Hello! Updates from me!

 


 

Hello dear dear reader!

How are you? Hope all is well (and it is something to be grateful for  these days if the honest answer is yes, all is well)

It's been really long since I posted here. I did post for 30 consecutive days during the first lockdown. Then I extended it, as the lock-down got extended.  But the last post here was in September.

The reason for not posting were many. I faced some deep personal losses (I am still recovering). I moved homes. I had a million things to take care of on the personal front. And amidst all of this, I also wrote a book on positivity! I signed a two book deal with Harper Collins. (Click on the link to know more). It became increasingly difficult to do unpaid work (like writing in this blog. To write here, I have to take out extra time, after completing the work that I get paid for.) 

Many of you wrote to me saying you miss my blog, and that you have been loyal readers for over 14 years! (yes, I started this blog in 2006 and have kept it going since then.) All your love and requests were enough to bring me back :)


So here I am (big wave).

 

One other thing that happened during my silence here is that I got featured on the cover of e-she magazine. They did a beautiful in depth story on me.

If you wish to read the issue, you can download it for free  HERE (or you can also read it online). I have spoken in detail on various topics.

I have been regularly posting on my Twitter and on Instagram.

I just posted this update today:


The above movie is streaming only on Neestream  (you can subscribe for just a month or you can just get this movie alone) as Netflix and Amazon prime refused to take it as it has some controversial issues. 

If you have watched it, do let me know your thoughts.

If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it.

 

More soon, after I read all your comments (Please use my comment box if you are reading this on mail. Head over to my blog and comment there please) . Now that I am back, I intend writing here regularly.

Take care of yourself. Sleep well. Eat healthy and don't forget to get some exercise, even if it is for just 15 minutes a day.

See you in my comment box!

Love
Preeti

    Hi Preeti! Wow, it is so good to see your post. I must add that the first email I received this morning was yours about your latest blog post 🤗. With March just around the corner, I can recall how I used to look forward to your posts in the Blog Marathon in 2020. Sorry to hear about your personal losses. I hope things get better soon. Congratulations to you and your family on your new home! 🏠. Also, Congratulations on signing a two book deal with Harper Collins. 📕📕👏👏 I cannot wait to read about you in E She Magazine. With reference to the movie, 'The Great Indian Kitchen,' I had heard it is an amazing movie, but after reading your tweet, I am more eager to watch it. Thanks to your blog posts, I am happy that I have started exercising at least 30 minutes a day. It really energizes me and makes me feel so good. Thank you for being an inspiration in many ways! Have a beautiful day! 💐🤗🌟📕

    Happy seeing your blog notification in the morning. Just read the article on e she about you. Though the things mentioned in it are already known to me just having a look on it again made my day. It was like re reading some books or seeing our favourite movie for the second time or third time. You are a great motivation for me, In everything you do. Looking forward for more blogs or a blog marathon soon. Happy blogging
    Love
