Kochi to Mumbai ! Writing Knocks Again!

Breaking over five years of silence, hoping I post more frequently.

The past few years, my entire focus was on my new found love, entrepreneurship and the role of a fashion designer. I head the online boutique, My Kerala Sarees (www.mykeralasarees.com - coming back soon!) and market my products through facebook (https://www.facebook.com/mykeralasarees/)  and whatsapp.

Writing was never my ambition except for love for letter writing since I was 11. But, I made a successful career as a professional freelance writer, writing for Indian and International Media for 14 years, without any formal education.

Similarly, in May 2016, I suddenly decided to sell Kerala Sarees and started my business with just six set mundu (the two-piece traditional Kerala attire), In a month, I moved to 50 and the rest is history! Today, I create unique combos of Kerala Sarees and Set Mundu with matching blouses, and all handworked are self-designed.

This added to my motherhood (in the ninth year), moving to a new city - Mumbai, mid this year, has evoked both more responsibilities and the urge to be back to writing after a full four-year break.

My life will continue to flow as events shape up - not restricting my career to writing or entrepreneurship.

Since then, I have written for 66 publications and will touch 67th mark in February 2010. In 2009, I devoted more time for my other interests. In writing, the long-awaited Chicken Soup for the Indian Teenage Soul was published. The anthology has one of my stories - "Grade's Don't Define You." I also sold another personal story to Chicken Soup for the Indian Woman's Soul. I worked on multiple corporate and web content writing projects apart from my regular writing assignments. And more than before, I rejected several of the offered assignments either because they wanted to work for very low rates or the topics weren't of interest to me. For now, I am trying to win assignments from a couple of national publications. And hope I can find time to fulfill my much-...
