A sweet friend of mine was deeply saddened by the fact that I have a privatised blog. Being a fiercely private person, I am uncomfortable sharing my personal thoughts on a mysterious forum.
At the behest of this loving girl, I have decided to create another blog. This one will include stories and the whims of my imagination. Arati (the loving girl) and I share quite a few parallels. Hailing from similar Malayali families, we both are born on the same day of the same month of the same year, just ten minutes apart. We often complete each others sentences and conclude songs the other is humming.
Also, Prathiba Meenakshi has been my confidante for the past seven and a half years. We share a common love for every little thing that is Middle Eastern. The music, the people, the landscapes, the culture, the clothes (not burqas, manteaus, hijabs, chadors or abaayas) and of course, the hummus, mint tea and shishas. I am quite sure all my stories will include an element of the Middle East and so, it will also touch a part of you, Pebby !!
I hope you don't get too bored reading this, but if you do, feel free to visit Prathiba's blog and rant about your feelings there ;)
Spreading smiles,
Swati.
