A festive note from me with some juicy tidbits thrown in :)
Hi there,
How have you been? Has the festive season brought cheer? It has for me--there is such a lot happening in my life! (which is a good thing I suppose even though I miss my own company which I enjoy a lot)
I have just got back from a WONDERFUL family vacation at Singapore. My mother loved it.
That is my favourite snap from the vacation. Clicked at Orchid Garden, where my mom transformed into a little girl, seeing the orchids in full bloom. I think she is more beautiful than the orchids that she admired.
I haven't forgotten that the results of TOUCH Thursday no.4 had to be announced. It is just that I managed to touch base with Westland (my publishers) only yesterday.
And the winner of TOUCH Thursday No.4 is
Anoptimistic whose winning entry is

Congratulations! (please mail me your postal address on ps(at)preetishenoy(dot)com and Westland will send you the TOUCH mug.
This morning when I was walking my dog, a lady who had moved in recently into a house at the end of the lane started chatting with me.
"Are you working?" she asked.
"I am a writer," I replied.
"What do you write about?" was her next question.
"I write novels," I said.
"Oh, writers are creative folks aren't they?" she continued.
"I guess", I said and smiled.
She wanted to know the names of my books and I told her to google my name and she would get all details. I find it tiresome to explain to people what I write about.
I find it easier to talk to you all, through my blog.
Does that make me a writer? I guess it does :)
Reminds me of the quote from the movie Indie Game.
"It's why a writer writes---because they can. It's the most effective way they can express themselves."
One of my resolutions for the new year is to write more in this blog. I will try and post more often, than I do now.
What has been happening in your lives? Any exciting plans for hols? Any resolutions? What is the thing that you want to change about yourself? Thought about it?
Do think.
And ACT.
And may the festive season bring tonnes of happiness to you!
Love
Preeti
ps: We set up a Christmas tree even though we do not celebrate Christmas, because I had a lovely tree and it seemed such a shame to do nothing. My mother and my kids decorated it. And I think it looks fabulous! Will post a pic sometime.
