Hi, Nanditha!

I love reading these tags because it helps me get to know you better! I'm glad you're reading "The Konkans", what are your impressions so far? Your favorite smells are the same as mine...I also love the smell of fresh laundry especially if it's been drying in the sun!

You've lived in Japan? That must have been quite an experience. How long were you there and have written about your time there? I'd love to read it if you have.
