About Me

As a person, I believe in respect for all, no matter what.

I live in Bangalore, India, with my husband, and two sons.

Travel, music, books, and writing are my favourite things to do.

Travel, not to check sightseeing boxes, but stay longer to really feel and experience a place. So I love anything that says 'local'. So every year, or some times, alternate years, I take off on my own to a new country. I believe we all need time by ourselves to explore and find what we need to. These travels have been some of the best experiences! We also travel as a family :).

Sci fi, noir, detective series, vintage humour and fantasy are top of the reading list. Must admit I'm not a big fan of new age literature (does that tell how old I am :)?) But I have discovered some wonderful writers in the last decade.

Nuts about wide open spaces and mountains and valleys. But I don't get to do much of that, living in a city, working, and really busy for most of the year. I work in reaching education to those that do not have easy access to it.

Hobbies. I started Postcrossing about 2 years ago, and so loved the idea of connecting with people all over the world, with a handwritten note. That's what led me to Swap-bot, and I'm amazed at the variety and creativity of the connect-up ideas here. So, yes, I am partial to postcard swaps as of now :).

I used to 'craft' a lot when I was a kid, but the habit dropped off. I'm picking back up slowly now, so I'd love to participate in simple crafty swaps as well!

Swapping!
Once I commit, I'm super prompt at sending my swaps along the way. Am sure I have a lot to learn about adding those extra special touches to a swap that will make the recipient smile! Getting there!

Comment: Golly, finally made it! Very thoughtful of you ty
Response: Hi, I hope you're doing well! Dropping in a note to ask about this swap and the rating. I do, do hope you've received my envelope. International mail does take longer from India some times. And if you did, and the swap did not make you happy, please do let me know why and I would be happy to make it up to you :). Take care!

Comment: Dear Anu, your letter arrived at a sunny late summer morning and I placed it on the drawer next to my bed. Reading your letter at the end of a joy-filled day was a wonderful thing to do. So much calm and warmth emanating from your words. That lush green envelope with the intricate (self drawn, I guess) pattern, so beautiful. It's a gift to be able to appreciate the small things in life and your letter makes me think of this quote which says, that one day we will discover, that these small things were actually the great things. Not sure if this is true but it adds so much to our days when our hearts are open to receive the beauty which surrounds us. Thank you 🌺
Response: Hi, I am SO glad the letter made it to you and so touched by your note. You are the miracle :). It is truly the small things that are precious. Lots of love to you.
