Its been a while... and am back in 'My own Space"

I just need to get a hang of this 'space'... I quite like this little nook of mine in this Super Highway.. that will annexe all my memoirs in pen - published and unpublished.

Now, I write in my own style of what I like to do - My travel; and Interiors and Design. For publishing? Yep and Nyahhhh.... The style doesnt quite 'appeal' to many...

My joy is travelling - a general term today! The idea is walking lanes, tea estates and corners; riding on horse and bullock carts; visiting old homes; walking fields; driving roads past scenice views and even paths that have had terror attacks.... My other interest is exploring new Interiors and Design...- a heritage walk is a jackpot! with both travel and design cocktailed...:)

All these discoveries and memoirs find their way into Logs and Diaries and some in suited spaces in print, well...some find their way in publications... but all edited and chopped to 'fit' in with the publication requirements. Some ONLY if they will read and mean something to a reader who has seen the mention of the famed names in Advertisements or any place that will create exciting juices to flow... It does get upsetiing.. but then its a job done for the job-sake.

Now, when you write of a home built in 1901 from ruins of haveli, even if you have tried to romaticise it for the old-day feel... let it not be new to you that the matter is shredded for space and to accomodate just the home-interiors because that is what the magazine is about. And as a writer you may suggest pictures and effects.. Hush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are only a contributor and if the owner (whose home you spent 7 hours shooting) asks you, 'Why these pictures?'. And you say, 'I did chose them, but the magazine thought otherwise...'

Now... you want to share this amazing place leaden in history in Israel.... and the Editor excuses saying it is 'Catholic'!!!! .. well if she meant Bible, I dont know.... I always felt that when you visit a place of significance your mind is tuned to it... and so it is....

So I dedicate this as My Own Space for all my w-o-r-d-s... no travails and no stressful-tears.... The beginning will soon find its way... with all my stories published and unpublished - all unedited...

So.. here we go My Own Space....
