      <image:title>Sign-up/ - Letter 07 - Summer-Monsoon</image:title>
      <image:caption>A cloudy, rainy day. My neighbor’s son sits sprawled on a white plastic chair on their balcony, restful and casually observant of the street below. He has been here as long as me today, watching over some men working on the side of the footpath, digging concrete to lay some cables perhaps. Earlier this morning, another neighbor had a loud argument over the sweeping of the leaves on the street with the lady who comes to do the sweeping. It lasted for a good part of an hour. The vegetable vendors came soon after, and as per an arrangement, one of the women rang our doorbell so karthik’s mother who would have missed them otherwise, could come out and make her purchase. We will now be eating drumstick sambar with rice for lunch.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sign-up/ - Letter 06 - Summers Passed Since We Spoke</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi! Hope you are doing swell!  I'm repeatedly told April is spring here in North America, but just like the date (where the month goes before the day), adapting to these changes is taking a very long time. Come April and my heart screams summer! After all it is summer in India, for the few months before monsoon kicks in. Ah, monsoon! So, even though I am writing to you from 5 degrees Celsius weather, let me believe I'm eating raw mangoes and getting some sun in the sweet start of summer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sign-up/ - Letter 5 - Roundup of Emotions</image:title>
      <image:caption>How is the weather there? I ask this all the time speaking to friends or family. I ask this before we visit a new place. And a "How's the weather been?" as soon as we arrive at a new place. Its usually either this or a constant update on my feelings about the weather. I like this weather. I hate this weather. Last winter was colder. This monsoon is different than the last. A "it feels like it may get really cold tonight!" just before we step out for a Saturday night, after having stayed home editing pictures for the last three days.  What am I really saying though? What are we talking about? Is it seeking comfort with the hope that everybody around you maybe experiencing the same thing as you when it comes to the weather? It is nice to be able to talk about something so basic and transient as the weather, just so we can all sort of be on the same page about things.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Okay, here I am, with my serious glasses on, two cups of black coffee down, offering a sincere apology if you looked forward to receiving one of these letters earlier but felt let down with the waiting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sign-up/ - Letter 3 - Heartbreak Central</image:title>
      <image:caption>Now here we are with Heartbreak Central. With the last letter mainly focussed on all the joy love brings, I only thought it fair to address the other sides love as well! I haven’t got it all covered, but I did want to share a few things. Theres also a section by Caroline, who is rapidly becoming my greatest muse!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sign-up/ - Letter 2 - February Specials</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’ll also let you in on a little secret! This is my favourite month. This is also the month I married Karthik. This is also the month I wake up early and over coffee just smile about the gloomy, cloudy bangalore mornings where the weather is perfection! Not too hot, not too cold. Just a touch chilly. Perfect!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sign-up/ - Letter 1 - Winter of our Discontent</image:title>
      <image:caption>My words they die on their way to you, cold and heavy. With light fading, the gloom prevails, as all evidence of reality lies frozen, the stillness muffles all the truth being spoken, offering shelter only for all that is false. This is the winter of discontent, the times of our disconnect.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Letter 07 - Summer-Monsoon A cloudy, rainy day. My neighbor’s son sits sprawled on a white plastic chair on their balcony, restful and casually observant of the street below. He has been here as long as me today, watching over some men working on the side of the footpath, digging concrete to lay some cables perhaps. Earlier this morning, another neighbor had a loud argument over the sweeping of the leaves on the street with the lady who comes to do the sweeping. It lasted for a good part of an hour. The vegetable vendors came soon after, and as per an arrangement, one of the women rang our doorbell so karthik’s mother who would have missed them otherwise, could come out and make her purchase. We will now be eating drumstick sambar with rice for lunch.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Letter 06 - Summers Passed Since We Spoke Hi! Hope you are doing swell!  I'm repeatedly told April is spring here in North America, but just like the date (where the month goes before the day), adapting to these changes is taking a very long time. Come April and my heart screams summer! After all it is summer in India, for the few months before monsoon kicks in. Ah, monsoon! So, even though I am writing to you from 5 degrees Celsius weather, let me believe I'm eating raw mangoes and getting some sun in the sweet start of summer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>for past newsletters - Letter 5 - Roundup of Emotions (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Letter 5 - Roundup of Emotions How is the weather there? I ask this all the time speaking to friends or family. I ask this before we visit a new place. And a "How's the weather been?" as soon as we arrive at a new place. Its usually either this or a constant update on my feelings about the weather. I like this weather. I hate this weather. Last winter was colder. This monsoon is different than the last. A "it feels like it may get really cold tonight!" just before we step out for a Saturday night, after having stayed home editing pictures for the last three days.  What am I really saying though? What are we talking about? Is it seeking comfort with the hope that everybody around you maybe experiencing the same thing as you when it comes to the weather? It is nice to be able to talk about something so basic and transient as the weather, just so we can all sort of be on the same page about things.</image:caption>

Perfect!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Letter 1 - Winter of our Discontent My words they die on their way to you, cold and heavy. With light fading, the gloom prevails, as all evidence of reality lies frozen, the stillness muffles all the truth being spoken, offering shelter only for all that is false. This is the winter of discontent, the times of our disconnect.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have had this little motor boat since I was about 10 years old. You place a small candle at the centre and the heat generated makes the boat move forward with a loud tapping sound. We were so thrilled to see it actually move around in the water! Every year, we’d wait for the rainy season to start and test it out in every puddle that’s large enough for the boat.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have two to show you! This watch and this keychain. The watch I have had since I was in 7th standard, must have cost about Rs.35 that time. Swiss made, West-end brand. About 52 years old! My first watch! The keychain is from when I got married and moved into a joint family. That was, 42 people, in one house! There were so many many kids around the house so we’d have to keep the rooms locked at times, that is when I got this keychain. It is silver, I used to keep it with me at all times. This one is 43 years old, as many years I’ve been married.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The tattoo machine isn’t very old. I bought it in 2010. It is my first mine-mine machine. I have always loved art and design, but I always struggled with finding something that I loved doing and when I first got into tattooing, I immediately knew this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I connected with it immediately! So i know I’ll never be throwing these away. The pendant, I must have bought it in 2008. It was so different, something I had never seen before. I wear it all the time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This happened when I was in Jordan on work. I had this dream one night, that my sister was with a small girl. As far as I knew, they weren’t even trying for a baby. But for some reason I had this dream, where she was with her daughter. Well, my family is terrible with heirlooms, so I thought to myself, if I see something I like today, something antique, something I just love as soon as I see it, Im going to take it as a sign and I’m going to buy it. When I went out that day, of course, I saw these and I fell in love! I bought it, and thought okay, I’ll probably give it to my niece one day. What do you know, I call my sister to tell her about this dream and she tells me that they’ve been trying for another child! She calls me a month later, to tell me that she’s pregnant! They have the baby and its a girl! I hope she is into antiques and these things when she grows up. It’d be great!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is a little embarrassing. I still have the bed-sheet my mom had me sleep on, the day I was born! It is now in four pieces, although, yeah I have all four with me. It tore because I tried to wash it before bringing it along today. My mom will flip out if she found out that I’m telling people about this haha. Husband: "We’ve actually had fights about this! She practically wraps it all around her like a mummy and sleeps in it. In fact, she stole it from her house and brought it along when we got married!" Oh yeah! He kept saying- It’s either me, or that sheet!  You know what I picked. Ha ha!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Girl with no particular skills seeks employment”. Yeah, that would have been me if it weren’t for writing. So my mum is sort of like the patron saint of my life. Those books she got me? They got me all the things I have in life. As a kid, I discovered books to be far more consistent than people. No bullying, no bossing around, no ice-queen treatment. As a tween, I bonded with my bestie over books. As a teenager, bestie introduces me to LM Montgomery and Ms. Montgomery in turn, introduces me to Emily - the protagonist of this book. As a result, teenaged-me knows I want to become a writer. As an adult, Emily keeps me company through the godawful early twenties. As a later-twenty-something, I find the boy in the workplace - where I work as a writer. So yeah...see why this is the talisman of my life?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is about 18 years old. This was once when we’d gone on a vacation with all of my extended family to Davengere. It was during our summer vacation. We were the only ones who had come in from Udupi, where we used to live. It was a fun trip! Ha! I remember my cousin cried because her mom caught the ball when we were playing cricket and she got out! Soon, the vacation was over and on our way back, we stopped at this point where we were to part ways. I was very sad. We saw a store there selling all these kids toys. To cheer me up, my dad said we could go in and buy anything we wanted. The store had a lot of Hot-Wheels stuff. But then, I spotted this bike. It was expensive at the time. About 700 rupees! I pestered my dad for it and him being the sweetest, bought it for me. I was really happy then. Then we went our way. This bike has been with me ever since. Honda NR750 scale model. I think its 1:24.</image:caption>
