It’s a Sixer Natasha Musing turned 6 today, on the 6th Day of December, 2022. (I’m not counting the time I set up my blogspot account- 17 years ago; as I’d like to believe that WP gave wings to my personal writing in a different form.) It’s been a quiet celebration this year. Quiet is nice. Sometimes. Though I miss the buzz around my anniversary from the last five years. To make up for it I almost ordered a…
To Blog = To Share To Connect To Create To Inspire
A village visit and Glimpses of A school: Tulika singh A few years ago while on a visit to my hometown my cousin suggested we go visit his farm/mango orchard a few kms from the city. The children were reluctant for no reason except that it was just easier to sit home in the AC glued to their gadgets rather than go exploring on a hot summer day. If you know the North Indian summer you might even sympathise with…
Wanderlust beckons and we are going on a break. We’ll be back in time to bring in our blogiversary.
FOND FAREWELL: Keith Hillman When my mobile rings and I see my friend Rosey’s name on the screen, I know to hold the device a couple of inches away from my ear to lessen the pain of her shrieking greeting! But yesterday it was different. I heard nothing.

is blogging worth it? : Damyanti Biswas A huge thanks to Natasha for inviting me to her blog on the week she completes two years on Natasha Musing. Lately, a lot of bloggers have begun to feel a sense of hopelessness at the direction the blogiverse is taking: more paid posts, more reciprocal exchanges of comments and social media sharing, more appearance than reality, more conflict than community. I disagree.
Yes! we are turning two!! And I’m bringing in my blogiversary celebrations this year with a big bang. This announcement is tad late, but believe you me I was having a whale of a time, most of the day, today at the Delhi Times Literary Festival. I know I should have scheduled this post, but I’m still working my way towards getting more organised with my blogging. Hopefully the coming year, will bring in some redemption. Amen to that! 🙂…
Churu, Not Just a Quaint Town: By Gayatri Manchanda Exactly a year ago today, I, along with four other women travellers descended into the dense Namdhapa jungle in Arunachal Pradesh, to trek and camp in the wilderness for a week. When Natasha asked me to contribute a travel article on her blog’s anniversary, I was in the middle of reading her ebook Travel Epiphanies that journals her travel memoirs and that brought back many travel-related memories. I thought of sharing memoir…
OUR LIFE IN MAURITIUS: BY ESHA MOOKERJEE-DUTTA The Move It all began when we were contemplating a move to Mauritius almost two decades ago. J had just accepted a job offer in the turquoise island, and each time I’d mention the name Mauritius, our friends and family would stare with their big round eyes and exclaim, “Really? Oh wow! You’re going to live in paradise!” So, though I knew they were right in some ways, a part of me would nudge me…
