Hi Ankit, I'm not sure what you meant by "we can keep it" above. Can you clarify? I think the Magazine editors were more interested in seeing some different articles. I'd really encourage you to pick up a starter pitch, and write that. These are already "right sized" so we can use it to gauge your writing, and have an easier time editing and publishing your work.
