I'm not sure specifically as I don't know which 'the contest short story' you are referring to. It could be about a competition, perhaps a writing contest where the story itself is either the entry or about the experiences within the contest.
There was a sick child. The parents had lost all hope. Sathya Sai Baba came and placed his hand on the child's head. The child's health started to improve rapidly. This story reflects his power of healing. He was always there to bring hope to the hopeless.

Well, for a YA short story contest, common requirements include a word count range, like 3,000 to 8,000 words. Also, the story might need to fit within a given genre or topic. And often, there are rules about originality and submission format.
First, have a clear understanding of the contest theme. Then, do extensive research if needed. Polish your writing, check for grammar errors, and make the story emotionally resonant with readers.
I think in Sathya Rajkumar's best novels, there could be a strong sense of authenticity. The stories might be based on real - life experiences or emotions, which makes them relatable to the readers. His use of language could be both accessible and rich. Not overly complicated but still able to convey deep meanings. The pacing of the novels might also be well - thought - out. There won't be long, dull stretches. Instead, the story progresses at a rhythm that keeps the reader interested, whether it's a slow - burn build - up to a climax or a fast - paced adventure.
