About
I am an Indian woman in London. Used to be a lawyer, and sometimes still dabble in that world. At other times I write.
I live with a Significant Other (referred to as “A”). Reference is made to sisters R1 and R2 who used to live with us. This is the (self-indulgent) space where I record thoughts on my personal life and various obsessions and collect links to things I find interesting.
I like and am interested in:
Dogs and Cats.
Indian Classical Music. The posts on music are very basic and some of them (such as the T is for Tanpura series) are driven by questions people ask me. There is a lot of other information on the net for those who want to go deeper-do explore the links section.
Religion. I am Hindu and derive a lot of inspiration from other religious traditions. At the same time I can be critical of all of them.
Migration, Borders and Diasporic Communities.
Gardening. This keeps me sane.
Reading.
History.
Politics.
Travelling.
And many other things.

Hey David, been back for quite a while since the break I took…but just changed my domain again in the past couple of days.
I used to search for mg and never realised she had morphed into Ra! duh!
Yes, I couldn’t stand that name!
You had mentioned a Google group for peace in a comment on my blog… I was wondering if there is a link to it on your blog.
a very interesting blog… come and lets use it meaningfully and effectively.
I relish your postings and look forward to more soon. For retired oldies these are great pat-time.
God Bless You and thank you—RVRamani

I happened to chance by your blog only a few days back and had left a comment. I was about to add you to my blogroll when I saw the ‘change of place’!! A very interesting blog and I am (slowly) reading your earlier posts-

I saw that comment, thanks. Have yet to make all the old ones, active, sorry, will be doing that slowly.
You know, it’s so strange, I had a picture of you in my mind – and you look so much like what I imagined!
I love the Buddhas in your header: where was the picture taken?
