Thank you Anita. I am working hard on bringing humour in my writing. I used to be a reflective writer. My tone used to be serious and self-deprecating. I started sounding boring and preachy. I am glad humour is working better.

I do this all the time, Neera. I read a post on Substack last week, which generated my post this week. People seem to like it!

That’s the only way to kickstart my brain. That’s why I read and read and read.

I’m in the #3 food prep.. lol, definitely not in the writing. You are amazing Neera, no wonder so many people follow you, wanting to learn from you. I return to your life story where you talk about your grandfather and father the great teachers and you have inherited their wisdom. 🤗

Thank you for mentioning that, Sally. I am hardly in my father and grandfather’s category. But as I’m aging I’m probably sounding like them. They surely are my role models for humour.
