Rediscovering My Passion and Writing Career

It could be about an IT personnel who recently wrote a book, directed a movie, moved out of the IT industry to be a photographer or start a unique portal or service, about a unique IT conference, an IT professional who won an award, or any other, that has some connection with the IT industry. The person needn't be working in the IT sector even now - they could have worked in the industry, probably 4-5 years back too.

Seven Years of Freelance Writing

I remember this day (January 13th) every year - it was on this day, seven years back - in 2003, my first article was published in The Hindu's Metro Plus (Thiruvananthapuram edition) as the main story. 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-...

Travelogues and Destination Features

Travelling is a passion I tightly hold on since my childhood and wish to, in the years to come. As a kid, I travelled with my parents and brother and post-marriage, I go on a holiday with my husband and often my parents or brother also accompanies us in the trip. In the recent years, I have had the opportunity to visit “offbeat places” in leading tourist destinations – and most of these have been in Nilgiris (Ooty and around); Goa; Kodaikanal and Munnar. I have spent over 50 days in Kodaikanal (since 1996), over 20 days in Munnar (since 1997) and around 20 days in Ooty (since 1991). Occasionally, I also take solo trips to local places in Kochi. During such tours, I have come across interesting people and stories. I dig out stories common men generally avoid or overlook. I am looking for selling some of these interesting travelogues and also features on destinations. I also have photos to accompany most of my trips. Editors interested in discussing travelogues or destination features, d...
