Know Me


Thank you for visiting my blogs. I hope your journey through my writings will give you something to cherish later. Do feel free to leave your heartprints. They help me to become a better person, a better writer.

Writing is a passion for me, a life source. I am an Indian woman blogger, a Home maker ( housewife to me means there is a wife  somewhere else too :D ) , mother of two boys but above all a free spirit not chained by religion, rituals, customs, dogmas,caste and color. I thinks there are no borders in our hearts they exist only on the globe. One world, one family

Someone once called me a child woman ..and I feel he was right in some  way ..I love life and all that it stands for.

Curious, adventurous and always ready to learn something new ..That’s me.

Proud to be a born as a woman…..I am much more than what you see. With each day and each experience I add something new to my treasure of life …

My dreams are my threads with which I weave the yarn of life. I spin magic with my thoughts and the universe guides me in every possible way. I am a poetess, a tale weaver and a dreamer. I am the change I want to see..

I write about social issues especially women related issues and also poems, short stories, memoirs. I love to travel and think that nature inspires us in more than one ways so you will find the colors of nature splashed lovingly in my posts. Those who love to read about health, wellness, food, drinks , there is something always new being added.

I am a member of indiblogger , blogadda and those on Linkedin , Twitter .  You can add me there.

It’s been a wonderful journey as a blogger for me. Thank you again for being a part of my world.

Every day ,

I try to expand my horizons,

Inwardly,

In silence.
….
Like the mighty phoenix,
Once again I rise from the flames set to destroy me & take flight.
I am
Stronger
Glorious
Powerful
Victorious

**************
Like the butterfly,
I have the strength and the hope to believe
In time
I will emerge from my cocoon…
Transformed.

  14. Dear Tikuli,

    I went to your LinkedIn page today. You have there you are hoping to be published someday. I would say you are already published both as an author (on Helium and Associated Content) and a Poet (here and elsewhere probably). Seriously – you can say you are published now.

  26. Hello,

    This is Antara from California, I just loved reading your blogs..:-) Kudos!

    I publish an E Magazine B’Khush. http://www.bkhush.com
    Please take a look if you get time :-) I was wondering that will you be interested in sharing some of your posts with the readers of B’Khush ? it’ll be such a pleasure if you kindly agree :-)

    Will be really looking forward to hear from you..

    Regards,

    Antara

    Hi Antara
    thank you so much. I will surely share apost or two with you. It will be a pleasure. will email. Thank you for visiting and appreciating my work. Keep dropping by. Do leave your views.

  27. Bumped into your blog and I must say I am impressed. I love to write too so I can relate a lot with you.
    Though my writing is not even half as good as yours. :)

    I read your recent stories and they had quite an effect. Honestly, I am a little depressed. Wish you would also write a bit more about the positive sides of life. Makes it easy to assimilate the dark realities. The poem on child abuse totally ripped my heart apart. The story about Jai, the little brother was very sad too. It is beautiful in the sense that it feels like a journey through the seasons, complete with the textures of sight, sound and smell. But sad it was!

    Keep writing. I sure will keep reading.

    Hi Smita
    Thank you so much. I will surely write on positive note too but what I write is also a major ingredient of life. Do read my other articles from the categories listed. It is a pleasure to recieve feedback like this. Keep reading. thanks again

  28. Regarding Advertising…

    To whom it may concern

    My name is Bharath Reddy Punuru. I was looking at your website and wanted to find out if it would be possible to advertise with you. I would be willing to pay you a monthly fee just to have a link to my website in your blog roll. No need for a banner ad or anything just a link to my site in your blog roll. I don’t know if you are accepting advertisers but basically I would be happy to pay just for a link.

    Please let me know if you have any questions as I assure you I am a serious and would very much like to do business with you.

    Thank you very much,

    Bharath Reddy Punuru

  29. I am quite impressed with your writing. You clearly have a passion for poetry, Hindi and English. I am in sort of a small fix. My daughter has to study Jaishankar Prasadji’s poem, ‘Arun, yeh madhumai desh hamar?’ for her ICSE exams and I was wondering if it was possible for you to give me a synopsis of the poem? try as I might, I am not able t understand many lines of the poem.

    Thanks so much.

    Best Wishes,
    Shobha

    Dear Shobha
    Thank you for such appreciation. I will surely try to give you the synopsis, till then why not try google. will get back to you.
    I have a passion for poetry and love to let my feelings flow. thank you so much for visiting . keep commenting
    Best to you and good luck to your daughter

  36. Your blog is simply beautiful Tiku. I see so much of me in you. Now, I am talking as if I was very old:))

  55. Dear Ardent Dreamer and believer,

    I must confess it is not seldom for me that I stumble upon women like you. May be even due to the kid that i have in me which i don’t let grow up, i connect with someone like you. Felt this strong urge to leave a comment since I blog too. Was reading trivenis and saw your blog listed.

    My blog is http://www.abhijna.wordpress.com. See if you get time to visit it. It has been a pleasure and will be a regular for sure. :-)

    P.S.: You make me miss my mom. :-)

  56. Just chanced upon your blog, and found it so hard to let go. Your poems evoke feelings of autumn sunshine, mist swirling around trees, crunching of the fallen leaves as a couple walks hand in hand , and of love..we don’ just leave our heartprints here, we leave our hearts.
    Thanks and keep writing.Added you to my favourites

  61. Hi Tikuli,
    I am a first time writer based out of Bangalore. My debut novel- Corporate Atyaachaar…the comical journey of an office doormat is out on stands. (212 pages, Rs.100, Srishti publishers).
    My novel is a funny tale of a boss, a subordinate and their interaction with their HNI clients set against the backdrop of personal finance and wealth management. I have written my novel keeping in mind a young working professional with a view to entertain them.

    Do check it out if you get the time. I would like to know what you thought of the same. Thanks.
