I did check the website out. Very interesting and well written. You definitely observe day to day life from a different lens. Here is a marketer’s comment on the site. For such a sunny person, why such a black background to the blog.

Hey Ratna, 

I read your synopsis yesterday. Sounds great.  Am sure it is only a matter of time.  I like your blog.
 I acutally like the black background because it is stylish and makes your pictures pop.

HI Ratna,
 
Thanks for letting me know.  I read  the story or should I say ‘reflections’ and I can relate to this so much.  Just this past month I got several indoor plants (which I had long given-up) and my kid and I truly enjoy watching them grow and change.  In fact, Nadia has a Bonsai, that she read to and talked to when it was wilting away.  Needless to say, the plant in glowing!  She named the plant Anjali.  She was influenced by a story she read about talking to plants…and also JC Bose biography from Amar Chitra Katha.

The kids have named all the plants…
 I have promised that we will have a flower and vegetable garden this spring!  
 And my dream is to have a glass house too…
 And I do believe life passes by so quickly that one should take time to smell the roses along the way…
 
So I loved your short story…

On the story: ‘ Reflections of Life ‘

Dear Ratna,

 I am AMAZED at what you have created! I had no idea you have a writer in you. Just reading your story was therapeutic and made me feel I was in your garden. How well you have channelled yourself from architect to mother to gardener to writer….very beautiful, admirable, enviable…

I hope you find a publisher soon…

Love,

Meera.

 Dear Ratna,

 I got my road band functioning and saw your blog in detail. Amazing. Incredible. You write so well and are genuinely creative. Frankly it came to me as a surprise. You are our Ratna but the many facets of this jewel were not known to us. We are proud of you. The words chosen and the flow of narration is good. All you need is a publisher. May be Delhi based Penguin India will be proper forum. You just need contacts. After it is done in English, Granthali can do Marathi version.

      No, I am not a professional journalist. I am an architect who applies her skills to writing as well. There is a book I have written that I hope gets published in my lifetime. By the way, thanks for the compliment!

      Ventego,

      Welcome to Creative Joys and thanks for bookmarking it. This blog changes gears with seasons. During spring and summer the posts are on gardening, painting, photography, travel etc. But fall and winter is when I do the serious writing e.g. book reviews, architecture, stories etc. But no matter which category I choose, there is plenty to read in every post! So stick around and enjoy the ride!

    Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

       You can start with WordPress. They offer many templates and options. Just browse their website and see the range of templates they have to offer and then choose the one that suits your future blog’s content best. Its free and very easy to use. All the best.

       No, I didn’t hire a developer. It was easier than that! Its the Hemingway template offered by WordPress. They have a lot of different templates and a blogger is free to choose whichever suits his/her blog’s content best. Check it out.
