Literary Safari


The Swahili word safari means 'trip.'
In our lifetimes, we all embark on multiple safaris — trips that are sometimes real and other times, imaginary or metaphorical. What better way is there to keep tabs on our daily journeys (to places known and unknown) than through the written word? Join us on a daily literary safari as we travel and discover the world through books, art, movies, music, family, and more.

The Brief But Wondrous Hiatus of this Blog

Filed under: General,News — Sandhya @ 6:25 am

I’ve been on a brief but wondrous hiatus for the past eight or so weeks, celebrating and treasuring the birth of my daughter who made her very special entrance into this world on September 3rd. I’m not sure whether I’m truly back now or whether this is just a brief hiatus from my maternity sabbatical. We’ll see …

But I thought I’d post a brief little update on a few things I’ve been up to over the past couple of months.

This past summer, I acted as lead content developer and managed the relaunch and redesign of the website of the Student Press Initiative. That site is up and running here.

My article “Rising Tide: The Boom in Historical Fiction About India and the Indian Diaspora” was published in the Summer issue of the journal Multicultural Review. Read it here.

The readers guide I wrote for Ann M. Martin’s Everything for a Dog was published as a super cute bookmark.  Read it here.

The blog Cayenne Lit featured an interview with me last month. Read it here.

    Congrats on this bounty, Sandhya!

    The SPI website looks amazing–dynamic and well-balanced at once. I am glad to learn more about this organization–they have some things in common with Teachers & Writers….

    And congrats on the most precious thing of all–the birth of your daughter!
