Thanks Melanie. I did know you like Indian sweets and clothes. Both are treats. I am attending an Indian wedding this weekend. There will be plenty of both (sweets and clothes) there. Will report on that in the next weekend.
I too have a copy of Julia Cameron's Morning pages. However, I didn't know about the retirement prompts. Thanks for mentioning it, as I will check it out.
The Indian sweets look tempting. My weakness is ice cream. It's an addiction that I can't seem to break, even though it raises my cholesterol.
Could you please send me another link to your free book about the business model that you use. I once printed it off, but can't find it any more. I would appreciate it if you would.
I'm very interested in the child labor system of India. I don't know if you want to write about that, but I'm interested in the class of people who are born in the caste.
I have a background in Anthropology and I've done an extensive study in Indian culture. But that was 20 years ago.
I hope you have a wonderful vacation. I look forward to reading more.
The retirement prompts are in The Artist’s Way For Retirement, which is altogether a new book.
I am eating Indian sweets everyday day here. They are so much around that there is no way to skip them or resist them.
Writing about child labour will require a lot of research that I don’t have means to do. But things are improving. India has prospered so much in past 20 years and keep prospering very fast which has lead to the prosperity of lower economic groups as well. Education is free, and most parents believe in educating their children.
I downloaded and printed the article. Then placed it in my notebook along with some other articles. I like to read as soon as I get up in the morning and I prefer to read from paper, not the cell phone or computer. I don't like all the fuss checking the battery, logging on etc. I find it much easier just to pick up the book and start reading. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
I'm glad India is moving up and protecting child labor. U.S. has strict child labor laws which I'm happy to see. When I was a child, school turned out for one month starting the last of September , so children could help pick cotton. Even though it was a valuable experience for me, the work was very hard. Nowadays, it's against the law to work children under the age of 14 and no child can work in fast food places (where they mostly work) during school hours. I like that law!
Anyway, thanks for the pdf again. Talk with you soon. Carol
I loved your post! I loved seeing your sketchbook!!! Thank you also for so generously sharing a how-to create digital products. I want to make more ebooks so I'm looking forward to reading your instructions closely. As for Indian sweets and samosas - in college I met two international students from India in a multicultural supper club i was a part of and from that experience i agree with you - the Indian sweets are amazing and unlike anything in America. I am, however, more drawn to the savory samosas and could easily become addicted to those!!! Happy travels!! Enjoy a samosa or two for me please?
I totally related to that feeling of time-traveling we get when we return to our past lives. Thank you for transporting us to another world. Your story engaged my senses!
Thank you Melanie. I am enjoying India. We couldn’t visit for three years, so this trip is very special. I am glad you can get Indian sweets in Newzealand and you have tried them. But you have to travel to India to taste the real thing.
Thanks for the note Michelle. I was wondering whether I have provided any value in the post or not. I was feeling bad that I was writing (rather babbling) about myself or my experiences. A lot of readers liked the newsletter. So I am going to write more travel stories like this.
Yes it is easy to be vegetarian or vegan in India. In fact 90% of people here don’t eat meat.

Since you have already downloaded it, you should be able to get it again. I haven’t brought my computer with me, hence don’t have the pdf.

I am glad that you liked it Amie. I have India stories coming in future newsletters.
I hope you enjoy India. I love Indian sweets, so delicious. I love the clothes shops too, such wonderful vibrant colours.

Lovely sensory travel tale, Neera. Those sweets look good. It's easy to be a vegan in India isn't it?
