you have other publishing credits, mention them (briefly.)]Manuscript File: Attach your manuscript to an email as either a *.DOC MS Word document file or a *.RTF rich-text-format file, with the normal “.DOC” or “.RTF” file-name extention at the end of the name of your file. If you can’t get either of these formats to work, you may paste the text of your manuscript into the body of your email.DO NOT send a *.DOCX file (the default format that Word 2007 uses); we can’t open those files. DO NOT post your file to a third-party storage site such as SkyDrive and email us the link; we do not download attachments from third-party sites.Send your email to. Use the subject line Submission: (the title of your story).IMPORTANT: your subject line MUST include the word “Submission” or our spam filter will delete your email.[More tests! They really do want to read your story, as long as it fits their guidelines. Most magazines love ‘discovering’ new authors. Some of their guidelines involve technical things. Notice they say that they can’t open a .docx. Well, they probably could by using a workaround or a personal computer or phone, but that increases their already heavy work load. They need to work with writers who are going to make things easy for them, not writers that make things harder. The magazine business is hard enough!]Our Process and Response TimesAuto-Reply Email: You should receive our email auto-reply within 24 hours after sending your submission.If you don’t, check your spam filter to be sure it didn’t get caught there. Then make sure your subject line starts with “Submission” so our filter won’t delete your email and send your story again. If you still don’t receive the auto-reply 24 hours after that, query using the email form on our Contact page. We will get back to you as soon as we can.[I like that they have a process for maintaining communication lines. Not all editors do. Quite a few don’t have their submission process automated. If you submit to such a market, you must be patient and not pester them. That means that it may be that your submission is lost, and no one will know until months later. That’s okay, because you’ll still be writing more stories and submitting to other markets, right?]Response Time: Our response times average 2-4 weeks, occasionally as long as 5-7 weeks; during Spring 2014, as short as 1-3 weeks.[This is great information. If a magazine doesn’t list its response time and doesn’t have a mechanism for tracking whether or not a manuscript is received, you’ll have to find out yourself. There are services that track response times for paying markets. If you’ve sent a story to a market, and there’s no tracking system, and you haven’t heard anything in a long time, it’s a good idea to look up the average response time. If you haven’t heard anything and it’s past the regular response time, you can write a polite letter or email asking about it. “Dear (editor’s name), On (exact date) I sent my fantasy short story, “Under the Wall,” for consideration. Did you receive it? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, (your name.)”]Slush Updates: To keep writers informed on our reading progress, we post periodic Slush Updates on our News page, under the category Slush Updates, saying what date up to which we have currently read all submissions.[I love this feature. I wish all markets accepting submissions had this.]Querying: If we post a Slush Update saying that we’ve replied to all submissions sent before a certain date, and you sent yours before that date, please query us using the email form on our Contact page. We really mean this; it’s not necessary to wait.Please do not query if we haven’t announced that we’ve replied to all submissions up to the date you sent yours.All rejections and acceptances will be notified by email.[This is a big, flashing sign saying “Please don’t bother us, we’re working as fast as we can. Be patient!]Unsolicited Rewrites: We DO NOT accept unsolicited rewrites of stories that we’ve already rejected. (That is a nearly universal policy among short fiction markets of all genres.)[This is true. MOST markets will not accept unsolicited rewrites. Read my next comment for more on this.]As discussed in this comment thread, we intend the personalized comments in our rejections as explanation of why that story didn’t work for us, and we hope that insight into what we’re looking for will be of help to the author with their next submission. They are not an invitation to resubmit the same story, even if it has been revised.[If you get a personalized comment on your story, congratulations! That means they cared enough about the story to try to help you make the next one better. Even if the comment is a negative comment, like “there’s too much dialogue and not enough description for us,” you made them care enough to write that. Editors are very, very busy and slush readers are overwhelmed all the time with submissions. If they take the time to write anything other than what’s on the form, that means your story was a near miss.But, even if it doesn’t specify in the guidelines, don’t send your story to the same market, even after a drastic rewrite, unless they ask for a rewrite. That’s called a rewrite request, and it’s a good thing. It means you’re almost in, though it’s not guaranteed. (Don’t mess up your rewrite! Though, of course you can refuse to rewrite too. It’s your story. They won’t buy it without a rewrite, but someone else might.)What do you do if you get a personalized comment but they rejected your story? You can send your story to another market without changes. There might be nothing wrong with your story at all. Everyone has their preferences, and another editor might like your story just as it is. BUT if you agree with the comments the editor made, you should think about tweaking the story a bit before you send it out again. Whether you do or don’t change the story, KEEP WRITING and learn from your rejections.]I hope that this has been helpful to you. Good luck!

This answer may contain sensitive images. Click on an image to unblur it.Few of the well-wisher on Quora has advised me on a few aspects and to avoid harassment or false implication; I have decided to quote a source to the information I have posted in my answer here. If you feel any information requires a further quote, let me know, and If I have no quote available and my premises of information is vague without question, i will remove such information.I married at the age of 28. I was Australia return. I returned to India as I couldn't live without the Indian social environment.I had a love marriage, had a great Business, and a substantial income.My wife deserted me at the age of 34 and without my consent took two kids, despite custody of two kids given to me. *(Clause No 3 and 6 Deed Of Divorce Mutual executed)I found her in a kind of relationship with someone that I was never aware of, so, I raised questions, and I couldn't resist her playing hide and seek with me on that. During my matrimonial life, I lent above half a million to her (Bank loans taken, Father sold his property-retirement fund to give money to generate interest) relatives and friends as she asked me for business purposes, and all of a sudden I had no way to recover money as smoothly as I could have in her presence, as she always handled-managed all transactions. I trusted her. Now, I couldn't find the scope of a phone conversation with her. *(Regarding Relationship, Deed Of divorce Mutually Executed and FIR No 48/2017, Surat Umra Police Station) + For Financial issues, monies lent to her friends and relatives and information are covered under phone records, WhatsApp, emails, bank statements. She has also given amount from her saving to the best of my knowledge)When I learned about all the shocking bitter things, I wanted her to accept it and move on with a friendly compromise way, as I have two kids.But, she wanted Divorce, and she kept saying it all the time on WhatsApp and Phone. I gave her what she wanted on mutually decided terms, but after the execution of a deed of Divorce *(28th June 2017), she retracted and refused other settlement and support in recovery. *(Phone conversation)She took two kids without my consent on 07/07/2017, whom I loved and I have been taking care of since their birth. In a formal agreement, she officially submitted kids custody to me under the oath and witness. *(Clause 3 and 6 for Child Custody in the Deed of divorce)Then she filed a false Complaint about Kidnapping and others. *(Phone Recording, MP High Court Order and Order of Session court, Indore) The Complaint was dismissed as she couldn't prove it. I have submitted all evidence to the police during my statement period. I have posted a few pieces of evidence and information to the concerned police department so far. *(24+ Letters with Evidence supplied to concerned police department through DTDC Post)Then one day she called and gave my kids under her new verbal terms, to which I agreed. As soon as I took kids, she filed a kidnapping complaint against me to force me to agree to more terms. She beat the shit out of me. How did she bring the kids in the first place from my home, after giving custody to me was never questioned by the media? That was never investigated by police in the beginning, however, following the high court ruling, they started investigating a case on a merit and fact basis*(MP High Court Order is, attached in this post)She alleged some ladies and one guy for abetting kidnapping with me, who were systematically organized to fabricate me in a false case. However, the High Court of MP made it clear that there was no offense of kidnapping made by me. Gujarat High Court also passed a protection order to protect my child and me against false cases and harm.Everything I created, earned, and made in life was at stake.I couldn't live without kids, my business, life, reputation, and atrocious questions of media and agony caused by police during the Investigation, it was terrible and affected me deep inside.But you know what?My children with me were a constant reason for me to keep walking with my head up, no matter what as long as I stood for truth and as I stood for truth, obstacles were obvious.Police dismissed all kidnapping charges/Refused to take a complaint and even denied that they could not take kids from me based on a settled agreement signed by the wife that says, Children's Custody is given to the father, and Gujarat High Court has given protection order to my daughters and me. *(Clause 3 and 6 of Deed of Divorce)Wife pursued District court Indore; her case was dismissed there too. *(Information given at the end of the answer)Wife filed an appeal before the high court, her case dismissed, and it is proved that all allegations were false and frivolous. *(Information given at the end of an answer)Gujarat high court directs police to provide free protection to my two daughters and me from their mother. *(Information presented at the end of response)As she lost all cases, she changed her stories and statement previously submitted to the police and put new allegations on me, such as; I have used a gun to have sexual intercourse with her. Changing a story to implicate someone is perjury, a crime. I wish my wife would know that; First, we Lie, then we lie to cover the previous lie then we feel like lie protected us, but in the end, Truth alone triumphs and Karma always chases us. *(Based on her statement in courts and Stories published in Newspaper with her and Police officer photos, a reasonable assumption made and the media said her application was a source for them)These all happened between 07/07/2017 to 07/10/2017. And it's on.Wife lost all cases however I filed a Complaint with Surat police on an evidence basis, and police have initiated action and, she made out new stories, and put new criminal charges on me that I used a gun to torture her and police took a bribe to help me. All those charges deemed to be dismissed follow by High court order. (Indore) it is just I don't and won't surrender to her atrocious terms, and now I don't have to.As under the Indian law, once a high court has ruled out, she can challenge it to the supreme court however she went back to police through media and stressed them to file a Kidnapping Complaint which is already dismissed by a high court.When I contacted the media, they gave an apology and changed the news. Few presses don't have contact information at all. They got "masala" so they posted at the cost of my right to live with dignity.I won all cases so far. (Except if she files new complaints, I will add it in Edits) (Over matrimonial issues, Lawyer and your enemies always win, but as a couple, family and kids, it is still like losing everything. Genuine atrocious matrimonial cases are exceptional) However, I can't stop thinking about my wife whom I loved. I always look for an option to save my family.Indian judiciary system never harassed me, and they delivered justice on a merit basis. But the judiciary is extremely technical, and sometimes it relies too much on its own decisions over evidence and that is where Injustice happens. Sometime.My wife officially given Custody of my children through a deed of divorce and lost (She voluntarily, consciously withdrawn her rights) all her mother rights since then, despite that she took my kids without my consent, for her hidden agenda (I can not disclose it since Law does not allow me and matter are under investigation) and I could have filed a complaint on that. However, I just thought to be a good human at that time. It had then came to my mind, how much more children are vulnerable to matrimonial and custody issues, and further, they are affected by media and judicial process. My complaint issues are much more severe than what i have mentioned here. However, I am not allowed to post any evidence and footage, and those are under investigation.Recently, on 11/10/2017 Surat Police Registered FIR against wife under section 504, 506 to threaten children, parents, and me. And Police also registered FIR against her paramour u/s 497 for extramarital affairs/Adultery. Then I came to know, If married women commit adultery, they can not be punished under the current law. However, only the person who engaged in an extramarital relationship is punished. *(FIR No 336/2017 for u/s 504, 506 and FIR No 48/2017 for u/s 497)I remember once a police officer told me; If the press/media pressurize them, they will file a 498a complaint against me, despite, I am innocent. How strange? Isn't it? I pursued a legal process, and I am fortunate enough, my rights were recognized and no false complaint filed against me. I thank the Gujarat High court for their Direction on protection against false accusation and harm to life to my children and me against my wife.How this incident has pushed me towards a new solution:I realized the child has a different right than adults.This episode gave me an understanding of children's vulnerability, and I started a program under NGO: Dear Cherry Kiwi | JivanamAsteya Cherry and Kiwi are my two daughters. It focuses on Child Rights, Protection, and their best interest including protecting children from domestic violence, child trafficking, sexual abuse.I started learning that families are breakings through misunderstandings, ego, and anger and the pieces of advice of a so-called well-wisher. I wanted to focus on the family, so I started another program here: Live More Family | JivanamAsteyaIn the interest of justice for the most vulnerable, with the support of a volunteer advocate, I boosted PROJECT KARNAV Project Karnav I File Online Complaint with NGO in India - monitoring and implementation of democracy, human rights, and governance. You can file civil, criminal, consumer, cybercrime complaint online. Besides you can file online rti, take action against false cases, government, police, politicians & more in India.To help a husband and their families i have set up one NGO program Live More Family | JivanamAsteya to bring them out of false matrimonial cases and to give the best fight and teach lessons to wrongdoers in collaboration with best local, High Court and Supreme Court Lawyer affiliation including investigators, retired police officers consultation and much more confidential strategies. The cost hence made affordably, and this also includes support for NRIs. So far husbands have been defensive against cases filed by the wife, but rather, we have developed a program to do the opposite in the best interest, to save time and cost. You can also register your case here: Live More Family | JivanamAsteyaKarnav With You: https://www.facebook.com/KarnavWithYou to build happiness, prosperity, and success in the life of individual, couple, group, and Entrepreneurs.I donated all my business/incomes to NGO I am part of, and now diverted full-time focus for a more significant cause. When you see more pain and worse stories, you feel safe, and you've got to do whatever it takes to change their stories.Parent NGO Link: JivanamAsteya - Government Registered NGO in Surat, India.I had two options.To accept and live with the consequences created by wife and cry all the time and beg people for compassion.To come out of whatever it may be for the welfare of my children and to help others come out of a similar situation and keep my mental health adequate and work for the more significant cause.When I help children, families, and people, it gives me immense mental happiness, and that boost my growth.Once I had a successful life, it changed all. But you know what? I say life is always a bitch, but I am not. And that is why I still feel successful because every circumstance that came in my life so far had hidden opportunity and cause for me to work on.Take AwayDon't get disappointed because people love hurting you. You should have your reasons to get frustrated.Anything that you read in print media and news has no legal values in the court of law. Live a transparent life, so you have nothing to hide from anyone, so when something broke out, it doesn't affect you, and no one can ever blackmail you.Your loved one may need one time statement, but no one needs an explanation.Find your cause, find what your life wanted to teach you, and do it. Don't go against that. Your answer to success lies in your situation. Find a mentor who can help you.Suicide is no solution. The solution lies in changing your attitude and thought process about your life. Why blame life, when you have enough control to change it.You are the boss of your success, life, ideas, and thought process. Don't be a slave to it. Once a person called a terrorist by the media is now Prime Minister of India. (Shree Narendra Modi)Wrong time will fade away. When you want to cry, do it. Take a break like a baby so you can cry and repent enough and start again as a hero to move forwards. When you have nothing to lose, what worst can happen?Don't let others decide what you are and what's your success looks like. You don't have to watch 3 Idiots to get inspired. Stories of people can open your mind and windows of opportunities or outlook towards life and situation; however, you get inspiration and motivation from within.Never lie. Hire the best mentor to prepare a defence strategy or to resolve your issues. Mentor generally never charge or take away minor fees. I received help from 8 lawyers including the lawyer of the High Court and Supreme court, who did not cost anything to me (o paid expenses in some matter), but they’d put faith in my case, evidence, and story and just helped me get out of the mud. Those lawyers are my hero, Lord Krishna kind and they want to do something to reform India, and they found their purpose in my struggle.No matter what, you should never hate your decisions and, revenge, anger, and ego lead you nowhere. Don't change your goal and focus because somebody else's wants you to do so.Don’t ever assume, what has happened to me, won’t happen to you. Everybody will face some challenges in their life when they make decisions.

You can't control external things, but you can control internal things.Despite severe pain, I can see the light coming into my life. My Children are my energy and everything I need to live my life. I can't forget my wife but what I can do is that she will be in my good memories, and Justice will be served on a merit basis {(if she files a new complaint ;)}, but I don't think any more about it as that emotional bombs blast within my body when I think about t her. I have to work on a solution, based on the facts of my present life.All things and episodes have now put me back on steady life, fruitful and progressive path. I am working hard to make myself, mentally fit too. You need your body and mind fit for any hardship.A few months ago, I answered on Quora; I feel so proud to have a wife like her. And I am not going to change that answer because what she did to me can't change my original feeling to her.After all of this, I am unable to hate her as I can't erase the memories and affection I have developed for her, however, the more you respond emotionally to a person who wants you to go hell for personal gain, you need a mentor who can control your emotions. I want to cry a hell out of me; I am weak when I become emotional. *(Based on the fact she filed a kidnapping complaint before a high court of MP and it was disposed of)I believe children need both parents. I might be helpless but not hopeless.Putting the child’s interests above all, I am now awaiting what they would police do next and what happens next? (EDIT: Gujarat high court has passed another order directing Police to provide protection to minor children and to ensure no harm occurs to them. My children and I receive full support from Indore and Surat Police, in the best interest of justice. Gujarat HC also passed FIR direction against Police Inspector, and further proceedings are now undertaken in the matter.)If you are In pain, have a Complaint, or have any trouble, get in touch with me at [email protected] since the police has intervened and initiated legal Investigation, I am getting money recovered bit by bit. I am not sure if anything changes in the future.One of her friends is genuine and stood up for what is right, and he is against Divorce, and he never defaulted so far. I admire him for his honesty.I don't hate my wife, and I don't know why, but just the emotional bond, I made with her, just saying to me again and again, even if she wants to see me in hell, I wish to see her in my life.In response to newspaper stories published by Dainik Bhaskar, they have also posted a story against me, then they revised the story, and All I can say is that, including Dainikbhaskar, with other media organ, I am not happy with the story without verification, photos of wife, mine or children to be posted without consent. At Least i was able to convince Dainik Bhaskar Group, Surat to blur pictures of wife and children. They didn’t spare me though.मेरे किसी से शारीरिक संबंध हैं, पति को घर में बंद कर पत्नी फरारपत्नी बोली पुलिस से मिलकर पति ने किया बेटियों का किडनैप, पति ने बताई चौंकाने वाला बातAfter I shared FIR registered in Surat and Gujarat and MP to Dainikbhaskar regarding Gun and Sexual allegation, coverage, They have revised their article again. However, I am still not contented with their photo things and using a few names that unverified.दो धाराओं में दर्ज हुआ लड़की पर केस,पति पर लगाए थे ये आरोप (if they had verified news earlier, they could have posted one neutral story. What they posted, was taken by other leading media too.)And press news is never reliable. That the same newspaper has published two different stories And one is right, and another should be wrong. I blame it on media who want more circulations, and they care less about the individual’s rights.I have a phone recording with the leading media organization who tried to say in the first place; they were under the impression that women are always right, so they published a story without verification. It is just, my lawyer who does not want me to a public that recording for apparent reasons.The fake stories posted by Dainikbhaskar is here: ‘My Husband Used A Gun To Have Sex With Me’; Indore Woman Reveals About The IT Expert She Married In 2012Why this is a fake story because MP high court has ruled it out that said allegations are bogus. (means daughter are not in illegal detention of father hence no kidnapping charges are attracted) I am attaching that order here, which was not disclosed to the media and police.However, I am ready to talk with any media person on an evidence basis. The first page is the wife's submission to the high court followed by a court order. When I got a certified copy, I got all these three pages. She never used GUN word anywhere to the high court, a lower court in the first place, and all of a sudden her storyline changed.You will also see more orders as you scroll down.In response to manipulated CCTV of 15/07/2017, here is the footage of 07/07/2017 where my parents and I was locked in a room and my wife without consent, all of a sudden took the kids. And this happened in the first place: Shweta Shah Indore CCTV Video Footage - YouTube By this time, I already received legal Custody of kids through a mutually signed deed of divorce that we signed, and that means taking them without my consent can be kidnapping. However, it was none of my interest to file any Complaint at that time. The media was never interested in verifying my facts, and they are a business organization, and they need a story that sells, so police, sex, fantasies since those are most selling digital news. However, the media has brought the facts now. However, I believe media should never post a story merely at face value, either it is from the complainant or accused, however, they should verify it. The press has a right to freedom, but that comes with restriction, so others do enjoy their rights.Gujarat High Court has passed an order for police protection to me and my kids against the wife for false Complaints and physical threats. In the MP high court copy, it is also referred to by court order.I have much more to say but all that is under investigation and Quora is a platform to share knowledge, etc., and through my stories, I have shared stories backing with relevant evidence.Thanks to Quora to repost my answer after verification, based on the merit of the solution.Sign the Petition to help me protect and restore the rights of my two daughters.

However, then I read about him in the news here: दो धाराओं में दर्ज हुआ लड़की पर केस,पति पर लगाए थे ये आरोप , where he has been called his brother. To my surprise, during my marital life, I never met him not his wife introduced to him. That when i asked a newspaper person, he said he introduced himself as an elder brother and made a statement of a deed signed in the name of business agreement. It’s all confusing. Brother, Elder Brother, Cousin, and Far Far Away Cousins, that all are a different thing. However, I have expressed my views and a few severe concern to him over Quora.Regarding money Related an FIR is registered, I found news published on it here by Times of India Man alleges cheating by wife of Rs 61 lakh in Surat - Times of India, however, I have some dissatisfactions, how media report stories, but I can't control them, as they depend on their source.References/Quotes: (I am not able to post few documents, you can explore it on the Indore or Gujarat Court website or obtain FIR through RTI) (I have no intention to hurt anyone and One of my American friends said, Positive Energy will help me survive from everything wrong)Deed of Divorce Executed on 28/06/2017 (Including Custody Settlement)Complaint u/s 294, 323, 506, 366 and Search Warrant Dismissed by Session Court Indore, Registration Number: 3595/2017Private Complaint against me (Should be dismissed followed by High Court MP Order) u/s 361, 294, 323, 506, 363, Registration Number 3595/2017 (It seems the duplicate case)Free Police Protection Order from Gujarat High Court to Children and Me, SCA 3595/2017Claim Disposed of by High court of MP, MCRC/8048/2017FIR against Wife u/s 504, 506, Fir No. 336/2017Adultery FIR against wife’s Paramour u/s 497, FIR No. 48/2017My wife has filed a DV case against my father and me under section 12 of the Domestic violence Act.
