What I have been upto.
Hello people,
It is definitely nice to be missed. And of course, it feels good to know that I was.
Thank you to the kind folks who wrote to me reminding me that my blog was not updated for fourteen whole days, and one clever reader went to my FB page and checked my twitter ,(I have been active on both, even though I haven' blogged) and read my posts there and sent me a mail, guessing that the reason for my silence is because I have sent my new manuscript to the publishers :)
No--I haven't. (yet). But I have indeed been working on my 5th book, and working very hard (oh, you have no idea! I work till I fall asleep in front of the laptop) and it is nearly done. But it it will be a while yet, ( a few months) before it is out. It is a lot of work you know, as explained in this post and the real work starts only when the first draft is done.
But I have been upto other things too.
Like using my new phone camera to capture striking images. Like this one.
Isn't this a great picture? (Even if I may say so myself)
Like spending time with my mother who is visiting, as mentioned in this post.
Like celebrating my daughter's 12th birthday.
Like playing with my dog. (yeah, she is a BIG dog)
Like catching up with good friends.
(In the picture with me is Sachin Garg who was in Bangalore recently)
Like reading a lot. (I had to tear myself away from a book to write this post. My reading list tends to be wide and varied)
The only thing I seemed to have missed is catching up on sleep.
And updating this blog.
I plan to make amends. (and yes, leaving a comment on my posts just might goad me into posting more often. :) I do like hearing from you, rather than this being a rambling one-sided monologue :))
Until the next post,
Love and laughter
Preeti

DeletePreeti reading your blog had become a daily dose of happiness and goodness. It gives my life a refreshing start when i read a new post in the morning( i avoid reading or listening to news in the early hours) ... so something was badly missing in life. Thanks for getting it back to gear ... love u
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much! Feels sooooo good to know that I make a difference in someone's life. That too someone I haven't even met. The power of words--so amazing, isn't it?
DeleteYa i can understand it must be a overwhelming feeling to know that your words make a difference in people's life. Words or any other form its God's blessing if one can touch others life in beautiful ways... n u have got that gift. Keep up the goodness in you and keep spreading happiness always ... Love, Life, Happiness.
