Weaving a Web

About Me

Posted by Phoenixritu March 7, 2008 |

Life is such a funny thing. When I was born, I thought …. was actually convinced that I inhabited the skies ……. At about age 6 I realised to my great disappointment that my address was “Earth” ( 3rd rock from the sun ). I found it a very humbling experience. Really not happening …. Ever since, I’ve been wanting to go back into infinity – like they say in Star Trek “Boldly go where no man has gone before ” I’ll get there, one way or another. My interests in astrology, meditation are closely linked with this.

I am also a chatterbox, and I love blogging because no one tells me to shut up here. My family loves it because I don’t drive them insane with my chatter this way. Well, I am a published author, my short stories have been published by the CBSE, I am featured on Ginger Chai, Blog Adda and am currently involved with a lot of other writers in publishing an anthology of short stories called Ripples. If not the galaxies, at least I can soar above earth this way.

I live in the NCR with my two sons, daughter in law, three dogs and forty fishes, and work at a regular office.
