I can feel the wind against my face as Im waiting for the dust to settle down. I am not exactly travel weary , considering I am not a prolific traveller like some of my blog mates , but there is this inexplicable feeling that goes on in my head.Besides that,I realize that I am at least three months behind schedule on my posts..There is the Coorg trip, the Hoysala trail, a weekend family trip to a temple near Bangalore which has some rare paintings, a couple of coffee estates and the Singapore trip..Where do I start ?
Im also lagging behind in my writing assignments.I have to finish a few stories – one for an inflight magazine , another couple for a Bangalore based magazine and newspaper and a bit of a contribution to a book and my regular column to The Hindu that I need to file. If you happen to see the Metro Plus on Mondays, do read Inside Story every fortnight. I write about a story behind the destination – the legends, the myths, the history ..My articles have also appeared in Simplifly and Jet Wings this month and earlier in Brunch, New Indian Express .. but my posts come first ..Im working on launching something on my own, which I hope will be out by August – September ..so all this probably means a bit of rest for my feet..But who knows where destiny leads..another road, another shore ..
Dear friend from so far away…you have such fascinating experiences and quite a full schedule…I think most likely you will handle it all well…pace yourself…good blessings for you…Dee Dee
fallen leaves …..weary and tired and yet awaiting for new leaves to take the place …a good post indeed !!!

I have read your articles in The Hindu. I used to wonder whether it is the same Lakshmi, now I am sure.

Have fun during working and traveling. School year is over so now I am looking for summer jobs.
Hey, your blog is always fascinating to me as you write from heart. But agree with you “who knows where destiny leads. another road, another shore ..” – Thanks for visiting Random Thoughts.
Lakshmi-
kudos on all your writing assignments and of course on your travelog..looking forward to all the posts..have added you to my blog list to be a regular here.
hmmm…so a long schedule for you…I’m also lagging behind schedule on my posts too…so many things on mind & places to write about, but so much of other work….I read one of your travel articles in some airlines a few months back….you are doing a commendable job & a nice picture there too…just work toward your dreams & they will come off smoothly…have a nice time!
India through the eyes of the traveler is much more beautiful than the eyes of the director…..i was amazed.
Lakshmi,
With such a busy life, no wonder you are lagging behind on your blog, but then Lakshmi, you are doing great in spite of your other assignments on hand. I’ll be around on your blog and in the meantime, if you can mail me your other articles, it will be appreciated.
All the best for you to continue with your travels as well with all your excellent writing.:)

You seem extremely busy. Well, true, if we have passed the days of excitment of the trip, then it also effects our writings about it, i have felt that often.
