A note from me to you (blog marathon post 14)

Ever since this blog marathon started, I have always taken care to compose each post carefully. It isn't as though I am writing for the sake of posting something. And of course, I don't get paid for writing here. I write here for the sheer joy of it and to connect with you. It feels great when you all write back, and tell me that you enjoy my posts.

I was also thinking this morning, how easy it is to pass a remark about the 'quality of writing ' on this blog. Those who have followed my blog will know that I do take care to see that I  always post something interesting---a poem I wrote,an inspirational post, a photo that matters to me,something amusing and things like that. It is always personal, always warm. It is never a callous post. 

If you have any requests for a particular topic, do say so in my comment box and I will consider that for my next post.

  One of the really nice things about being a best-selling author is that I get to travel to many places I have never been to, on my book tours as well as for giving talks at Corporate organizations and educational institutions. XIMB had invited me for a talk and it was superbly received.  I had shared pictures in this post.

I got a chance to visit Orissa, earlier this month. The beauty of Lingaraj temple was astounding. If you haven't yet visited it, do put in on your To-do list for 2016.
When I visited Bhubhaneshwar on my book tour, I also got a chance to visit Kedar Gauri temple, where I fell in love with  a cat that returned the favour. I always have a way with animals. The cat followed me around and even slept in my lap --which anyone who is familiar with cats will tell you is uncommon, unless the cat truly likes you.The priest at the temple told me that there is a tradition in that temple, where if your wish is fulfilled, you gift a cat to the Goddess. That intrigued me. When I mentioned this to the journalist who was interviewing me the next day, he told me the story behind this tradition.
Come back tomorrow, if you want to hear the story of how this tradition came to be! 
Till then, keep smiling.
