Hello, hello, hello! Clearly you are curious about the silence, and wondering about my whereabouts. Thing is:
1. I got mugged in Secunderabad.
2. I was two minutes away from my house, walking, and got my handbag snatched by two men on a motorcycle.
3. Because of what we refer to in my family as 'chest-hair attitude' which, as it turns out, I have, I did not let go of the bag that was being snatched.
4. I held on, fell on the road, got dragged along for a bit on the very unfriendly tar and...
5. ... broke my wrist.
6. Yes.
It has now been over a month, my cast is 5 weeks old, and I have but another week to go. So hang in there and don't get your chaddies in a twist. Typing with one hand is really REALLY annoying, so I will now stop.
Meanwhile, my next adventure/project takes me to Masinagudi, at the foothills of Ooty. The jungles beckon. At least a book that is waiting to be written and edited thereabouts. So watch out for this dog, in the midst of- hopefully- no muggers, but the lush green and the occasional rogue elephant.
I'm a tiger when I want love, and surely you know what I am when I disagree.

Oh dear. I wondered what exactly had happened when your explanation for the cast was "I got mugged in Hyderabad".
It was lovely to see you again, even if Carlton did dedicate my song to you despite it being by a band you hate. :)
That sounds awful. Get well soon, girl. And we look forward to your book.
get well soon! missed you on this space.
oh dear! get wel soon~!
So, thatz why you weren't around. waiting for more posts from Ooty. May the cast heal fast enough
that's tough. full healing powers to the wrist and all... but i'm curious- did they manage to get away with the handbag after all?
