Lack of libraries in India
A bunch of us at Writing in India recently started a discussion on libraries. And I couldn�t restrain myself and launched off an e-mail with fond memories of the Alameda County library I was a member of in Fremont. Am re- writing some of the contents of the e-mail here. US was boring , tillContinue reading "Lack of libraries in India"
Kashmir’s homeless
There is a cold wave sweeping across the north. I watch the temperature dropping every night in Kashmir. Srinagar moved from minus 4.6 degrees to � 5 degrees.

capturing sunsets
I love sunsets. They fascinate me tremendously. It is nice to see something so bursting and blinding white, suddenly get all fiery red and then mellow down to a feisty orange and later a lovely golden yellow. Sometimes the sunsets are brooding against the grey of the clouds, but when the purples, pinks come theyContinue reading "capturing sunsets"
When your life changes
Do you change with it? The answer for many is an obvious yes. But I beg to differ. It isn�t always so. When I got married and my life changed overnight, I wasn�t ready to change myself and accommodate everything new that life had brought to my doorsteps. I wasn�t ready for the new country,Continue reading "When your life changes"
